I am waiting on a phone call from a woman in Detroit and she hasn't call back yet. I've been waiting for an hour or so now.

I hate it when people do that, argh!!

1. YES!
It's one of the things that pisses me off the most! Major, major pet peeve.

3. I just hate it when people don't deliver on what they say they are going to do...
But then again she probably is still on the other line. She did have to take a call and she told me she would call back.

But still I hate waiting sometimes because I have this happen all of the time.

6. I do too
It seems people say things that they don't really mean or somehow just forget. I know I have been waiting on stuff for work which depended on a phone call, only to find that the other person "forgot".

7. Don't put your life on hold for rude people.
If someone says that they're going to call you back, and they don't, then go do something else.

Don't ever sit by a phone waiting on someone to call.

8. I hate waiting for calls too
but I've been guilty of not returning calls as quickly as I thought I'd be able to do so. I do apologize, sincerely, when it happens (not that that gives the person waiting back the time s/he spent waiting.)

BUT, I never say "I'll call you right back" if I don't mean it. That would be lame, dishonest, and rude.

10. My dear BlueStorm........
I hate it too.....

But I've been lucky!

My dearest friends do not do that to me........

If they say they're going to be right back, then they are!

They never let me down......

I wish your situation were better.....:hug:

13. It's usually a sign that the person doesn't value your time at all.
Sad but true.


(Unless there has been a real emergency of some kind which prohibited the call.)


:hi: Blue. Sorry about the call.
