I have some
friends who call me on the
telephone.
They start out by
saying a few interesting things, but the
conversation quickly
dissolves into him
narrating his actions on the computer,
conversing with a video game, or generally ignoring the fact that he is on the phone.
This is fine, I can always
say "bye" and hang up, but when I do he tries to
say a few more interesting things.
But I know if I
submit he will
realize victory and return to
narrating his actions on the computer or
conversing with a video game.
It isnt just me. In fact I only noticed it
subconciously until another friend of mine spoke up about it.
If you call someone, have something to say.
If they try to hang up, let them.
And remember, no one wants to hear you
narrating your actions on the computer or
conversing with a video game.
Dammit, Talk to ME not the COMPUTER
