  • All of them. I really don't like phone calls other than for simple questions or statements or to relay simple information. If a call lasts longer than 5-10 minutes, then the conversation should be done in person. At least, that's how I see it.

  • I agree,  I prefer text. If I get a call needs to be to discuss something quick or an emergency. with expection of someone I'm very close to. I just had a 20 Minute discussion ( one sided ) about golf. I'm not impressed.

  • Yes I know :/ I tuned out after first 5 minutes. Especially when started talking about let someone play through  then argue over lose sunglasses and divot or whatever. Men are so weird sometimes :/

    I volunteer for the Red Cross on Saturday mornings, I give about three dozen elderly people a welfare check call. Some of them want to chat for a while, I could be the only person they will speak to all day. The phone can be a lifeline for those who can't get out much or at all. Man is a social animal.

    The only thing more boring than playing golf is watching somebody else play golf.

    I did try it - once. I shot an 89. Then, on the second hole ...

    Two other completely uninteresting topics are:
    Your cat (I honestly couldn't care less), and
    Whatever the telemarketer is trying to sell me, in that unintelligible accent. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at May 27, 2017 9:50 PM MDT

  • Agree with the cats :) I can't stand when people talk about their cats or children for that matter . I never answer numbers I don't recognize so dont deal with telemarketing.

    I frequently have to field calls from customers, so I have to answer unknown numbers a lot of the time.

    Have you ever considered getting rid of your phone since you don't want to answer calls, not even from people you like?
    Talk about some men being idiots, you're feeding my addiction to irony.

    OK, I do not like texting, I like talking to people on the phone, not long, not endless chit chat, just talking. I also love the game of golf, I walk around playing the game chatting with friends, enjoying the day rather than being a couch patato watching the box. So, call golf whatever you like, I shall keep playing the game .... and BTW , it IS a sport or it wouldn't be a part of the Olympic games.
    Live and let live ... ! OK? Peace.

  • Agree with politics :) I was bored today so looking through my old questions .. I'd say 67% are related to relationship troubles or sports :)of the ones I looked at anyway :) guess I have no right to complain about politics then :) cos I'm a broken record myself. I'm just gonna think about bee's from now on.

  • I talk about all those things, but on the phone it's torture.  Like when someone calls out of the blue to bitch about their BF/GF?   WTF do you want me to say?   Dump 'em!... Honestly outside of MMA and Boxing I  pay little attention to sports or care much about them except the game i am and playoffs.

  • I see :) I don't care much for boxing but I really want Mayweather vs. Mcgregor fight . Now I'm thinking about sports again instead of the Bee's. :)
