I Hate The Phone



~I hate the phone...

~I think that's why I love my computer so much. I love communicating but I hate talking on the phone..it actually gives me a migraine. Phone calls almost never seem to come at a convenient time; they're always an unexpected interruption. Often, I completely forget what I was doing after someone calls. The caller always calls when it's an opportune time for them...not knowing if it's a good time for you! But it rarely stops them.


~Not so with email. It's completely at the discretion of both the sender and the recipient. You send it when it's convenient and you open it when it's convenient. You can think before you write so you almost always say what you want to say. You can verify info before you answer a question so you're rarely caught off guard. I love email. And Facebook is fun for quick comments to friends and family. If I ever made phone calls to comment on things the way I comment on Facebook I'd be disowned. No interruptions...just a glance at the computer screen now and then.


~I have a few friends who prefer phone calls. I don't understand it. I guess they like to talk. I guess they don't get headaches. I guess they don't mind interruptions.


~Not me. Email me anytime. But call me only when you must.

  3. I guess I should have qualified this by saying that the exception is my best friend and my offspring. I always love talking to them.

  5. I stumbled on your blog from Nezzy's and I just had to comment on this post. I hate the phone as well and if my folks lived closer I'd get rid of it! I also don't have a cell phone and have cell phone rage quite often. Just wanted to let you know you weren't the only one! ;0)

  6. Oh, Joanne. You took the words right out of my mouth! Phone calls were so heavy yesterday. There are tons of things we can do to communicate online, which is more convenient than the actual phone transactions. What anti-virus do you use?

I love hearing from you, but due to a large number of spam comments recently, I am now monitoring comments before publishing them. The Internet is a weird place sometimes!
