PHONE PHOBIA

Think i developed some sort of phone phobia- means phone-conversation-intolerance. Note the reasons why....

1) Sometimes can be a waste of time- if the person is talking nonsense or random things or that the person is doing most of the talking.
2) makes my ear ache
3) calls from customers- who never states clearly what the problem is and resorts to barking on the phone instead....
4) calls from home- no matter where i am, it's always scary to receive calls from home, for fear of bad news...
5) i have one particularly really long-winded colleague, and i'm really afraid of long-winded people, but because this guy is an old man, out of respect, i layan the phonecall, but always seem to be in utmost agony and constant headache-ing to hear him ramble on...
6) i really can't stand receiving calls from or making calls to customer service- of any kind:banking, phone services, etc
7) you know when sometimes you don't really mean it when you say 'keep in touch' or you exchange numbers because you wanna be polite, and then the fella ends up calling you to meet up countless times?
8) dunno why aunties can't just say what they want to say and be done with it.... Like "i need a ride" can become 'because this this this...and then.....then ar.....after that...so ar...."

All i wanna say is....although i do appreciate a drop-by-hi-i'm-still-alive phonecalls...but yeah, keep is short and sweet :)

Yes, I prefer a short and simple call. I always get phone calls from people whom I am not really close to and they'd start ranting --- *sweat*

I don't mind but sometimes I have things to do too. Hmm.
