This morning at work, my phone would not stop ringing. It was vibrating all over my desk, every 10 minutes, on the dot. I looked at the number, and it was a represenative from National Instruments that I've told repeatedly not to call my phone. This continued for 3 hours, and I started getting really annoyed. My battery went from fully charged to nearly drained. In the past, he's continued for days and days until I turn off my phone for a few days. I was at the verge of snapping, so I picked up the phone and very nicely said, "I am deaf, and I cannot answer my phone. In that National Instruments system, I know there are several other ways listed for contact purposes. Please use one of those to contact me, and stop calling."
After that, I got a sheepish email from the rep apologizing, and he said what he wanted to say. I replied back to the email answering all his questions.
Less than an hour later, he calls again. I let it go, and 10 minutes later, he calls again. The third time he called, I really lost it. I picked up the phone and angrily snapped, "WHAT!!!! Do you think that I MAGICALLY obtained a sense of hearing in the last fourty five minutes?" and I hung up angrily. Really got some snap on the phone.
Judging from his latest email, he feels very small right now.
...Oops?
