View Full Version : Answer Phones...
NoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
At best, I never really like speaking to people on the phone but can generally warm up into it.
Answer phones though... I just HATE leaving messages. HATE HATE HATE it! Normally I don't and I just wait and call again later (especially in the nature of my business.. leave a message and people forget to call back/call back a month later).
Anyway.
Just rung up my printer (a middle aged friendly chap) and he always gets back to me pronto when I leave messages. I just made a complete TWIT of myself though:
Stupid Plank Me: "Hey hey Johno, it's just me! Just giving you a quick call about our most recent order! If you're able to call back when you can that would be cool! Hoping you're good, lots of love, Clare" *hang up*
LOTS OF LOVE?!?! LOOOTS OF LOOVE?!?!!?

After ramming my leg at him with my sexy Christmas socks on whilst being precariously wrapped in my dodgy mac looking jacket and peering through the gap in the front door... this is just not going to look good at all :(

Pheebs and the printer sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! :p
You may find your printing prices suddenly decrease :)
At least you didn't end it with "i want you bath water"
I want you bath water?!
lol!
He's just called. I didn't know whether to say anything or not so I just stumbled through my questions and hastily got off the phone.
Seriously. I feel like such a moo bag.
But! Earlier today I answered the phone "Kentucky Fried Chicken, how can I help?!" and it was my Ma! She was like "Oh... oh sorry wrong number", hung up and rang back through! I was lolling muchly! I love doing that ;D
Lies. You love leaving answer phone messages - especially at stupid o'lcok in the ****ing morning!!!! :p ;) ;D ;D Especially singing and saying "BOUUUUUURGIGNIONNNNNNNNN". ;D ;D

I don't! You don't understand!! I hate leaving answer phone messages!
It's just occurred to me.
You must be speaking about Drunken Pheebs. Drunken Pheebs and I are not the same being. I will pass on the distress I have noted in your message about the lateness of phone calls and ask her to adjust call out times accordingly.
:p
Oh no missy, you're not getting out of that one so easily!! Besides I don't mind receiving the calls, it gives me something to giggle about in the morning! :D I won't accept that schizophrenia excuse! :p You loooooove leaving answer phone messages. I bet you you said 10x more than that and it lasted at least 2-3mins, and there was a bit of singing and giggling.
You are an answerphone-aholic, admit it!!!

One my old jobs we had to leave messages, but my mate Pringle used to often end the message "thank you for calling" or ask them a question and wait for an answer ;D

I am ****e at dealing with answer phones myself, more so if they take me by surprise, everything i wanted to talk about initially on the phone just leaves my head and i automatically sound retarded. Answer phones are just evil :p
I got one a while back that was just Pheebs making silly clicking noises and talking to herself. Either she accidentally rang me and didn't realise, or she has actually lost the plot.

To lose the plot I think you have it have it to start with, not something I'm sure Pheebs can say :D

Not sure Pheebs even read the script...
that monkey picture makes me think of Pheebs and laugh, every time.
I remember sending her a link to a photo of a "banjo string" and I had that image in my head of what she would be like ;D She then reminded me she uses her really big TV as a monitor so the pic was massive ;D ;D She did ask what we meant by banjo string :evil:
I remember the horror that Pheebs felt after seeing that pic! When I found a less graphic picture it took aaages to convince her that it was ok to open.
:p
You're all so lovely to me! That Banjo string piccie Sam! I had forgotten about that until now!! :confused: It was almost as bad as Belmits goaty vs goatsee picture (he sent me TWICE. Once to Drunken Pheebs and another to Sober Pheebs who had completely forgot about the media message so opened it without hesitation!! :'()
Belmit - Reference the clicking call, I guess I muddled up your name with Flippers.
Drunken Pheebs does seem to have a set list of people to call when she's around, until she finishes the last drop in the port bottle, thus reaching the point of *mash the phone keypad and then sing into it*. I guess Drunken Pheebs has a lot of love to spread in song.
I know so far:
Will = Must call and sing Bourguignon to.
Belmit = Must call and sing something to and then demand he sings the Bodyform advert back to me (which his Dad wrote and sung).
Pebby = You are my sunshine song friend.
Sam = Send a text to tell her I heart her.
Piggy = Resolve any confusing debate I am having (this is drunk or sober actually). Also to inform her of anything stinky Picky may have done.
I have another friend which requires Dominic the Donkey song to be sung and another one I have to sing Sweet Home Alabama to but make up the lyrics. I think the above have been "the chosen ones" as they stupidly answered their phones the first time I called them :p
It's just a natural organised flow of destruction :)
It's like Pebs is with Cheese as I R with singing. It just goes :p
BUT! Sober Pheebs, as in I right now, HATES answer phones :p Kittens and LD seem to understand what I experience. I just never know what to say and before I know it I've spewed out a random string of words that makes no sense. :(
I've had picky ones and tapioca ones and song in text form ones too ;D

I can't even remember the last song Pheebs serenaded me with, although maybe Stan does... the wonder of loud speaker ;D
