I mean people who take longer on the phone, for some reason, than they would in person. The ones who take forever to go through telling you what they have to tell you, and there are gaps enough to think loads of thoughts between each thing they say, and during what they say because they say it too slowly, but you can't think anything because you're trying to pay attention to what they have to say. It's TORTUROUS. What a waste of life.

people who shout on the phone are worse.

hi! just because you're talking to someone who is Far Away doesn't mean you have to talk to them as IF they're Far Away.

Please go Far Away from here. Etc.


No it's not.

Who cares how long someone else takes in the bathroom? Unless they're in your way and it's an absolute emergency. Still not a waste of life though, just nervewracking.


Yes, EXACTLY!

I need a wee, I need a wee, I need a wee, I NEED A WEE!


Yeah, but how often does that happen?

Hardly ever. Whereas people who take too long on the phone nearly *always* take too long on the phone. So anytime you talk to them, ZIPP! there go several minutes of your life that you'll never have back, completely wasted.


What

about people who do both?


Meh.

I just can't really be bothered about the bathroom thing. It's so infrequent, plus do people really ever take their sweet time in there on purpose? I doubt it. And even if they did, they likely wouldn't when other people are around (i.e., people who might have an emergency and whose way they'd be in).

I'm glad this is sorted.
