i constantly screen calls, even if they are friends, sometimes i am simply not in the mood to chat....usually i will make up an excuse like i was in the bathroom or in a high level meeting via text...hopefully i haven't offended anyone, it was more my mood than not wanting to talk to them specifically

 

I texted you over a week ago and you never responded!

High level business meeting ???

 

 When I'm in a high level business meeting, I simply text:

HLBM

 

They seem to understand that, although initially, the last two letters caused some confusion.

 

When I'm in a very high level business meeting I have to turn my phone off because, well, the meeting is just to high level.

If you had the meeting on the first floor you would not be in very high level meeting. ?

Once I called my wife and she screened my call and hit decline.

She was at the park with my kid, I pulled up in my car, saw her and called.  Saw her ignore it.  I was about to go home and pack her bags.

Ironic that you had a family vacation planned for that exact day.

I only answer the phone if it's a sibling or parent.  text me otherwise. 

 

I did exclude the wife there.   She always sends that "I'm out of work" feeler text, if i respond right away she calls me.   if not she knows i'm doing something around the house.

It's nothing personal.  I screen all my calls.  I have to, since well over half of them are autodialers, and the other half my family, and I don't want to talk to my family...

 

This is exactly right.  I would only add that I don't want to talk to my friends either.  I'll talk to you when we are face to face.  Otherwise, text or email me.

Maybe they were somewhere that they couldn’t pick up the call, like in a public bathroom. 

 

I would MUCH prefer that they NOT pick up the phone. Guys having conversations from Inside their stall is.....just not right. 

 

 

But I’ll text all day long from the can.   ?

 

 

Guess where I am right now!

Now is the time to communicate with Boyst. Dropping a load while your fingers are doing the talking is productive multi-tasking. Versatility is a valued attribute whether you are a city slicker or live on a farm. ?

Well, I was actually between stages of making my salmon cakes for dinner in the kitchen. 

 

 

This time.

Says the guy having all the fun!  ?

 

But if you look at this stuff in any other way, you’re just doing life wrong. 

 

This hurt my feelings.  And you have been reported accordingly.

I find it funny.

 

I know, that’s what the chubby kid always says when nobody will let him sit at their lunch table. Don’t let that bully take advantage of you! @Gugny should also be reported!
