Imagine you are at work and the phone is ringing in someone else’s office.Do you answer it or not?In one survey on telephone use,51% of participants told researchers that they did.We can’t ignore the phone and for that reason,it forces its way into our life.It interrupts what we are doing and on top of that,the caller is often someone we don’t really want to talk to.However,in the survey,58% said they never took the phone off the hook,and 67% didn’t mind if someone called during a television programme.For 44% it wasn’t a problem if someone rang during a meal,while only 28% were annoyed or upset.If someone phoned in the middle of the night,40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened,while around 30% got angry.
Of course,when someone is really annoying,you can choose to hang up on him/her.This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone,but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases.Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.
