don't request songs when you're sick.
I was deadly sick with mono AND a horrible case of bronchitis a few years ago, and couldn't sleep. So I lay curled up on the couch at 7 am listening to my favourite radio station morning show; then figured "hey, I can call in and request a song!" So I did.

Didn't go so hot; the one DJ didn't understand me when I said my name was Meg, and thought I had said Neg... then got pissy when I corrected him. He then told me I sounded like a boy, to which I got upset and hung up and wrote a nasty email to them after stewing over it.

An hour after the morning show ended, the second DJ (not the one who insulted me), phoned my house to apologize for his partner being an ass and hurting my feelings.

If anyone is interested, the insulting asshole is Daryn Jones, who is now on his last season with a horrid TV show called "Buzz" here in Canada. The nice DJ is Jay (Maddog) who now works for CHFI 98.1 in Toronto.

(I also once called a radio station and left a five minute rambling message on their request line voicemail, which they played on the air the next day and laughed about it. I was tired and had a friend over at the time, and was quite happy to talk to a radio station answering machine about jello.)
