What i hate and this boils down to a pet peeve in general (persistance) but when it's the SAME calls ALL the fucking time, when i was in school i had a couple friends who were so damn eager to talk to you that when you had first stepped in the door after getting home your phone would ring...no fucking time to even breathe or take a shit that's when i tell people to fuck off and stop calling.

I really hate the phone in general though... i mostly only use it for planning with my best bud or if i have to get a hold of someone people who seem to be computer illiterate and don't have some way of text-based communication. Also, getting me to order pizza is always a chore i just won't do it.

Had an ex-gf that i used to always talk on the phone with needless to say there are many reasons why she's now my fucking nemesis but everytime the phone rings it makes me cringe because it reminds me of how much she used to call me... it's like a reflex based on a traumatic experience. Do. Not. Like. It!

i hate talking on the phone and that's a big part of my responsibilities at work. It sucks. I hate when people ask me things I don't know the answers to although I inevitably make them up. I hate parents/students who keep me on the phone for more than a few minutes.

I don't really like talking to my friends on the phone either. I'm a talker but I hate when I'm trapped on the phone with someone who talks just to hear the sound of their voice. I hate when there's no type of conversation going on. It's like, really? You just spent 45 minutes telling me one story 5 different times?? Or is it necessary that you need to tell me about your trip to Wal Mart?


I try to keep phone conversations direct and to the point.

Phones were one of the only things I had no remorse for destroying. I used to have a phone graveyard.

I actually bought a Blackberry because I knew I wouldn't break it. Only because it could do other things than be annoying.

I'm pretty much at the point where I hate any form of digital communication.

Why? People don't communicate anymore. I just deactivated my Facebook account for that reason.

You're lucky to keep a persons attention for more than a few seconds before they fuck off randomly mid conversation.

I can't think of many points in a real social situation where a person would just walk off mid sentence or get up from the middle of dinner and leave to do something else.

Should the internet or phone conversations be any different?

I'm going to stop here before I deviate anymore. But I really, really fucking hate phones for every reason I stated and every reason everybody before me stated.

I intend to force people into social situations if they want anything from me anymore hah.

As said in the initial post, we're growing apart as a society.

There's nothing worse when you don't know how to end a call either... you know when so and so keeps you on the phone long enough to end up at the point of just hearing each other breathe and there's nothing more to say yet they don't want to let you go and you can't think of something polite to say to end the call or you don't have it in you to just hang up, heaven forbid you do and they call back only expecting more of the same.

Now those are situations that make me very uncomfortable to be using a phone hence adding more fuel to the fire of despising them.

I don't talk to my family on the phone anymore. We just email each other now. Plus I hate my phone company so I try to use my phone as little as possible. They make you think everything is included, but then you find out it's not after you signed the stupid contract.
