If it is that important.....I will leave you a message!

Let me just apologize, one: at the tone of this post (sometimes people can come across seriously witchy when they vent about things on their blog and I have a feeling that is how this post is going to sound. In actuality I am not that upset, this is all very tongue-in-cheek but it is something that I don't understand.), and two: the fact that I have been post happy lately (I don't know why and I promise to calm down a bit). But, as I have been laying in bed at 4:30 in the morning frustratingly not being able to sleep for some unknown reason, I started to think back to the phone call I had earlier today. Dustin and I were talking about this last night and he doesn't find this the least bit annoying, so maybe I am alone in this, but either way I am venting about it.

So have you ever mis-dialed a phone number? Okay, I know the answer to that one from everyone reading this. Then as you are either in the middle of it ringing OR when the answering machine picks up of the unintended recipient of the phone call, you hang up realizing now that you have obviously mis-dialed the phone number? So this is what I did today as I have done other times in the past. What I don't understand is when you get a call back from the unintended recipient. WHAT IS THAT? Are you just that curious and think that you are that important that you can't just deal with the fact that a random number called your phone and didn't leave you a message? Let's think about this for a minute. I am a big believer that if the phone call is really important then that caller will leave you a message! If your doctor is calling to tell you if you have cancer or not......message, at least to call him back. If the police are calling to tell you they found your long lost daughter.....message. If your friend is calling to tell you that they have awesome concert tickets....message. If the President of the United States is calling to appoint you as Secretary of State......SOMEONE is going to leave you a message. If you have an extremely important business deal going through......I have a feeling they will leave you a message. If your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend is calling to get back together with you.....most likely message. If your current boyfriend of girlfriend is calling to break up with you.....probably not a message.....but that is not a message you want to get on your voicemail anyway. Even the public library will leave you a message if you have an overdue book so just LET IT GO!

Then there are those that randomly call and claim to have received a call from this number even though you have no idea what they are talking about. To which you politely try to tell them that, "I am sorry but no one from this number called you." Well of course they don't believe you and they are way to important to just get a wrong number calling them. So they insist that there must be someone there are that number that called them because they have this number on their caller id. Now I know that they are probably not aware that they called a house that only contains me and three little girls but seriously? If it was that important someone would have left you a message! You try to explain to them again that there is NO ONE at this number that dialed them intentionally but they end up getting annoyed and you can tell they don't believe you anyway and are very very concerned over this random phone call of which no one left a message.

Haven't we all gotten a phone call from a random number and not gotten a message attached?Now I will say that this can also be annoying, especially when you are screening calls (don't deny doing it.) But I guess it is just a little easier for some of us to come to terms with.

Anyway, just typing for no reason so early in the morning. Maybe it is the roid rage going on inside that is making me so irritated (see previous post) but just wanted to get it out there for anyone with the internet to read. Hopefully someone that has this tendency will read this and possibly, just possibly think twice about saving their phone bill to call back people that actually want to talk to them.
