Do You hate Answering Machines?!

I get aggravated when people don't use the landline. I have limited minutes on my cell phone plan and can not afford to go over. People know I am home, yet the call the cell. Then if I think it will be a lengthy call I say I will call them back and of course they know why and then tell me to just get more minutes on my plan. I got my cell phone for my convenience not their's.

As for leaving a message, some message are time sensitive and leaving a message would not be worth the effort. And of course many people don't call back if you leave a message anyhow.

I am like you, most of my calls come in through my cell phone. My grandma has a cell phone, but she gets calls on both. Personal on the cell, business on the house phone. Also we have an internet connection.

I don't like talking to a machine. I don't know why that is, but if it isn't something important, I won't leave a message. That goes for both landlines and cell phones. Usually when I am leaving a message, its a business call and I understand why the line is busy. Otherwise, for personal calls I will just call back.

Normally if I'm ringing anyone I do it from the landline phone as my mobile never has any credit on it!! And I've found out recently that when I'm making landline calls it seems to come up on everyone's phone as 'unknown number' so if I don't leave a message they wouldn't know it was me!! lol x

I find it much easier to talk to a machine than a real person. I think that's probably why I find it so much easier to talk to friends on the internet than in real life.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a mentalist who only has online and imaginary friends, I'm just not a people person. I do put on a front in real life so everyone I know assumes I'm rather confident, if a bit quiet.

I love having friends and having a lot of people around me, I just don't usually want to speak to them or hear them speaking (unless I'm drunk). They get on my nerves; I have better things to do than to go around speaking to people!
