I hung up the phone on Blue-Jay today. Does that make me a bad person?

10. No cops, please
I don't want my image shown on Fox. Besides, my hair is too short for curlers and it's too cold for Jason to wear his ripped T-shirt.

13. And wasn't it wonderful?????
I should bring the fierce triplets with me...but they are too young for a bar at age 4. They will be here tomorrow. :D

Even though they were here last Saturday (and usually visit us every 2 weeks), they started complaining that they wanted to visit Aunt greatauntoftriplets again.... And two weeks was too long! So, their mother is humoring them.

16. It would be cool to see them
Though it gets kind of smoky in that place, so you're probably right in deciding not to bring them. :-(

4. Susang hangs up the phone on me all the time.
No matter who I'm talking to.

As long as you don't beat him afterwards, you're okay.

18. Doesn't one always "hang up" the phone after a call?
Or was this a midsetence, still talking type of hangup?

19. Hmm...
I guess you do have a point there.

I will admit that he was still talking when I clicked down on the receiver.

22. oh my...
;-)

Am hoping that due to the long delay in my reply (including a good nights sleep and some strong morning java during my haitus from the thread), that between these posts that you have ...er... come to some kind of resolution per what led to the live talking kind of hang up situation.

Btw, while I haven't done it often - I have had to do the hangup thing... rudeness is all related to the context of the call.

20. I've banged down the phone on my lawfully-wedded spouse many times
I doubt that's what qualifies me for badness.

21. hell no
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 11:53 PM by Donailin
my brother hung up on me the other night and he's at the south pole (mcmurdo station) with no phone number to call so I sent him an email calling him an asshole.

It's all good.

23. Shit happens.
Now, when you put your shoes on and say "I'm leaving. I don't NEED this shit!" it might be trouble.

25. I was just screwing around last night
I was at work and my boss was starting to look at me because I was on the phone too long. It's all good. :-)

BTW, Jason had me bring that book home from the library and he's reading it now.

26. It *IS* all good!

Bet you can hardly tear Blue-Jay away from that book. It sucks, though, when the boss starts staring at you or worse, stands in the entryway to your cube while you're on the blower....

Have him check out the writings of Michael Shermer, former ultra-marathon bike racer. His description of his "Alien Abduction" is a scream (it was his support crew on a RAAM)

Meanwile, at the Dr. Frankenbike lab, I created another one. I'll post pix later after I take some. It's a long-haul machine in the style of the Japanese "Pass-Hunter" bikes.

24. I've wanted to hang up on him about 20 times.
And I've only spoken to him on the phone twice.

It doesn't make you a bad person. It's a completely normal reaction. ;)
