Hello..?
Guide to Phone Etiquette:* If you call me and I don’t answer, don’t keep calling me unless it’s an emergency. I will see the 1st missed call, just as good as I’ll see the 50th. So stop miss calling me. It won’t make me any less busy or any more available!
* If you’ve miss called me a million times and left me a million sms messages.. and I still haven’t responded… GET THE HINT!
* If you call me and I’m on the other line, stop calling every 5 seconds. I saw that you’re trying to call and as soon as I’m done, I’ll call you.
* If you whine every time I call you about how long it’s been since my last call, it’ll just make the time gap even longer before my next one!
* If I ask you something via sms please respond via sms - don’t call instead. If I was able to talk to you, I would’ve called to begin with.
* If you have a quick question and I didn’t answer your call, just sms me. It’s easier for me to reply with a quick sms instead of having a long conversation while I’m at work.
* When you call and I sound busy, I probably am.. so get to the point.

when ppl do this to me, then i purposely don’t call them for a while. i can’t stand ppl who are so controlling and such, and think you have nothing better to do than speak to them.
good list.

Well said!!
However, I do call back instead of sms, due to the answer being too long or me too busy to type it all out. \or if i am driving etc.

i have something to add to the list.
- if i am calling you, pick up, no matter what time it is, cause my needs are more important than yours, and i’m probably calling for a reason. lol
