  • If Your SO Is Chatting On AIM While Talking on The Phone...

    From past experiences, I have realised that it is extremely annoying when you're trying to talk to your SO on the phone and he is busy typing away on the computer, let alone chatting to other girls and laughing his head off at the conversations they are sharing. Well, have you ever noticed that "I'M HERE!!!" and it makes me look like I am literally talking to MYSELF on the phone. It even gets more annoying when you repeat things like three times just because they didn't hear it the first time. I guess it's okay if it was urgent, or plainly for platonic reason, but anything else is a "no".

    So, I've learnt that when talking to a special someone on the phone, pay attention please OR just get off the phone until you're done doing whatever you are doing and then call me back. Maybe that is when we will have a decent conversation. I've tried chatting and talking on the phone a couple of times before. Never worked, or maybe I just can't multitask.

    Do you mind if your SO is chatting whilst talking on the phone? Any stories to share?

    I'm not sure that it even matters if it's your SO, it's rude for anyone to do that. I have a friend who always does that and it bugs me no matter what end of the line I'm on (telephone or IM). To me, it's just the same as eating dinner and texting at the same time-- it just means that the other person is bored or lacks enough respect for you to give their undivided attention.

    ugh, i hate when my boyfriend does it, i hate when my best friend does it. i only do it to annoy them back.
    when i hear "beep, beep, beep" i shut up, and my boyfriend says "i'm sorry" but why be sorry if you do it repeatedly.

    I tend to pay more attention to the phone than the IM chat.  Usually when the phone rings, I'll quickly put "brb phone."  The only time when I pay more attention to the chat than the phone is when my sister (which is usually my mom using my sister's screen name) or my boyfriend are chatting to me.

    I know what you mean i myself could do both and he would never know but he never could and when we was in a LDR it was annoying to be talking on the phone to him and he would be having a backround converstation to who ever was over his house it use to piss me off to no end like you are with them all day give me atleast 15 min of your time. so i understand that laughing at something that your not aware of it annoying.
