I am so not a phone person but when I get a message from friends I usually call them back in a day or two...however when its family (cousin, aunt, etc) I am not as good about calling back. I really just dont feel like I have a lot of time to call and chat so I sometimes let too much time pass.
My cousin is now furious with me....I hate dealing with this...she is always mad and now I even more don't want to call her and listen to a lecture.

Re: Are you good about calling people back??
I call some people sooner than others. It depends on what the news is and how much time I feel I need. Certain people are okay with chatting for 15 minutes, others need to have the evening cleared for them. I call back when I have the time to devote to the person. If not, I e-mail and tell them I will call when I have time to sit and chat.

Yes I usually call people back. I don't like to leave them hanging.

Re: Are you good about calling people back??
I try to be good about calling people back, but I do not like talking on the phone. So if I have a message from someone, especially someone I’m not too keen on talking to, I might not call them back for a few days.
That being said, I don’t think your cousin should be mad at you for not calling her back right away.

I kind of stink at calling everyone back. I hate talking on the phone. But in cases like this, I would just bite the bullet and make the call. It will only get harder to do later on.

I call within the same day, or the next day. I hate not having my phone calls returned and hence follow the same rule for others.

I hate talking on the phone, so I rarely call people back.
My twisted strategy is to call them when I know they won't be there, so I can just leave a quick voicemail to let them know that I at least tried - this way,the ball is back in their court....

I am VERY GOOD about calling people back. I am no phone person either but I hate it when people leave me hanging, so I try my darndest not to do it either.I think it is bad when people don't call back. I seem to always think it is something majorly important even though it rarely ever is, but for my piece of mind I wanna know what caused the phone call.

The only two people in the world I am good at calling back are FH and my dad. I am very shy and awkward on the phone; I much rather talk face to face.

I'm pretty good at calling people back, but I'm BAD at being the initial caller. I hate talking on the phone.

I used to be good - now FORGET IT! I usually remember around midnight all the calls that I was supposed to make.

I am so glad I am not alone in this.
I called my cousin and to my pleasant suprise she was not there so I left a message.

Re: Are you good about calling people back??
omg, fh just asked me why i have a tweak about the phone. i never call people back unless it is my mom, or fh, or best friend or someone i can talk to easily. it is basically that i hate (HATE) being stuck on the phone listening to someone for almost 2 hours!!! Especially when i never get a word in edgewise. it drives me crazy. so i too do the 'oops, you're not home, well, i am calling you back' thing. fh bought this telephone operator headpiece that allows him to walk around and talk away and actually do things. but it is also so hard to get off the phone with some people. grrr...and i have been chewed out by people about not returning phone calls. oh well...
