how many times is too many when it comes to calling someone over and over?i stopped talking to someone (with what i feel to be good reason) a few years ago. may or may not have even been anything they did, may have just been something i needed to do at the time.that part isn't important. the point is that for about a month now, it seems like every time i look at my phone, i have multiple missed calls from them./... and there was only ever one message one time saying "hey gimme a call sometime". if they had something important to say, they'd say it on the message. if anything, this shows that they know they are invading my space with their calls. lately its even turned to quick text messages... "hey... call me". shit like this makes me feel REALLY uncomfortable for some reason - and before someone asks, it's NOT a dating/sex thing, which makes it even MORE weird to me. also its no one on tww, i dont give out my number on tww okor am i looking at this all wrong, and i'm the crazy one?]

i figure if its important they'll leave a message (so i agree with you - kinda weird)that saidi call my boyfriend over and over when he won't answer sometimes just to be annoying. but i'm allowed to be annoying from time to time. its in our relationship manual.[Edited on February 23, 2010 at 7:25 PM.

as a matter of principle if someone calls over and over i will not pick up in hopes that they will leave a message and realize it's not importantusually this person is my mother

the other day someone called me over and over from an unknown number w/o leaving a messagefinally i answeredit was my boyfriend calling from jail
2/23/2010 7:28:05 PM
call me crazy, but uh, have you thought about calling them back?
2/23/2010 7:28:20 PM
yeah boyfriends and girlfriends have been known to do that... that is acceptable in some cases, if both sides are ok with it
2/23/2010 7:28:42 PM
^^ but thats the thing if you are calling ME why should i waste MY time calling you back. just leave a freaking message. i don't wanna get stuck in a lets catch up what have you been doing for the past 5 years ready go type convo.that is why you screen.^ well he isn't ok with it so i try to limit it to once a year. the other week when my toilet overflowed and he was napping i called like 37 times and left lots of messages that were like "i'm having a crisis where ARE you" and then he was MIA for like 5 hours and i called a lot and then i was mad[Edited on February 23, 2010 at 7:29 PM.

have i thought about calling them back?well yeah they've almost harassed me into calling them back, but i think youre missing the part where i say that i stopped talking to them years ago, and with damned good reason.all a phone call would do is tell them something they already know
2/23/2010 7:30:31 PM
Maybe it's news he doesn't want to share via text message or voicemail? Like, "so and so we both know died."

2/23/2010 7:31:01 PM
true story.but i figure even if it was something like death after the 500th time calling they'd leave a messagei'd be werided out if someone (not family) that i hadn't spoken to in like several years just started calling me a lot out of the bluei'm with jlegp.s. jleg: tried to get gunzz to bump the target thread today so you could stalk me but didn't happen in time. i miss our target stalkings[Edited on February 23, 2010 at 7:33 PM.

you're over and over and over again!
2/23/2010 7:33:11 PM
atleast it isn't a kid or std.Was the relationship with this person drug related?
2/23/2010 7:34:38 PM
if it was drug related maybe this person is trying to get their life together and needs a role model

if my mom calls me more than 3 or 4 times and i don't answer she has my sister call. then she starts freaking out thinking i'm dead and starts calling friends. yeah she's a bit much
2/23/2010 7:49:22 PM
^^ oh well see this is why we could never datei control the relationship so i will call whenever (and however many times) i damn well pleaseand you will answercause thats how i rollbut its ok we can work something out ^ geeeez. i'm probably the one like that in my family. not the freaking out part (well i do now since all that shit happened w/ my fam, but pre that i didn't). i just like to talk a lot and live alone so i annoy people.[Edited on February 23, 2010 at 7:50 PM.

hahaha, my mom just did this. I was about to call her back, but then she called again like 1 minute later. Oh well, now she'll have to wait.
2/23/2010 7:52:22 PM
I typically ignore calls when its somebody calling just to talk and call back at my convenience and I know some friends back home that do this too, so when there is something important, they'll call once and I'll ignore and they'll call back to show that its important, in which case I'll answer or they'll know I can't answer. I do the same to them, it seems to be a pretty good system.
2/23/2010 7:55:01 PM
I hate the drama that follows when you do call back or answer. The next call is like adding another layer of drama.
2/23/2010 7:55:26 PM
^^^ ugh you totally ignored my flirtiness ^^ i just want them to leave a message if its important. that is all i ask.^ seriously.[Edited on February 23, 2010 at 7:55 PM. Reason : .]
2/23/2010 7:55:34 PM
sorry jackleg. I got the message now...
2/23/2010 7:56:56 PM
my rule is call them onceif no response, call them again and leave a vmif no response then fuck 'em
2/23/2010 7:57:14 PM
i don't know, my phone never rings unless i forgot to pay a bill or someone has died. even my mom will go months without calling me. so i generally feel obligated to answer/call back/find out what the person on the other end wants.
2/23/2010 7:58:58 PM
Sorry! I've always thought you were hot and smart...but you have a boyfriend.
2/23/2010 7:59:38 PM
well i answer known numbers now because of that whole situation where i was drunk/tired/hungover and then my mom was in the hospitaland then a few months later i was drunk/passed out and my dad was in the hospitalkinda makes you feel shitty when you ignore those late night calls from your brother. my B.

god this shit drives me nuts. my aunt does this shit.. then she'll call my work cell. then she'll call my work line. i keep putting her in voicemail until she chills the fuck out.[Edited on February 23, 2010 at 8:02 PM. Reason : also, why was he in jail kawaackle?]

2/23/2010 8:07:49 PM
This is why my voicemail says:" You have reached 919-555-1234,please leave a message "beep"". That way if someone calls me and I don't answer they can't be sure who's phone they actually dialed. Then if they keep calling I get some one to answer and say they have the wrong number.
2/23/2010 8:09:45 PM
my voicemail says my first and last nameyet somehow the wakefield mcdonald's still calls it over and over and leaves messages for laquisha or laquanda or something
