They're only cleanmouthed when their families are visiting (which is rarely).<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling most of them would punch the script up. "Might I suggest a liberal use of the word 'dickhole' in this paragraph. Also, you could probably show your anger more effectively by peppering sentences eight and nine with the word 'shitbird'."<BR/><BR/>Ah, I'm going to miss the old c*ntbags.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785169158901302854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-6777548978908029142007-05-04T14:18:00.000-04:002007-05-04T14:18:00.000-04:00Phonophobes of the world unite!

I'm checking ebay.<BR/><BR/>And Jon, your hypothetical "scenario" sounds eerily realistic... have you been forcing the elderly residents of your job to do your drunk dialing. If not, will you... and will you record it?crabbydadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260962961528954245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-30050120796804786692007-05-04T13:45:00.000-04:002007-05-04T13:45:00.000-04:00Okay, hiring a child to drunk dial is one of the f...Okay, hiring a child to drunk dial is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.<BR/><BR/>I imagine the kid being all groggy because it's 3am and their bedtime is 8pm. Drunk person in the background, whispering shit for the kid to say.<BR/><BR/>Drunk: "Tell him he's a real fucker and I'm better off without him."<BR/><BR/>Child (to drunk): "My mommy says I can't say that word. It's bad and it makes God sad."<BR/><BR/>Drunk: "Say it!"<BR/><BR/>Child: "I don't want to get in trouble."<BR/><BR/>Drunk: "SAY IT!"<BR/><BR/>Child: "Can't I just say 'Poopy Head' instead?"<BR/><BR/>Drunk: "No. It doesn't have the same effect."<BR/><BR/>Child (into phone): "The lady here wants me to use the f word and I'm scared."Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785169158901302854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-19656011705580815372007-05-04T13:25:00.000-04:002007-05-04T13:25:00.000-04:00I'm in on the phone phobia list also.

We have 450 volunteers most of them over 60 years old -- and not e-mailers. <BR/>It also makes writing about musicians hard. Phone interviews freak me out so much that I can't take sensible notes. <BR/><BR/>Thank God for voicemail, e-mail, text messages and sticky notes. <BR/>I think I'm the only person I know that has never 'drunk dialed.'<BR/><BR/>Is Mr. Z for hire (not for drunk dialing, but the other stuff)?nora leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060931365847924819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-51540889164934227112007-05-04T11:39:00.000-04:002007-05-04T11:39:00.000-04:00Okay, I hate the phone more than anyone on the pla...Okay, I hate the phone more than anyone on the planet. I don't like answering it and I don't like calling people on it. Now that we have email, shouldn't we be ditching the phone entirely?<BR/><BR/>Whenever I do have to call someone, I pray I get voicemail. In fact, sometimes I call at a time when I know that I'll get voicemail.<BR/><BR/>I like my cell phone because I can text message people instead of calling them.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785169158901302854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-87753955313533729652007-05-04T11:36:00.000-04:002007-05-04T11:36:00.000-04:00I can attest to Shannon's phone phobia.I can attest to Shannon's phone phobia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10130250.post-46315003225724662582007-05-04T07:37:00.000-04:002007-05-04T07:37:00.000-04:00Hey, you're not alone.

Even my hair stylist takes appointments by email now. The trait is apparently genetic, at least in my family, because none of us like to talk on the phone. It has made us a rather cold and distant family, but I guess that's better than calling one of them up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
