Yaahaa! Howdy guys? Looks like I've been making alot of people sad from my recent posts. So I wanted to put back that smile on your faces :). Howzat mateys? Ok so here I go.
Just the other day, after a long day at work, I went home in the pouring rain and mind-numbingly cold weather...had a shower, changed into my pyjama shorts & T, served some nice food and sat down on the couch to eat...AND THE PHONE RINGS! *rolling eyes*. Dont you hate it when that happens? I mean the landline. I absolutely loathe it when the home phone rings (whether I'm tired or not!). And it rings all the time as if our home is some Emergency Helpline! I sometimes feel like breaking the phone into pieces. Sometimes I feel like taking it off the wall and throwing it in the bin. And at other times I feel like reducing the ring-volume to 0 for good. Worse, sometimes I feel like not having a phone at all - disconnecting it for life! Seriously, some people should know not to ring at dinner time and bed time. Sometimes our phone rings when we are fast asleep, around 2am? Who could this be? Some Dope who has no idea what the time is ofcourse! One day I ran to get the phone (half asleep) and nearly killed myself hitting my head in the wall (apparently I was walking into a wall). Worse, it was one of mum's friends from Sri Lanka and she goes 'How are you darling haha! When are you coming to your Motherland?'. urrrrrrrrg? Aunty, now do you honestly think this is a time to discuss Patriotism? I'm half asleep, nearly killed and trying hard not to be rude! And both my mum and sis always expect me to answer the phone. Talk about being a slave of bossy people! Worse, if it's one of mum's friends or my aunts/uncles, they s
tart chatting with me saying 'aww Keshi how are you..how's work..tell me what happened to that, this, you, me, aunt, uncle, dinner, car, boyfriend, marriage, eggplant, petrol, sarees, Bin Laden etc etc etc. And no I'm not a girl who likes talking on the phone for too long. For me, a phone means a device that allows you to pass a message, and QUICKLY would be much appreciated! I wanna end this home phone drama without shooting anyone or burning down the house or electrocuting myself to death or even going to jail. Got any tips guys? And do share with me your phone dramas please. :)

ReplyDeleteMobile to Mobile:
1 Miss call ...means Hi
2 Miss Calls ...means missing U
3 Miss Calls ... call back. :P
lol,since everyone in my house a mobile,we even stopped using the intercom :) the phone rings in all the floors and just shuts up :D
ReplyDeleteheheh got an idea...
ReplyDeleteu can easily find a topic in net as how talking on ur phone causes damage to ur brain....
make ur mom and sis read this one...after few days when u attend a call just act as if u suffering from a headache....continue this twice or thrice...then let them know u cant attend phone from nw onwards..
but dont act to hard ...otherwise u will end in a bed for ur brain scan....lol...
"aww Keshi how are you..how's work..tell me what happened to that, this, you, me, aunt, uncle, dinner, car, boyfriend, marriage, eggplant, petrol, sarees, Bin Laden etc etc etc"
ReplyDeletethat was fun. i don't have a landline in my flat. y do bachelors need a land phone except to raise a hint of suspicion in the parents when they call at midnight n no one answers it or if some girl answers their call? but hey, i do have a stupid phone at office which keeps on ringing as if it's the 911.
i don't know whether this can b of much help but whenever i work late or am drowning myself in coding something, i just disconnect it frm the plug. i reconnect it when i leave the office.
and when i dont feel like attending my call i just dont pick that call and later sms them i was busy...
ReplyDeleteand call them back when i m in a mood to attend them....
in this way its not harsh too...
Tarun so u miss most of ur calls?
ReplyDeleteGreat tip tnxx! LOL!
Keshi.
hahahaha Vish nice idea!
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
Nirmal sadly my mum dun believe in those researches LOL!
ReplyDelete**but dont act to hard ...otherwise u will end in a bed for ur brain scan
ROFL!
Keshi.
hey Satish!
ReplyDelete**when they call at midnight n no one answers it or if some girl answers their call?
is this the real Satish that we dun know of ha? ;-)
** i do have a stupid phone at office which keeps on ringing as if it's the 911.
it must be the same ppl who call me then. LOL!
Keshi.
Nirmal I wish I cud be like u..sometimes I ans the phone when I really wanna tell em off. And that makes me more angry. why do I do that to myself!
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
****sometimes I ans the phone when I really wanna tell em off. And that makes me more angry. why do I do that to myself!*****
ReplyDeletetats because u r a sexy lady with a kind heart...
You can put on a heavy fake Russian accent, or wahtever you feel like, and swear like a f*cking sailor on crack!
ReplyDelete"Vhy da fvock you fonead me you fvocker at eating timesky?"
or
I'll pretend that I'm having sex (pant pant moan) and say that now is not a good time...
"OOH GAWD OH GAWD!"
another is the timeless
"Who is this? This is Detective Malarky and we are presently investigating a crime scene..what is your relationship to the deceased?
in that case I need you to get off of the line NOW!"
@keshi
ReplyDeleteno buddy. i jus wrote "gal" part for the fun of it. but surely if my parents call at midnight n no one answers it, they panic. right??
and coming to the callers part, does ur callers too speak arabic?? ;)
There are a lot of weekend getaways between mumbai and pune where none of these telephone subscribers have entered yet. You are totally disconnected from the world when you are there ( until and unless they decide to send you a letter through mail or call you into one of those 10 odd public telephones which i am sure they wont.) you are away from the annoying rrring rrrings there and what a relief that is!

ReplyDelete**and coming to the callers part, does ur callers too speak arabic??

Keshi.
Hey Hammer ;-)
ReplyDelete**There are a lot of weekend getaways between mumbai and pune where none of these telephone subscribers have entered yet
so u want me to live in Mumbai now? seems like a difficult option :(
Keshi.
My of My, we are sure different here! I LOVE talking over the phone. Prefer the Landline phone. I talk for like a minimum 4 hours per day with like a zillion people. Lol. Its gets on my mum's nerves so much..hehe.
ReplyDeleteBut yea, even i do have these really short phases where i dont feel like talkin to a certain someone and that's when the convo goes like this:
person: heyyy hi!
me: *oh damn not now* oh hey hello.
person: ssup?!!!
me: i was just thinkin of going to the bathroom.
person: oohhh, yuhikes, alright, i'll call you laters. bbye!
me: *phew* yea ta-daa.
:D
you should try that, tis a real and simple and practical excuse. always worlks.
oh yea, i also find it so much fun talkin to my mum's or dad's friends. in my house, tis me who usually answers the phone, so if it happens to be one of the aunties or uncles, i chit chat with em for a while and then pass the phone over. hehe.
:)

Gifted phone cell phone, being with us every minute and seconds living in this world. This landline drama stops 2years before we shifted home, where then the cell phone replaced that and what really irritate are the banking calls and calls from cell phone service. It has no time, they call whenever and we rush to receive, shits!
ReplyDeleteMy phone doesn't rings so much. Maybe because most of my friends know that I won't pick it up anyways, hahaha :)
ReplyDeleteOn my display I can see the number which is calling. So it's easy to decide if I pick it up or not.
When you don't pick up the phone, do you think you could miss something important?
stay unconnected like me...
ReplyDeletewould u believe if i tell u i don't have a cell phone these days?
I used to have one a couple of years ago... I don't have one for the past 2 years now... And trust me.. its a privilege!
phone...
ReplyDelete:O
i never ring them back..so my phone buzz a lot less :P
though dad's fone buzz a lot..and he never told me to pick up :P
but i do have fone dramas..
one of my frnd vidhi is so annoyed that wenever she calls ..she finds my fone switched off :P and everytime she shouts on my blog shout box
once a guy range me up in his morning and mt 3 am time...i was so pissed off that i said hello and said dont dare to call back till his nite :P
he neva call me back :D
lol! am very much a phone person i can talk on the phone for hrs together but yes the landline IS irritating at times coz yu have to attend the call w/o knowing who it is and then sometimes I almost faint wen i hear my aunt's voice coz she's SO SO long winded..she goes on n on n ON. You could yu know wen the phh rings, pick it up n say "Hey i'd like to order a cheese-burst pepperoni pizza" the other person wud prolly go HUH? then yu cud say oh am sorry guess I got the worng no. :p
ReplyDeleteSweetheart, Ithink you need an answering machine! :)
ReplyDeleteNora
Oh man! U touched the right chord! I HATE this too! Especially in my house, we have like some 5 godforsaken phones and just one cordless down...all of it rings and its sooo fuckin loud u just wanna bang it against the wall when it does...and to top it all when the cordless dies off half the way, i need to climb up to get the other phone..it sucks havin a house with 2 floors! MAN!
ReplyDeleteAwww poor you :P
ReplyDeleteI hate it when someone calls(mobile or landline) when I am eating or sleeping.And in the latter case,I get really rude or just hang up!
You have to answer the phone always at home?So unfair!!!
Hugsss!
Oh Keshi, I cannot give you any advice, I am always on the phone.
ReplyDeleteAlday Everyday~~
I am a Phone Whore also! haha!!!
You need a really dry raspy sleeping voice when you pick up or just turn the ringer off!! LOL!!
Have a great Day!
Ne.
oh i neva pick my home ph...coz i kno it wud neva b for me...so i turn a deaf ear...even my parents kno i wont pick it...so they dnt even temme to
ReplyDeletehi keshi..hw r u gal?! I have been very busy these few days n wil b a bit busy till 11th..coz i have to prepare for my presentation..but i nvr miss to visit ur blog..coz the posts are really superb..ok gal tcare n enjoy the phone cals :D
ReplyDeletehv a great day darling
I guess people have really stopped caring about the poor landline at my place....It is in one corner of the house and nobody bothers to answer it.... though my mom uses it sometimes to make calls..... but what you have described is funny (of course irritating too)....
ReplyDeleteTry saying this...
ReplyDelete" Hello.. hello... hello... Oh God, you must be that bloody sunnavabitch fucking asshole trying to act smart wid me again.. even after I told you last night that you moron are good for nothing in bed! If you dare to call back again.. i will have my neighbourhood whore call up your parents asking payment for my services of last week.. go to hell bastard!"
U can be sure, you wont hear from them again!
For some reason the phone seems to always ring when I am...
ReplyDeleteIn the shower.
Taking a dump.
Cooking/eating dinner.
Or, a football game has just started.
It's amazing how often that happens. A lot of times I don't even answer. If it's an emergency they'll leave a message.
lol ... try doing the same to those aunties ... call them at unearthly hours ... and ask them ... "its showing in news that its raining heavily in Sri Lanka .... is the rain really that heavy ??? :) or maybe ask them if they have taken the clothes put for drying on the terrace ... else they will get wet again :)"
ReplyDeletetc
Is there a need for landlines when we have cellphones now?
ReplyDeleteWe had the same problem...exact same problem...phone rang and rang until someone answered only to find out its telemarketeers!
Got rid of the landline but a roommate did not want to invest in a cellphone.
Result: an instrument only close to her ears when she sleeps. When she is not at home, the ringer stays silent. :)
I dont answer...Later I get the voice mail and decide to answer right away or not!
ReplyDeletealrighty!! The conventional land line has now been replaced by mobiles.. but I remember when I was in junior college , they were the rage.
ReplyDeleteI remember this particular incident, where while studying for our exams, my friend and I got bored and bang in the thick of the night we decided to 'prank call' a random number (evil us, I know I know)! And so we did!
We called up a random number and told them that we were calling from the municipal corporation and that we were conducting an emergency survey. So could the person answering the phone please check and let us know if there was water in the tap.
The person actually put us on hold and came back a couple of minutes later, saying, yes, there was water in the tap!
We then said, "What did you expect would flow out of the tap- Coke?"
:l
How about just programming voice mail to pick it up, after 3 rings. That way ur mom and sis will have too many calls to return, and run for the phone the next time
ReplyDeleteIts like all of us r trying to redeem our true selves these days. Nice post gurl... :) I jus refuse to pick up the home phone coz i m busy wth my mobile phone most of the times!! Cant blame anybody coz its my guy who keeps calling me most of the times coz he doesnt live in Mumbai. But one thing tht irritates me to no end is when i m havin a nice sunday brunch at home and this courier guy appears from no where! I mean do they realise tht its lunch time....and ppl need some privacy..no! all they knw is to come at the wrong time...and here i m scurrying to the kitchen to wash my hands so tht i can sign on tht god damn piece of paper! Btw the 2nd pic is gud, u shud actually implement tht. :)
ReplyDeleteHello !!! Hello !! Sorry, I can't hear you, can you please be a bit louder and audible .. hello, hello ( tack-tack-tack )
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be some problem in the line, don't mistake me I will call you back, sorry about this ...
You got to use this technique ;)
hey! is that ur pic..
ReplyDeleteu resemble one of my ex-classmate..
telephones.. they hardly ring for me nowadays.. so no need to pick..
Nobody calls me. Except the bank buggers and cell phone companies. Sigh!!
ReplyDeletesiissyy...
ReplyDeleteblogger ate my comment :(
buhuuuuuuu..i wrote u one...:(:( :( :(
am a bit of a cellphone addict but sometimes...just sometimes especially after a hard days work, I screen all incoming calls...uncle and aunty calls can only be answered in the morning when my tolerance level is good.
ReplyDeleteNICE POST!
ReplyDeleteI miss you keshi but, have been taking it easy the few days!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you are well :)
Ha Ha... But I love talking in fone for ever :-)
ReplyDeletehello.. hello.. can't hear u.. hello.. :D
ReplyDeleteR u serious??? did u mean tht???
ReplyDeletei love fones...landline or mobile..i love 'em! my mom, hubby n every1 i know gets tired abt the amt of time i spend on the fone! Any call is okay...EXCEPT office calls.
u know as a teenager..back home..there wld be some wrong calls..n i wld hv made frenz wit the person at the other end..hehe! i love fones! u wanna swap places ;-) ??
how about try this.. "hello?.. hello?? who?? cant hear ya..hellohello. ok bye"
ReplyDelete:)
OMG you are so true about the ph! I also can't just chat on the ph .....so true! I can understand your frustration dear
ReplyDeleteI would prefer sms than making a call dont know why I feel I am in more control that way ;)
Luv n Hugz dear
@ Dawn
ReplyDeleteI prefer to SMS too!!!
@keshi...morning...howdy??busy day??
ReplyDeleteI think I have been lucky in this regard....dont have a landline(blame it on excessively high rates!)..and a mobile helps to take only those calls which I want...But I can Imagine the "perfect timing" about which you are talking....back home, the phone always seems to ring at the wrong time...n unfortunately at such instances I seem to be the only person closest to the phone...n seconds of contemplating whether I should take the call or not..never helps..cos eventually I do have to take the call:-))
ReplyDeletePhones are nice sweety...
ReplyDeleteThink a life without them....!!!
Umm.. Yea, I know sometimes they can make you miserable....!!!
Still every coin has two sides na...!!!
TakeCare..
:)
I answer the phone at work. It's part of my job. I hate it because it rings ALL the time.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get home the last thing I want to do is answer the phone. I rarely do.
//eggplant// katrika story ah? Aiyoo! I call grandma and always ask.. did you make manga pachadi today... (mango chutney to da rest of the world :P)
ReplyDeleteOk im gonna be totally honest...I have a mobile line that I pay 80 bcuks a month but like use it once every 2 days. I send tonnes of sms thought. I dont like to set ring tones, ever anymore. Like you, I had the sound of anything from the phone except ppls voice.
The worst calls are numbers you dont know. I dont like to pick it, but my heart wont let. I pick it up, there goes my life. its either some idiot long lost chittapa's son, or some GUY. NO GIRLS?!@*^^#$*@%$ ever.
So there you go...I always say YES YES YES on the phone. and feel miserable the whole day after that, coz then ill b stuck in some improbable situation.
@Donn! ROTFL LMAO you are the master I am your subject. teach me more.
Miss you alot keshi...i dunno why...jst felt it :)
Smsing is nice but when theres smth urgent to be conveyed you cant erall bank on it can ya ? I cant. I will make a call to be sure.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, there are times when your phone just wont quit ringing off the hook incessantly, all day long....aaaaarrrrgh !!!!!
Thats when you wanna throw it outta the window for good..lol ! And the next moment you realise, oh no, you cant !
I have thrown my phone about 3-4 tmes till date at some wall in the room, (after a fight), immediately getting up and trynna search the bits and pieces of it flown away after the impact. And then sit and join the pieces together, and waiting for the thing to ring again..
Its like, ring goddamn you, ring !!!!!!!!!!
And it does ! Bahahahaha....
lol Stygian!
ReplyDeleteu know I laughed so much in the last 24hrs just thinking abt the following line from u:
**in the loo, checking myself if i had hemorrhoids"
ROFL I cant stop laffing help! I even laffed in the shower, while hvn dinner, on the train, at work etc etc LOL! I just cant seem to get over that!
Keshi.

ur so like me Ankur! Cos whenever I get Marketing calls, I get so annoyed I just tell em off. Some ppl r polite and hang up when I tell em Im not interested but there r some wannabe-smartarses that dun seem to know what NO means.
One day this girl was telling me she's gonna give me cheaper rates to overseas calls and I said Im not interested. She wudnt hang up after so many times of saying NO, and she asked me 'maam why arent u interested in cheaper calls?'..then I told her 'its cos I like spending alot of money on calls' and I hung up on her.

ya, keshi, its my pic :)
ReplyDeletethanks, girl :)

ReplyDeleteGLAD TO MAKE YOU LAUGH :)
ya're ryto keshi girl!!!
ReplyDeletei hate teh landline when it goes tring tring- n it's almost always when i'm almost asleep :(:(:(
sooooo i just plug pillows onto either side of my head n snore on, with my butt up in teh air!! nutttin else helps :(:(
as for my mobile, i always put it on silent whenever i sleep, no matter how guddd my ringtone is!
My family ditched our lan line and went mobile.
ReplyDeleteHi Keshi
ReplyDeleteJust dropped by to say 'HI' and to say I'm back for about 4 days.
HUGS!
Bev
babes i wud face the same thing every sat / sun back in syd, would just unplug the wire n sleep peacefully hehe
ReplyDeleteKeshi you up for me putting your question up on Short and Sweet today?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more, Keshi.
ReplyDeleteLast year I cancelled my landline to stop people ringing up for a pointless chat every night. I only have the mobile now, so if they want to chat it costs a dollar a minute to waste my time. Strangely, most people can say whatever they have to say in 90 seconds when the cash register is running...
ROFL.Keshi,we share the same ire for the phone...suggestion? do what I do-keep all the phones on silent,when you need peace and quiet.And, if that is not possible,give a few choice nice words to Mr. Bell for inventing this device:)
ReplyDeleten ya keep luring us al teh way wyd ya pics :)
ReplyDeletenice one there!
hi..........hw r u...still calls troubling u...
ReplyDeleteHey just stumbled on to your blog...anyway turn the tables on them,. Ask them how their kids are, how their girlfriend/ boyfriends are, ask the caller if he has a boyfriend/ she has a girlfriend, or how you heard that he had VD and whisper into the phone and ask whether its true that they are sleeping around with the next door neighbour's cute niece/ nephew and then scream 'Yes, I knew it' or just act rude and say 'Ok i'l tell ____ you called and just hang up without taking the person's name' and relay the msg that someone called. When asked who just say Told you someone' or act vague and say you forgot....Irritate the caller and the person to whom the msg is to be conveyed, you'l soon be out of your unofficial job as the receptionist of your house :P
ReplyDeleteCheers
I love the back ground music!! Men at Work, right? Takes me back to high school. :)
ReplyDeleteRemember my previous post Keshi? Where my sis called me at an un-godly hour *shudder*.. The whole week and last I've been getting similar calls. The clan keeps forgetting what time it is here. You'd think they'd remember after SO lung at least.. BLEAGH!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm guilty of the same in a way. I'm shit scared of 'things that go bump in the night', k? So on one visit home, I woke up at night feeling dreadfully thirsty. It was dark and I was scared to go get water on my own. :D SO clever me calls my landline from my cell phone. Hehe! Dad (he's my usual victim) wakes up and I hear him muttering curses as he goes to answer the phone.
Within seconds 'innocent' me is right beside him saying "who called? oh, hold on, lemme get some water before you go back to bed"
;)
I reached my new place..and i had quot e a big surprise to say the least...ill comment on this in the morn....was dropping to say hi...cause u get angry if we are way for log..hehe..:-)
ReplyDeletetake care ma'am keshi..:-)
ha ha ha...
ReplyDeletewell Keshi, I m a bachelor and living far off from my native place...so, I don't keep landline...
Thou I never mind talking on the phone incessantly...but for the people whom I don't want to talk, I simply pick up the phone and say Hello, Hello...Sir, I am not able to hear u...can u be bit louder plz??...and I switch off my mobile for a while...
now everyone in my house uses mobile...so, lesser use of landline...
Tkcre...
Harry

ReplyDeleteKeshi.
Its perfectly simple take the phone off the hook when you dont want to hear it.
ReplyDeleteOr if you call telecom or your service provider, they can put a block on nuisance calls.
LIke calls from call centres in INDIA er er.
I have had several unsolicited calls from a hot babe from unclesamland, usually around early pm, she can sure lay it on thick, some of her suggestions and-or things she gets up to, I have never experienced within my lifetime of serious bouncing around in the boudoir.
i don't really hv problem with the landline coz well, i don't give my hse num to anyone and i don't chat with relatives :P
ReplyDeletebut i do hv problem with some ppl who call my mobile. i blv mobile phones are for OUR convenience and not for other's convenience. i hate it when some will not give up when i don't answer their calls. normally i take calls but u know, we do get busy and sometimes i can't pick it for a reason (lets say in meeting) but the other party keeps calling u over and over again. why can't they understand that im not answering the call coz im occupied with some important tasks? *sigh...
and now its time for a shameless self-promo. tulipspeaks has been nominated for 2 blogger awards:
Best Personal Blog
Most Popular Female Blog
Give me the best ranking, okie??!! :P
thanks hun!
ammu.
Just plug the FAX machine into the socket and leave it there!
ReplyDeleteI got jack of idiot phone canvasers and "dinnerus interuptus" about 5 years ago. If they really really need me, AND they actually know me, they can call my mobile. Failing that... DON'T CALL ME!
our landline is stricly meant for the telemarketers...you know when some of those online forms ask you for your phone number? And hence, if the ringer is on, we know its no one we know, so we never pick it up.
ReplyDeleteIf the cell phones ring at odd hours, we don't pick it up.
My dad usually tries to give me a hard time if its too early in the morning for me when he calls and gets my voicemail. I used to feel guilty before, now I tell him you should sleep too!
lol Vesty!
ReplyDeleteyes the telemarketers r bloody annoying!!
Keshi.
Ammu congrattz hun! Im soooo happy for ya. Will come ard to vote for the number one hunnypot in Blogville!
ReplyDelete**. i hate it when some will not give up when i don't answer their calls.
me too. I hate that. And sometimes I wanna smash my mobile too.
Keshi.
lol Boy!
ReplyDeleteI hv told so many telemarketers off...big time!
Keshi.
