If we're on the phone together, is it too much to ask that you stop commenting with whoever else is in the room with you? Is that too much to demand?

GOD it's a huge pet peeve of mine. If you want to talk to me, then talk to me. If you want to talk to the people you're with, then get off the phone.

I don't appreciate half-assed convos where I don't know who the hell you're talking to.

I agree, I dislike that as well. I can't carry two conversations at once so I usually stop one. I hope the other person does the same. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 27, 23:39
Usually that means they want to be off the phone, but can't/won't. - Spawn Dec 27, 17:12 2
- Spawn, you and I are old timers. Kids these days are into multitasking. - con_carne Dec 27, 17:40

I completely agree with you. I do not mind a quick response but trying to hold two conversations is really annoying -- nm - amoxy Dec 27, 16:17

I hate when that happens. Amoxy, are you staying home tonight? I mean people are so freakin rude. Pixie, what movie did you watch? Rude I tell you -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:05 5

  - I had to cancel a date, because I can't get my car out to the main street. The slush is like wet cement. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:18 2
    - Trust me, if you explain about your car, she'll totally understand. - Trish Dec 27, 17:27
    - Some jerk stood me up tonight. "My car s stuck." What the fuck ever! -- nm - random girl Dec 27, 17:13
