“This week 1 am feeling a bit:

bolied at people in general and

especially people who have no
telephone manners, I live inan

lines, This should not be
problem bul, like many of the
simple things, itis. [is beyond
my understanding that such a
small thing as a telephone
should be able ta give one a
constant migraine.. A simple
telephone call becomes a full
scale battle; and, eventually, I
seem 10 be the loser of every
one,

It goes something like this: 1
pick up my phone, listen for dial
tone and dial. That's the easy
parl. I have now reached my
parly adn we're inlo a juicy
discussion of who's been doing
what when, Lo! lhe enemy
attacks! We hear, not each
other, but a member of the
‘ather side dialing a number.
Then this other person listens
for a moment and says, “oh
dear, I didn’t know the line was
busy.’’ The sound heard next is
very nearly suceessful attempt
at breaking eardrums, MINE!
Some of my friends don’t even
phone anymore and I don't
blame them the price of my

_ friendship is sore ears.

That is an example of a very
good time, There are other
times when I go through this

minute conversalion, ‘Then

The . other thing about
telephone manners is people
who phane, tell you off, and then
