    I had a worker call in sick. I hung up on her twice before I realized she had laryngitis.

    Cool thought. Won’t stop those robo calls though. They seem to beleive that if you pick up and make any noise at all, it is a go.

    I used to hate when someone called and asked “Who am I speaking to?” I always responded, “Who did you call?!?”

    … Doesn’t happen anymore, though. If I don’t recognize the number, I don’t answer.

    Mrs. Kravitz you called her! I know, I know; his name is Abner, but I read that last panel in Mrs. Kravitz voice.

    This is one of my major peeves about using the phone. This caller to Elly’s house expects Elly to identify herself, while not identifying the caller. I get calls like this all the time where the caller expects me to identify myself, instead of the other way around. I believe proper phone etiquette requires the caller to identify his/herself, and not the other way around.

    When I worked in retail we’d call potential buyers and first identify ourselves and our company as a common courtesy. I’ve lectured many a telemarketer on this subject for, if nothing else, helping the buyer feel at ease.

    Actually, whether in business or personal, identifying oneself to the callee is always wise, True, many people have caller ID, but many do not, and doing so is a mark of a true professional.

    Lynn’s Notes:

    Once again, I received letters from folks who thought the mere suggestion of an “obscene phone call” might rattle the minds of my young readers. I now wonder how much the kids of today have already observed, experienced, and come to terms with by the time they are reading the funny pages!

    I don’t answer any phone ringing unless I hear a voice or message I recognize. If you don’t leave a message then it wasn’t important enough for me to answer. It’s a telemarketer dead end at my house.

    Saw a story on a BB where the poster had gone in to see a doctor for laryngitis and the receptionist told her she needed to call her insurance provider first. Ummm dummy, the woman can’t talk. She was struggling to communicate with the insurance guy and the receptionist just sits there and does nothing to help.
