You've settled down into the comfy chair, you're lost in the music, tapping your feet, clicking your fingers and then the bloody phone makes its presence known in an unrelenting manner..... whaddaya do? Its a friend, a relly wanting to chat at length about nothing but you haven't heard from them in years so feel obliged to talk, you've lost three or four albums of valuable listening time! Thank goodness for 'caller identify' and the ability to lie about not being in at the time  .
Whats your way out of this scenario?

I'd use the "I was abducted by aliens mate" routine. Works for me.

I have the phone in the study and set its volume so that I can't hear it when I'm listening. Nothing will disturb me then.
That's what answerphones are for!

When I'm listening to music it is too loud to hear the phone, which is in the hall ;-)

The days of answering the phone when it rings are long gone to me. I will quite happily call back when(or if) it suits me.

No-one ever phones me (boo-hoo!)

But sadly my wife differs on this - the phone MUST be answered, in case it's someone to tell her that the world is ending and she might not realise otherwise, I guess. 
Drives me a bit potty, tbh.

Nah, he was a lawyer chasing around for PPI claim business and I can never comprehend his nonsensical rambling legal jargon and the cost of his hefty invoicing  . By the way should it not be spelt 'miserable'? Tooty for now old fruity X. |
