Voicemails

I HATE 'em!

I hardly ever check them and the only reason I do is to remove that symbol on the toolbar of my phone. 

I don't understand why someone can't just text me.  Why?  Why can't you just text?  If you text and I don't return it, I sure as hell am not going to answer a phone call.  In fact, I am MORE likely to return a text.  On the flip side, if I don't answer, text me!  I MIGHT just be busy and unable to talk on the phone yet still be able to return a text.  Here are some examples of shit I might be doing that would deter me from answering a call, yet would still allow for a return text:

Watching TV
Hanging out with a friend
Working
Cleaning house
Masturbating
In a meeting
Eating
At a loud club
Hiking at the top of a windy cliff
Already talking to someone more interesting
Already talking to someone I HAVE to talk to
Havng sex
Waiting on someone behind a door so I can scare the shit out of them when they come through it
On the toilette
On the elliptibeast
Waiting in line at the DMV
Closing a big money deal
Nude modeling
Listening to music at home
Evacuating the dancefloor
At a concert
Getting a massage
Having my hair did
Going through the security line at the airport
Wearing a helmet
Playing video games
Eavesdropping on the neighbors

Another thing.  And this should not even need to be said.  It...it baffles me that I shoud have to mention this here.  DO NOT TEXT ME AND TELL ME TO CALL YOU.  Seriously, what kind of power trip are you on?  You can pull your phone out and take the time to text those words, which actually required more effort than calling, but you command me to call YOU.  FUCK YOU.   If you text me that, you can pretty much bet that I am NOT going to call you under any circumstances.  If you need to speak to me, just call. 

Now, before you start thinking this is a contradiction just listen.  Call if you need to.  If I don't answer, just try back later or text me your business.  Someone recently texted "Can I call you..are you free?".  This person has it figured out.  If I didn't see the text and didn't return it, she knows I am obviously unavailable.  In this case, I actually did see the text and I replied by simply calling her.  See how easy that is? 

Kisses,

Olive

  4. Tiffini, I can't return a text while sleeping. That list is things I can't talk on the phone but I might return a text.

  5. Uh oh. I love leaving voicemails....just because sometimes, I like to leave nice ones in case you're having a bad day one day...and if you happen to listen, it'll make your day better. Guess not though in your case, so I'll have that joted down in my voicemail checklist world. :)

  6. Michele, I actually LOVE fun, whimsical voicemails. If you leave me a silly voicemail or a sweet one or a sassy one, I LOVE that. Those are fun to get anytime and they don't have time sensitive purpose to them. What I HATE is when someone leaves a message like "Call me as soon as you get this" and then gets mad because I never call them back. What they should ALWAYS do in that case is to simple send me a text after they call and just say whatever it is.
