    People who send you an email and tell you to call them. WTH is up with that? If you want to talk to me on the phone pick it up and dial the numbers! :throw:

    there are many variations of this and they're all equally annoying, right?

    texting to ask if you got my email/voicemail
    call to ask if you got their email/text
    email to ask if you got heir text/voicemail
    hollering throughout the house asking if you got my text/call

    we have a particular salesman who will call ya and say 'are you busy? do you have a minute?'

    me - 'no, I have a minute for ya...'

    salesman - 'ok great!' - click, click, click - 'ok, Joe, Fred and Sam, I've got us all conferenced in with Marty. He should be able to help you with your problem...'

    /sigh

    He found 122 sheds in one day...

    I hate it when I text someone and they immediately call me. If I wanted to talk to you on the phone or was at a place where I could talk... I would have called you.

    I did that to you but the only reason I did that was because I wasn't busy and wanted you to call when you were free

    That would be me to some extent. I have my work phone which isn't a smart phone. Texting sucks on it. I can't see getting another phone just so I can text easier... so... I will call if you bombard me with lots of texts and my fingers get tired.

    The good thing about not having a smart phone... you don't have to worry about getting ugly selfies from me or d*ck pictures. :lol:

    I really shouldn't be complaining because it comes with the job. But as a contractor it's frustrating when customers call on Friday morning and ask to meet on Saturday morning when you already have plans to fish with your daughter. Rock and a hard place.

    Best part in that situation is when you show and they don't.

    Funny you say that, I'm sitting here right now waiting for them. So far they are 30 minutes late and not answering their phone
