Phone calls

Count me in. I really dislike it. The only calls I look forward to are to my kids and to my fiancee who lives on the other side of the Atlantic so thats the only way we really get to talk. Other than that I would rather speak to someone in person or online.

And for all these years I thought I was the only one!

I hate to make calls, but don't mind receiving them that much unless I know it's someone that is hard to get away from. I'm seriously considering getting rid of our voice mail. With the home phone, cell phone, and business line (not to mention email) anyone that I really want to have reach me has plenty of other alternatives other than leaving me a message and hoping I'll call back.

I hate talking on the phone too, glad to see there are others like me!

I rarely talk to relatives on the phone, would rather just visit them in person.

I HATE making phone calls to insurance companies, etc. and I get so nervous about it that I actually WRITE OUT exactly what I want to say, because if I don't I'll stammer and forget half of what I need/want to say!

I'm a waitress, and hate hearing the phone ring at work. SO OFTEN it's a "personal call" for another employee. The boss will fuss and fume and write a generic message on the communication board about personal calls but she will not talk to the actual offenders so we just have to put up with it. With one employee it got so bad that I actually gave up my nights working when she is working (Tuesday & Wednesday) because she will get a dozen or more calls each night. It's so frustrating to be in the furthest away dining room clearing a table and the phone rings and you run for it and it's for her! Arg!

I'm with you. I hate calling people. I don't know why and it doesn't matter who it is, but I really don't like chatting on the phone. The only person I talk to on the phone with any regularity is my husband. He calls me throughout the day when he's on break and we call each other when one of us is out and the other is home, but I don't really like calling anyone else.

I'm actually glad I'm not alone! I do feel a little better about calling my friends now. Still nervous, but I feel better. And I have to wonder if the reason one of them hasn't called me - if he's a phonephobe, too!

Although he's always on the phone for work...maybe it's different when it's work.
