Another one! If you are calling a friend?

Original post by Ronnie&Theresa

Do you say Hi so and so how are you?
let them respond and then ask to speak for the person you called?

If I called on their regular phone I would say hi how are you....if I dont really like that person I would have to be nice to and greet...I would call my friend on their cell phone and avoid the being nice part.

Hmmm I guess not totally true when my EX was married to bimbo # 2 I would NEVER acknowledge her trashy self. Anyone who is mean to Brandon is a pices of @#$% in my book

Next time the person calls be really nice. When they ask for Ronnie be like, 'Hi 'X', how are you? How is work going? Anything new and interesting in your life? Have you found a man yet?' Then put him on the phone. I feel ya on this. I have been in the exact situation you are discribing.

I usually say hey Matt, or Rob or whoever it is that answered and chat with them for a bit. Then ask for where is your wifey? Your woman? If I am calling a family line and know the person's voice I always greet the person and chit chat for a while then ask for my friend.
Same goes for when people call FH's line at home and they start chit chatting with me. And the same goes when he picks up my own line at my house.

HOWEVER, when I pick up a call on my parents line-my mother's nasty friends (not all, just the ones I can't stand) say where is your mother? So I say hello how are you? Are you in a rush?? You must be since you can't say hello to me!! Then I get the comment after my mom gets off the phone, you are so rude... blah, blah, blah. Too bad. I don't give a rats a$$ how old or who you are. Give me the respect that you would want from someone.

I am new at this situation.
I am thinking BUZZ off is the best answer!

Buzz off always works too...lol

My mother always says kill em with kindness. I partially take her advice and add some sarcasm into the mix.

I think my SS mother caught on quickly, she quickly adapted the good evening may I speak to John please, she knows if she shows no respect she speaks to no one in my home. I am the lady of the house, you must acknowledge me and give me the respect I am due
