Ring…ring…
Posted by Nit under Rambles
The phone rang while I was in bathroom this morning. Poor Wari who was still sleeping had to get up to answer the call. It stopped ringing just as he was about to reach the phone. Thinking it was a wrong number, he almost fell asleep again when the phone rang once more. This time, the phone rang two times before the person on the other end hung up. It rang again the third time, two rings and stop. Frustrated, he waited for it to ring again and quickly picked the phone up. It was my sister-in-law (my brother’s wife). When asked why she called in such a manner, her excuse was that if the person did not answer within two rings, it could mean that the phone is spoilt or the other party is on another line. Something is wrong with her. Who in the right mind would call, wait for two rings, hang up and call again repetitively? Hmm…

That would be so annoying. Almost as annoying as telemarketers.

Telemarketeers are so irritating, especially those who simply read from their script without pausing for you to respond. If it so happen that I’m in a bad mood, I’d just hang the phone up on them.
