For the record

[hummingwolf]

Some of us benighted souls still don't have Caller ID. I know, I know, it's horrible to contemplate such an existence, yet it's a fact of life all the same. Some of us don't even have cell phones, so unless we happen to be in a room where a telephone connected to our old-fashioned landline can be heard as it rings, we will not know that anyone is calling us.

So if you make repeated phone calls to someone without bothering to leave a single message on their machine, please don't assume that the other person must know you're trying to reach them and is actively avoiding the phone calls they have no possible way of knowing you've made. Honestly, that kind of paranoia really doesn't help the image you're trying to cultivate as the Sane And Rational One in any given situation.

(Note: As far as I know, nobody reading the entry has done this to me. But if you ever do find yourself starting to think this way? Stop and take a moment to laugh at yourself. Thanks!)

Hee! The post was just an expression of frustration. As far as I know, nobody who's acted this way with me is likely to be reading my LJ. No guilt intended for anybody here!
