The Phone Poll (Jenny Jenny 867-5309)

I love this thread! I loved that song too. It must be the most popular phone number in the world.

I log lots and lots of hours on the phone. I have spent up to 28 hours on the phone. Plenty of time I have to switch between my cordless and my cell..each twice...

I can talk to my best friend forever AFTER we have spent all day together. We have a lot of important things to discuss. lol.

I cannot even tell you how many people have sung this song to me over the years...

SuperFemme · 05-26-2010, 05:02 PM

It depends on how sick I am that day.

I strongly dislike yappin on the phone. After about 5 mins if there isnt something to say I would prefer not to hang on and make things up. If I pick up the phone it is because I have something to say or ask.

As I have gotten older yappin on the phone is almost painful. I suppose that is because of years of IT service calls coupled by past years of long distance relationships.

Now that we have Skype, and webcam capabilities. I prefer to use that method of communication over the phone. Mostly because I can see your facial expressions when I ask if you are naked.

Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!

I had to choose other because it really depends on the conversation we're having.
In general because of my hearing, unless the person speaks clearly,
I don't stay on a phone...so, I must have something to talk about.
If I'm talkative, stay with me because it's a rarity
and I must have something to get off my mind.

Most of my phone calls are long distance: really close friends that I spend about an hour talking to every couple of months. In between we email each other.

My local friends I either see in person or IM. If I talk to them on the phone it's for something really specific, like making plans for one thing or another.

Funny how things change. I used to spend HOURS on the phone!

I'm not much for phone conversations. I say what I have to say and hang up. However OMG if my best friend calls, well just so you know I walked the mall for over an hour one time listening to her gab and all I said was an occasional umm yeah, ok, I know. I was shopping with Mom and she said does that woman ever shut up? LOL She could talk the horns off a billy goat. Thing is she has a brain injury and tells me the same thing over and over. Even if I say umm yeah ya told me that she continues on with her story like she never heard me say that. LOL but I gotta love her.....
