Telephone etiquette

[Poohbear]

I hate the ones that talk real low and won't look you in the eye.

Man, the younger generations can't fathom the concept of my office phone being a landline and being unable to send texts to it. Blows their minds.

Want to see their brain stop working, Tell them about a party line, phone booth, or a phone bank at a hotel or airport and see how they process that.

after they regain consciousness, invite them to lunch that only accepts cash and let them drive a manual transmission. It’s doesn’t get any better than that.

I'm with you about people speaking like auctioneers with an accent but am I the only one that gets messages saying "call me" then when I call they ask for an invoice # or something that requires me going to my files? Naturally they don't want to hold while I look the info up but don't understand why they should have said what they wanted in message so I could look it up before calling.
