Just listened to a message on my answering machine. An female acquaintance of ours, asking for a favor.
I mull it over.
Hmmm. We could probably do that for them.
So I call back.
The husband answers.
"Hello?"
"Hey–"
"Oh wait. I've got another call, can you hold on a minute?"
"Sure."
And am favored by their hold music for about fifteen seconds before he comes back on.
"Yeah, I've got somebody more important on the other line." Click.
Direct quote, I kid you not. He actually said that and hung up.
Wow.

Wow…forget doing that favor!! Tell them you have "something more important to do!!"

Hope that favor they needed wasn't something only YOU could do for them. Or maybe I secretly hope it was…….

Humm. Wonder if the wife asked the favor and the husband was on the line to his boss? Weird. Trying to see the reason– Some people are simply strange

lol – on a hard bop on his head kinda way. I'd be rethinking that favor.

I thought maybe the wife made the call, and her phone is set up to forward to the home phone if she doesn't answer (mine does this) and by some freakish accident the caller id at home showed her phone number instead of mine (mine doesn't do it that way, but maybe theirs does) and so he answered and thought I was his wife? Still. Would you say that to your wife? Maybe joking…

No I would not. But- we all know some husbands are strange and/ or socially challenged. If the wife asked the favor- I'd talk directly to her. It takes a lot for me to ask a favor- and if it was a doozie (for real or just in my mind) and I didn't hear back I would assume that the answer was a no. She maybe didn't know you called. Good luck!

maybe he doesn't understand how big your beak is,if nothing else pick it and put the bugger on him..or better yet talk to his wife and ask her what she needed………….
