Post by: c64rulez on January 19, 2006, 04:50:11 pm

I just hate it when it happens, and happen it does.

When you get older you'll realize that 99.9% of phone calls can wait.  Let the voicemail get it and relax.

I rarely answer the phone unless it is sitting right next to me. I usually yell, "Phone's ringin'!" and someone answers it. That's what family members and answering machines are for.  ;D

It's not the phone that's the problem, it's UPS.

Everyone knows they have cameras in your bathroom.

Ahh ! A true pretender is the one who denies being one.

Me either.   
I ignore my home phone ringing whether I'm in the shower or not.   Chad is right, 99.9% of phone calls can wait and answering them is frequently just a waste of my time.

I ignore the phone wherever I am.

We have "distinctive ring" in my house (if you can remember that old term).  Calls for my wife and telemarketers sound like a normal ring.  Calls for me are silent, but I still ignore them.  Everyone who knows me well enough to want to talk to me know I won't answer or call them back ;)

The only people who EVER call me are my wife, my mother, or a bill collector.

I don't answer the phone much.

If I'm in the shower like hell I am going to get out.   Now answering the Door is another matter.  Which brings me to a funny story.

So we had been redoing the bathroom and we couldn't get the water shut off to the house.  Next day I call the water company and ask if it costs anything to have them come out and shut the water off.  They reply no.

5 minutes later i am soapin up in the shower when I start hearing knocks at the door.  After the knocks go away the water suddenly stops running.  I run to the door soaking wet w/ a towel wrapped around me and soap all over.  This BIG black dude that looks like Michael Clarke Duncan (http://i.imdb.com/mptv1.gif) is outside about to leave from turning off my water.  I had to explain that I would like the water turned on so I could finish my shower.  And that I didn't need it turned off at this time.  The guy got a kick out of it and turned the water back on.

I still wont answwer the door if I am in the shower because my neighborhood is a door to door salesman's dream.  every house is kinda close to the street and not to far apart.  Groups of them will park at one end and hit up the entire neighborhood in 2 hours.

Luckily for you he wasn't gay.

For a true peace of mind I highly recommend buying a CORDLESS PHONE.
