Next time you get a *Click* please don’t tell me “hold on a second, I have a Click”, because I will hang up on you. I am not interested in spacing out and waiting five minutes while you are having a conversation with the person who clicked in. If their phone call is more important, no problem- Just call me back when your finished.
Also annoying when u answer the phone and the person who called you is in mid conversation with someone at their location , when u dial the phone commit to the person whom u are calling.
Personally, I don’t mind holding if it’s really just a few seconds. When I get a click, I usually take it and notify the person that I’m on the other line and I’ll be happy to call them back as soon as I hang up. The reason for this is simply because when I need to get through to someone and nobody picks up, it can get quite frustrating – this way, the caller understands the situation and (hopefully) nobody is hurt
hang up and they will call back. half the times the other side forgets they were even speaking with someone beforehand.
Agreed.
Hold on a minute – I’ll comment on that when I get back.
Work on your patience and ego!
Nothing wrong to wait a minute- doesn’t mean the other person is more important than you.
But that’s only for a minute. After that it’s ok to hang up.
Will do
RB Why dont you do what I do? Simply hang up and call right back. Chances are they will often then take my click and then I continue the conversation as if nothing had happened… And next time they wont take someone else’s click, cause they will have taken the subtle hint!!!
K- I’m back. Oh wait! Hold on again.
RB- are you serious? Why is it rude? Do you seriously think you are most important?
Nothing wrong in taking the beep and letting the other caller hold for a few seconds. More than that is rude, yes.
Very funny Gefen!
What about people picking up cell phones when they’re in middle of talking to someone. I was at a business show at one booth the presenter got a call in middle of showing us off his service. I couldn’t believe it but he took the call. It was most probably an emergency just like the one who takes the call in middle of shemona esrei. Uh hu nu im nu
I will not answer the click if I am talking to my parents, in-laws, child’s teacher etc. Likewise, I will only pick up a click if it is from one of the above or someone I do need to speak to right away. The only other time I will answere a click is if I am talking with a chatty friend and need an excuse to hang up :). Most people today “get it” that if the phone rings 4 or 5 times and there is no answer, or even a machine, then the person you are calling is on the phone and the caller will try again later.
RB, You’re asking why I put you on hold? Simple. You’re harassing me about the $200,000 I said I’ll pay you back last week. Any interruption welcome.
Hold on a minute – I’ll comment on that when I get back.
K- I’m back. Oh wait! Hold on again.
Gefen LOL. Keep it up – it suits you.
I hate it when my kids friends call. They are from an instant generation (that WE raised and educated) who need what they want right away or sooner. They email then go crazy after 3 minutes if there’s no reply when we as kids used to mail letters and wait weeks for a response.
Please tell me if this sounds familiar: …so there I am on the (malafa) phone which I do very occasionally because it is not usually available, (yeah, that’s another parsha) and there’s a click. I see its a friend of one of my kids who they have just been a whole day with and been on the phone already 5 times since. So I ignore it as I am on an important call. Do they get the hint? No siree. They call again and again and again and again and again. It is so annoying. And when I’m off the phone, my daughter calls them back. They say “oh do you know your phone is broken, the clicks do not work”!!!
Goq – thanks!
Shticky – what do you mean it suits me? i’m not sure if that’s and insult or a compliment. đ
There are a lot of rude people around – but i don’t think they even realize it. i once heard/read a story about someone who was on line at a grocery store yacking away on her cell phone. when the cashier tried to tell her how much she owed, the lady replied angrily “can’t you see i’m on the phone?” the poor cashier was trying to keep the line moving and this lady saw nothing wrong with having a phone conversation!
oops – there’s that call waiting – gotta go! ttyl
someone was once saying that girls like to talk to 2 people- when they are on the phone and to someone else cause it makes them feel popular but the guys hate when the wives do it to them!
my friends and i have an agreement. if one of us takes a click and is gone longer than 1 minute, we have the right to hang up and the person will call back when done. it saves frustration and we can do s/t productive in the meantime. best part? because we have the agreement, if we do hang up there are no hard feelings. its win win
I have never heard it referred to as a “click” before. I guess things change over 8 years.
Captainâ˘
Captain,
What do you refer it as? A beep?
Don’t tell me you’re on hold for the past 8 years!!!
Gosh!!!
I changed three user names since then… you probably won’t remember then one you called!!!
