It's not my fault that cell phones don't have away messages!
Intro: Get a phone call from a friend at around 2:30. Was in the shitter (not that I'm going to tell him that.. lol) so I didn't answer. I knew he had work at 3, and I hate it when people call me at work so I just let it go. He goes home at lunch and signs on AIM.. following conversation ensues.

Spifferific = me

friend (6:17:55 PM): thanks for answering the phone i appreciate it
spifferific (6:18:35 PM): You really need to get over that. [he wigs out like this all the time] I don't answer my phone every time someone calls. It's called not feeling like talking. It's normal.
friend (6:18:58 PM): at least you could text? [and why couldn't HE text me and ask say what he needed to?]
friend (6:19:09 PM): or answer and say hey what do you need i dont feel like talking
friend (6:19:36 PM): not just not answer the phone
friend (6:19:40 PM): i mean what if it was a emergency
spifferific (6:19:51 PM): What could i possibly do for you in an emergency?
boy (6:19:56 PM): call for help

CALL FOR HELP!?! wtf. I don't drive. There is NOTHING I could do for him in an emergency. I don't know any of his friends, or his family.. so it's not like I could get in touch with them. So.. WHY would he call ME in an emergency? Instead of calling for help HIMSELF?

friend (6:20:24 PM): and the reason i called is because were suppose to be friends
friend (6:20:30 PM): i bet if angela called you would answer [Angela is my ex-girlfriend, and we're still pretty close. And no, I don't always answer for her EITHER]
friend (6:20:34 PM): thats messed up

What's wrong with just not wanting to talk? Why are people INSULTED nowadays when someone doesn't answer their phone? or call them back within 10 minutes? ESPECIALLY if they don't leave a voice mail.

If you don't leave a voice mail or even send a text saying "hey call when you get a chance"... I assume it's not anything important, and therefore won't call you back if I am not in the mood.

Am I really that horrible of a person for having this outlook?

p.s. This was originally posted in my postwhore thread, then expanded for a full rant at xmike, then revised for here. :D

This is exactly why I don't give my number to people, lmao. The people I have given it too are texters, and don't flip out if I don't respond right away, or at all. The only people I answer without question when they call is my parents or Eric. I usually let everything else go to voice mail, including work calls, haha. I hate the phone, but quite honestly I could not live without my cell phone. I could if I had friends like yours though. Ugh.
