I have no idea. But that is usually not the case. To listen quietly is easier than conversing.

Yes, I think she's telling the truth. Because I know her and her communication tactics. No more need for anyone to to use personal insults on me.

Ok, we'll resume reading your mind.

Aw, MAN, are you saying I've been horribly rude this whole time? I can't help it, I pop my knuckles compulsively, it's not an attention thing. They hurt if I let them go too long unpopped!

I think everybody is doing something that is somebody's pet peeve. If you answer your phone, you piss off somebody who hates phones, if you don't, you piss off the person who's calling you who can't stand when people don't answer their phones. I don't think it's something to worry about too much.

My fiance is the same with the popping joints. The thing that really freaked me out at first was when he would crack his neck, but it doesn't bother me anymore. Sometimes I need to pop my hip joints, too.

I don't have anything to contribute that hasn't already been said (at least) twice.

I just think it's fascinating what seemingly innocent posts will blow up and produce, say, eight pages of replies in less than two days.

Talking on the phone forces everyone around you to listen to half a conversation. There is no way they can not hear it without sticking their fingers in their ears and humming. It's extremely rude and if you ask Miss manners or any of the other references, they'll tell you that.

I pay for it. I decide when I use it. Very simple.

It's not a bloody electronic leash --- it's a tool, like a screwdriver. I own it; it doesn't own me.
