I have to be in the mood. If I'm not, I won't even pick it up. Some days, I talk for hours, and then I can go for days on end without being on the phone.

It depends on my mood as well, and sometimes I find it easier to talk to certain people on the phone as opposed to others (my best friend, for example). That is when I don't mind being on the phone for a long time :)

Depends on how i feel that day for me. But when i do, i keep it short and brief.

ew, no. I hate the phone so much.

No. I hate it. I hate calling, I hate answering, I hate holding the phone to my ear...etc. Phones are a necessary evil.

Text messaging is good though.

I don't really mind it unless it's a very long call. That can get irritating.

It depends on my mood as well and who I will talk too.

I've never been big on conversing over the telephone. I carry my cell phone with me at all times, but I only use it when necessary. I never could understand this incessant need many people have to chatter endlessly on their cell phones while out in public... :crazy:

I'm on the phone all day for my job. I hate the phone.:lol:

No, I hate talking on the phone.

No, I hate it. I easily run out of things to say.

No. I hate it. I hate calling, I hate answering, I hate holding the phone to my ear...etc. Phones are a necessary evil.

So definitely not, right? ;)

Not very much. I would much rather talk with people in person than over a phone. After a while, it just seems hypnotic while talking over the phone for an extended period of time. Mostly holding the phone to my ear (I can't lean my phone to my shoulder and walk around like other people can do), so my hand gets tired. And, I can't switch over my phone to my left ear. My left eye and my left ear are weaker senses than the right respective sides. That, and I have a difficult time hearing most people over the phone, so I hate to say, "What was that?" or "I'm sorry, but can you repeat that?" many times. There is only person (the guy I like) who, miraculously enough, I don't have much of a hard time hearing over the phone or when we talk in person. Coincidence? A sign?

I have a friend who can talk for a long time over the phone, but I get tired easily. This guy I knew didn't have his own phone, so he'd call me when it was quiet and boring at his job. He could talk a long time, but I would also easily get tired. I have a difficult time ending conversations politely. I let it go for a while until I finally decide I've had enough and then think of an excuse! :lol:

i'd much rather send emails

i'd much rather send emails
yep, me too. Myspace or in person.

I LOVE talking on the phone. I'm a huge phone talker. It's so funny this topic was started because I had the longest phone conversation of my life on Saturday night. My friend and I talked for 6 hours and 45 minutes from 9:30pm - 4:15am. And Last night I was on the phone for more than 4 hours talking to 7 different people. (My four closests friends, my girlfriend, my dad, and my grandma). So the phone is great. Much better than IM or e-mail although in-person is still better.

If it's someone I know...but I don't like call people really. And, I have really bad hearing, so that doesn't help. Then again, I'm horrible at determing tone over the internet, so phone helps in that regard.

if i'm drunk. i normally cant stand it.

With certain people, I always enjoy talking on the phone, but with most others, I can't stand it. Caller I'D is one of the greatest inventions ever created!!

LOL BRAD where does that sig come from? :rotflmao:

sometimes...depends on who i'm talking to.

Same here; it depends on who I'm talking to and the subject of the conversation. Some of my friends, I can talk to for a long time and others, very short and sweet. I've never been much of a talker on the phone;
I prefer talking to people in person (one on one). :wave:

Noooooooooooooo! :lol:

LOL BRAD where does that sig come from? :rotflmao:

I'm glad you like it. :lol: I've been looking at the drooling emoticon for years, and he's always just looked more like he's in pain to me, then he is hungry, so I just came up with that. He looks like he's so full of crap, that his bodily functions are coming out the wrong end. LOL!! Like I said in another post, I never know whether I should post the drooling emoticon when I'm hungry, or when I have to take a dump. :lol:

Ah ok LOL Get the poor guy some prune juice! LOL *puts in movie script)*

I haven't had any long phone conversations in a while.

Depends on who the person calling is lol.

I prefer e-mails or texts.

So definitely not, right? ;)
:lol: Pretty much.

My friend and I talked for 6 hours and 45 minutes from 9:30pm - 4:15am.

That's intense! My record is somewhere around 4 hours.
Love the phone, much better than IM/email. I get annoyed online because sometimes it's impossible to read tone.

I'm mostly indifferent about it, but it depends. Sometimes I'll receive an unexpected phone call from a friend and it makes my day, or I'll call someone and we have a short, meaningful conversation. I seldom stay on the phone for very long conversations.

i dont really like to talk on the phone too much i would much rather see them in person or e mail them

if i'm drunk. i normally cant stand it.
lol ditto

Not so much. My friends always get really mad because I never answer my phone. I never call anyone, they always call me.

if i'm drunk. i normally cant stand it.

haha ditto. drunk dials are now a regular thing. I normally never have anything interesting enough to say, but when I've been drinking, anything spills out. :lol: that can also be a bad thing, tho.

Anyone ever had the experience where you keep telling someone you have to get off the phone, but no matter how much you tell them that, they totally ignore you, and just keep jabbering on, and on, and on anyway? I've actually had this happen to me to the point where I'd have to pretend to keep falling asleep on them, just to get them to let me go. LOL!! Even then, sometimes they wouldn't want to let me go. They'd rather talk to me while asleep, then hang up the damn phone!!:mad: :lol:

Usually yes, but it really depends on circumstances for me.

Never, unless I'm placing a bet.

The whole time it was a great conversation, too. And talking online does suck. I absolutely HATE talking to some people just for that exact reason of tone. But there is one of my friends, Kim, who can telll exacty what I mean and how I mean it online becuse she knows me so well.

I Love talking on the phone

No, I hate using the phone. I don't even own a cell phone. I'd much rather send an e-mail.

I don't like to talk on the phone. I'd rather see the person face to face, or at least write to them or communicate via the Internet.

no, as i prefer talking and conversing with people in person or via email and the internet. i only use my mobile/cell phone when i really have to. particularly if the person's email doesn't work and he/she aren't available to talk to in person.

my sister on the other hand spends like hours every day on her cell phone

I got Vonage Phone so I have free Long Distance

A couple of years ago I could just talk and talk on the phone to friends. But after my bestfriend was killed, I don't get into that mood anymore. So it all depends on if I'm really in the mood to sit and talk for a long time.

depends on who it is

When I was a teen ager I would talk for hours at a time, now I do good to talk for 5 minutes at a time. lol!

It's not that I don't like talking on the phone, I just tend to fall asleep or say i'll be back and never come back. I get too distracted so i'd rather talk in person or text.

Yes I LOVE talking on the DOUBLE L!!! (What we call the phone on CB)

I've never been a long phone talker, get to the point and not a lot of worthless words....

I like to keep it as short as possible.

The only person I enjoy chatting on the phone with is my closest friend. We can literally talk for hours. But he is the only one. Most of the time I actually loathe using the phone for anything.

Ahhh your sweet Theda :)

It depends
