Pet Peeve #6

People who can't use phones.


The kind of behaviour I'm referring to includes:

> People who ring YOU up, and then assume the tone of someone who is being inconvenienced by the conversation that they initiated. I have numerous friends who do this.

> People who think that your automated message is actually talking to them (this is a staple mishap for the elderly).

> People who ring me up between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and ask me 'What a gwan', despite knowing full well that I am in full-time employment.

> People who utilise their ringtone as a backing track over which to perform turgid raps.

> People who hold their phones at unorthodox angles when talking into them.

> People that employ any kind of headgear as part of their personal phone experience.

> People that have a phone that requires you to jab at it with a tiny stick.

> People that pretend that their phone is a pint of Carling.

    Don't pretend you never do this. Don't you remember the Ubernators? LOL.
