[QUOTE="keista, post: 434204, member: 11965"] Telephone manners????? First time I dealt with this phenomena was when a friend who I was helping "get back on her feet" started going by the wayside..again. Apparently she'd call her "friend" and not tell me so when they returned her call from caller ID that's exactly the conversation I got. She claimed it was one of 3 different friends she was calling for whatever. It wasn't until I started checking the phone records (I had Vonage at the time and got a log of all incoming as well as outgoing calls) that I noticed that these 3 'friends' #s changed every month - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm who uses disposable cell phones? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Anyway, could be that she's calling from your house - not just giving out the # - and they call back from caller id so they have no clue who they are supposed to be talking to, but still, I've done that and I identify who I am and why I'm calling someone randomly - yeah, I have some manners. lol BUT I also noticed a general lack of phone manners with teens these days. Even my neighbor - 19 y/o girl - will call me and just start talking. If she called from her own phone it wouldn't be that big a deal due to caller id, but she's always borrowing phones to call and just starts talking. Ahhhhhhhh kids these days! [/QUOTE]
