Annoying is…

The phone ringing while you are washing the dishes, so you finish rinsing the pot you have in your hand, dry your hands and pick up the phone just as it stops ringing … then you immediately hit the speed dial number for the person who just called JUST A SECOND BEFORE, and they are already on the phone with someone else (or on line or something). I mean, what the hell?! This particular family member knows that I always answer when they call, and if I don’t, I call RIGHT BACK within a minute. I guess whatever it was couldn’t wait, and I am betting it was nothing more important than gossip or telling me the Asian Pears are ready for picking. You know, things that could wait until our regularly scheduled Saturday phone call.

The least they could have done was leave a message, if it was that damn important they can’t wait a few seconds for me to call them back and had to go call someone else to talk to! Grrr.
