No kidding. Believe it or not, both in the house where I live and in the house that my family owns, we have no ladders, but stairs. 
I simply feel annoyed and angry when I have a walk outside, or I am in the supermarket, or something else, then somebody calls me and expects me to spend time with him no matter the situation I am in. He should call me at home. If I am not at home, he will call again. If he doesn't, then it wasn't important. End of story. I even do not switch on my answering machine most time when I leave.
And as I already said: there is much too much silly talking going on anyway.  |
That's a pretty good comeback, about the stairs :rotfl: But it's not going to help you when you need to change a light bulb or clean the gutters.
You must be one of the last people in Western Civ to feel that having someone call you to talk is rude. I agree, there is a
LOT of silly talk, stupid by my standards, where people feel they have to be on their phones with someone, yak-yakking, "...so what did she say? Oh yeah?" But hey, we can get into a whole 'nother discussion about useful and wasting time.
But, in reality, the mobile phone is very useful. Don't you ever go to meet someone, and then after a while, maybe you need directions, or maybe they do not show up (and they need directions, lol)... without a mobile, you have to go home and call to see what happened. Very wasteful.
Or you and your kids split up at a large sports complex... or you are meeting a friend at the same place, with thousands of people around...man, having a mobile is great.
Or your girlfriend calls you and asks you to pick up some stuff for the kitchen on your way over (bear with me, this is actually a
good thing), so you dutifully drop by the supermarket and get whatever, and then get rewarded later for being so thoughtful.
Or your office calls and they need some info? I mean, you know it is important to assist whenever possible. It's your job we're talking about here.

Welllll.... no one says you have to answer it. Ignore his calls a few times, he won't call you anymore in the future
