No, I am not a libber, just a cocerned bystander. I have a daughte who will be entering the "eligible" age soon and I am a bit protective.
I am an asshole, as many of you know, and I have one primary requirement for any boy who wants to talk to my daughter, ie. when you call my daughter and I or any other member of my family answers the phone, you will identify yourself BEFORE asking to speak to my daughter. If you do not I, and the other members of my family, will hang up on you. Yes, we will be just as rude as you.
End of story.
You lose.
Is he supposed to know that? I wouldn't automatically tell anyone on the other end of the phone who i was when i asked for a girl.![]()
pyonir, when I make a phonecall and somebody answers, ther first thing I say is, "Hi, this is Asshole, may I speak to Whoever." That way the person on the receiving end knows who is calling and who that person would like to speak to.
That is how I was raised. It is also good business practice.
If anybody thinks my way is wrong then spout off. I am willing to hear you out.![]()
Yes, I am OLD fashilned. I expect the common courtesy of those calling to identify themselves. I understand that you younguns don't understand this concept, yet. You will one day when some guy calls, you answer the phone, he wants to talk to your daughter and you don't know who the hell he is. But, you will, before you let him speak to her.
I promise. You will.
