Do you like talking on the phone? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 12-21-2006, 12:11 AM

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

moeee · 12-21-2006, 12:20 AM

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

Courtnee · 12-21-2006, 12:54 AM

ew, no. I hate the phone so much.

dawsongirl · 12-21-2006, 01:31 AM

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.

Fleet · 12-21-2006, 01:36 AM

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

felicitylen · 12-21-2006, 01:51 AM

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

80sTrivia · 12-21-2006, 07:03 AM

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...

bandito · 12-21-2006, 07:59 AM

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

Already Gone · 12-21-2006, 08:45 AM

No, I hate talking on the phone.

Brian Damage · 12-21-2006, 10:45 AM

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

So definitely not, right?

swedeace · 12-21-2006, 11:17 AM

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!
