CCAMP: How to Rid Yourself of Discourteous Phone Calls in the Morning
this entry brought to you by radiohead, "paperbag writer"
"Hi! You've reached 983-756--"
*BUSY SIGNAL*
"Hi! You've reached--"
*BUSY SIGNAL*
...Hello....?
Yeah, hey babe! I miss yoouuuuuuu! What's up? Did I wake you?
-----
THIS SCENARIO MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU.
Now, let's examine the wrong way to go about this.
-----
...Yeah... Yeah, you woke me up. *coughs*
Oh. I'm sorry. Should I let you go?
*yawn* No, no... It's okay... What's up?
Oh, nothing much. Just hanging around. Watching TV. There was this dog up for adoption on the news. It was so adorable.
-----
DID YOU SEE WHAT WENT WRONG HERE? You heard from the tone of your friend's voice that they woke you up for nothing but bullshit, and yet, knowing this, you allowed the phone call to continue. And wouldn't you know it? They didn't want anything but bullshit. Now, let's examine the right way to handle this.
-----
What the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking moron? What the hell time is it?
I'm sorry. It's, uh... 6:45.
6:45?? What the fuck is wrong with you? When am I ever up at 6:45 in the morning on my goddamn day off? Fucking Christ you are stupid!
I'm sorry... I'll... I'll let you go...
You're goddamned right you'll let me go! By the way, go fuck yourself. Idiot. *click*
-----
DO YOU SEE HOW THIS WAS HANDLED? This impolite friend has now learned a valuable lesson... Just because they are up does not mean you are up neccesarily, and this person should call back at a more reasonable hour. For example, 10 o' clock would be a reasonable time for a casual call. Swearing with hostility will help emphasize this matter. You can be sure that this person will not make this mistake again.
