I remember I posted a picture of a pizza I was having for lunch on Facebook once and my mum commented 'that looks horrible'.
IWLTS to my own mother that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. I can’t because her comment is in emoji form so I may be interpreting it incorrectly, and also it’s an unnecessary can of worms to open. I’m just annoyed because it’s on an FB post where I specifically edited out part of a comment referring to Scottish independence because I knew she would see it, but I think she’s responding to that part of it anyway
The only 2 people who ever phone me are my mum, and my cousin in London, and both like to chat for ages. I should really get them to phone each other
I don't mind speaking on the phone, my particular hate is voicemail though, especially when its people who I speak to regularly. Your name has come up in my phone, I know you've phoned! I dont need to listen to a waffly message asking me to call you back, I was going to do that anyway
Christ on a bendy bus son, don't be such a fucking faff arse
My mum and M are the only people who call me on my mobile and they are both message-leavers. My mum always leaves a long message which somehow only manages to let me know that she's now going to try my house phone. Which means that if I miss answering my mobile by a few seconds and try to call her back her number is engaged for ages. At least she doesn't always leave a second message on the house phone voicemail now though.
IWLTS: Your boyfriend looks like a slightly sinister version of your dad.
IWLTS Much as I love you, I find it a bit hard to swallow that you (who voted Leave) posted up on Facebook that you are marking the UK leaving the EU by going to Australia. You will forgive me for not bidding you a nice holiday.

Whereas I am the opposite and will assume that if they haven't left a message there is nothing important to call back about. But I am a total phone phobic twat.

I'm not sure Australia is necessarily a nice place for a holiday right now anyway
Ha, true!
I am the same Kiwi. If you don't leave a message I figure it's because you called me by mistake - normally because I do that a lot and then have to go through the whole explanation when someone calls back saying "I missed a call from this number." If I wanted you to call me back I'd have left a message asking you to call me back!
Worse are people who leave messages saying:
- I've just sent you an email and it says ...
- I just tried you, but you didn't answer, so I'll try you again later
"You first have to find out who you are. Then you have to be it like mad."
The correct response when someone calls is to leave a text if you'd like them to call you back. No voicemails! But I agree, just a missed call doesn't constitute as a call-back request - I'll ignore them unless someone sends a follow up text.
I do also hate people calling me. My best friend insists on it and she's almost broken me in, I'll answer her 75% of the time.
Very tempting though, smal. I had a very similar WLTS when I spotted recent photos of Bambs' step mum. She's had so much work done, she's unrecognisable. And potentially highly flammable.
No idea who he is, but I use twitter almost exclusively for work stuff, and he seems to have followed a lot of the key players in my industry.... My industry that's full of women age 30-55.
If I wanted you to call me back I'd have left a message asking you to call me back!
