I was tackling a delicate situation - cutting meat off a shoulder joint, with an (apparently) ravenous cat lurking, when my phone rang. |

I had one at 8.15am this morning. Thinking it was going to be a family crisis at that time, I nerved myself before answering. When this voice said that it was about 'my computer', I snapped "At this time in the morning? You must be joking!" and cut them off in their prime... :-D |

Last week I lost the plot when I answered phone - my carer was here and I said b----r off. She was horrified until she heard who was ringing. Phone rang about 2 hrs later, heard my voice and put phone down.. No similar calls have been heard since. |

We prefer to leave the answer phone on. 'The other person clears' very quickly. |

If it is a foreign person, I say "Sorry, I am not English and cannot understand what you are saying" and they ring off!! |

I had one the other day telling he was calling me at home because I'd had an accident and could claim compensation. As I was at work I just hung up. If that was my home number though I must be very rich and have amnesia. |

When I'm told I've had a car accident, I ask if I was driving. |
