It might just be my age,but I rarely give out my mobile number. If I am not answering my house phone or my work phone... It is because I'm too bloody busy!

I'm just a grump about mobilesall manners gone out the window. If i was talking to a freind in a bar and someone just breezed up and yelled "talk to me instead, now!" we'd both tell them to naff off. But if a phone rings? A hand goes up to shut you up and it gets priority.

OoohNot with me. A phone is for my convenience, that's why it has an answer message. I too find that really rude, the same as the whole 'I'll be 15 minutes late' calling deal. Couldn't get away with it when you didn't have a mobile, shouldn't get away with it now.

I wish i had invested in a mobile companythe amount of times i hear "Just getting off the train, home in five minutes" calls. Why not just wait five minutes and say "I'm home" in person?

Personal contact is to be kept to a minimum please.My faves are the 'I'm just outside now' ones, though I sometimes have to make those myself.
