What makes you annoyed?

A friend of mine used to let her chatty toddler loose with cold callers too. He'd happily talk away to anyone given half the chance, the only danger with that is I suppose the caller might get the child to divulge private information, although I suspect they'd probably just hang up pretty quickly.

If I get a call and it takes more than a few seconds for the caller to speak I just hang up as I know it's an auto-dialled call.

I never speak until the dialee greets me...

Well I do say "hello" when I answer the phone, and then if I'm left waiting listening to silence I know it's an autodialler waiting to connect me to someone.

This discussion about dialings, hang-up calls reminds me of the movie, The Lover (adapted from an autobiographical novel by the same title), where French writer, Marguerite Duras gets a call from her long-lost love, who at first hesitates to identify himself, but later does so after a pause. It is amazing that she never hangs up on him after quite a long pause, although it could be that she had already recognized the voice from the other end...

Two of the MANY things that annoy me is when my 5 year old cousin tells me and my sister to stop fighting,and when A girl at school keeps on asking me if my best friend is `Introjucing' me into her conversation

Looking at an estate agent's details yesterday, it read, "the property enjoys two double bedrooms..." Enjoys? How can a house enjoy a bedroom....?

How about the houses that 'benefit from' things that I would think are rather a necessity like a front door!

I don't know about the house, but maybe a couple moving into the house might 'enjoy' the double bedrooms.
