There are very few people with my cell number that might call with this annoying behavior. You in particular don't hear from me over the phone as much as maybe either of us would like, but when I call, I like to think I tend to leave a message that isn't meaningless. *L* I also HATE it when people do that in my VM. Think I'm going to call back someone who left me a full 2:00 of dialtone regardless of whether I have their number? NO! How about the "Hey where are you? Gimme a call!" Absolutely not. I WILL attempt to keep in touch better though now that the Army doesn't monopolize my time any longer. Oh dear…I’m so glad I don’t have a landline.

If you don't say, "Call us back!", we won't. Why should we? We had no indication that it was needed. Plus, it makes us feel better if people say, "No emergency, just wanted to ask you about widgets" or something similar so we don't imagine that people are lying in a ditch, bleeding and unable to talk, and tried to get help by calling us.

I'll remember to leave a message next time. :P Usually, though..I call about something not important. I guess I'll just say so. I love a good rant.
