I don't have a ton of pet peeves...really I don't.
Please note I didn't say I don't have ANY, just not a ton.
My biggest one is so simple.
So easy.
And SO RUDE.
If you are going to call my house...leave a stinkin message if no one answers.
Easy as that.
See, not hard.
I was always taught that if you had time to call someone, you had time to leave a message. If I don't leave a message, I don't expect someone to call me back.
I don't call people back that DON'T leave a message. It is rude and I will not encourage it. I don't care how important it is. If it was that important you would leave a message.
"Hey it's me, call me"
How hard is that. 10 seconds max.
This weekend Hubby and I were inundated with phone calls. We were gone 85% of the weekend.
Guess how many left a message.
One.
And there were 15 numbers on the caller id.
One.
I don't think it is that hard.
Is it?

Oh how I agree with that. I also hate the unanswered email...some don't require an answer but the ones that do??? If your busy just shoot me a "write ya later"
WOW! I just assume they were only calling to chit-chat. It would never occur to me that not leaving a message was rude. I'll remember that the next time I phone someone. Thanks for the heads-up!
