I am E , and i am publishing a new post today. As i sit here and start to ramble on i realise that the reason i am doing this post is cuz i am a grouch again , venting out in here! So bear with me. If u know me well online , u will know that i have a Facebook account. And in today's Update status i have posted a comment about getting "missed calls" !!!
There are many scenarios on who makes these kind of calls and why they make them. There are many many valid reasons for making such calls. My kids do a lot of that , i think for a fact a lot of youths do that. i dont blame them and i have given mine the permission to impose on me mainly because they arent in the super income category yet. Heck, they dont earn a single cent at all , and all the money they are spending now is mine!!! So they do have a valid reason to miss call me when they choose to do so.
Another situation where "missed calls" are accepted would be to let the receiver know that we are where we should be at this very minute. It saves alot of time and talking power !!! For instance u make an appointment to meet at a certain place , and u arrive there and then "miss call" the other party who will then scurry out of her car or building to meet u. It will be a lot safer for her to wait in a building or her car , rather than stand in the open waiting for u to arrive. And with the bad traffic these days no one ever arrives at their destination on time! So Missed calls are useful here!
So its not uncommon to hear some one say " i will miss call u jsut b4 i leave" or " i will miss call u when i get there." And better still, " i will miss call u when i have arrived home safely." I want my kids to do that . They have to "miss call" me when they arrive at the mall , or if they are boarding the KTM train bound home so i know their estimated time of arrival.
But the one 'Missed call" that i abhor is the one thats made intentionally so bovious that u do not have a choice but to call them back and ask them what they called u for!!!! Its NOT an " i am safe at home now " call nor is it a " Hey i am right in front of your office now " call. Its a clear cut " call me back now cuz i dont want to use my phone credit " kind of call!!!! And thats very very irritating!!!!
I know one particular person who does that ALL the time. He doesnt do it to me cuz he isnt MY friend LOL but he does that to some one close to me! And this someone never fails to call him back to ask him what he wants!!!! Geez!
well, if u are a sucker u get sucked in! Being too nice and too sweet makes one a sucker!!!! I was one , been there , done that ..... now i resist the suction! ( IF i Can!!)
E-lectronically sucked in!
