Hello, have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?
Dialing in on the phone on Mefi: JanetLand posted WaPo's guide to modern phone etiquette, while in Ask Metafiler, Rash wants to know why you hold your phone like that, and niicholas is looking for songs with land-line telephone sounds. ☎

Why yes lady at the furniture store, I do have a phone so full of pics of my dog I can’t find the one of the coffee table I’m looking for. But thanks for looking over my shoulder as I try to find it.
I’m glad it was only dog pics I keep in the cloud 🤷🏼♀️

I'm sorry I was unable to take your call, but if you leave a detailed message after the tone, as soon as I am available I will stare in disgusted amazement at the new message notification, muttering, "The fuck do they want?" before going about my day.
