I recall, about 6 months ago, an internet friend called me on phone, unfortunately, at that time I was having a great time with my ex-boyfriend...in bed. my mobile phone rung... and I had to pick it, I couldn't exactly get what that internet friend was talking about, so I shut the phone, and told me ex-bf:"go on!" but he looked very disgusted and he wasn't in a good mood anymore. he asked me:"who was that?" I answered:"just some internet friend, no big deal."

My ex-boyfriend sighed:"Poor b-astard! why did he call people at the wrong time?"

I guess some of you people suffer the same problem as me, what's your reaction then?

Why didn't you turn the phone off? And if you were having such a great time, why is he an "ex" Wink.

I'm wondering that myself. Shocked Embarassed Rolling Eyes
Unless you are a doctor on-call (you must rush to hospitals for emergencies), there are times when you can just let it ring and go to voicemail.
(BTW, my wife gets pissed when I answer the phone during dinner. I've learned not to do that.)

I don't always remember to turn the phone off before doing that. Especially when you are in a really good mood, you hardly remember the phone thing.

when we were having a great time, he WAS my bf, but now he is NOT my bf anymore, we broke up about 3 month ago.

And Dixie, yes, you know who he is Laughing

In the beginning, I didn't pick the phone, but it kept ringing, and it sounded really annoying, so I had to. Crying or Very sad

I guess so.

He wouldn't turn off the phone either when we did "stuff", because his boss called him very often, for work, even in off-day. and another time at his appartment, we were having a great time again, in the middle, his boss called him! he had to pick up the phone, his boss asked him on phone:"come here and we will start some assignment...wait....your voice sounds very weird, what happened?" Laughing he said:"nothing, I am fixing some pipe!"

Same here. Although in my case, it isn't the boss who calls him, but his dad! Everytime we are doing stuff and the phone rings, I think, there's your dad again!

That sounds like his dad is peeking you guys doing stuff Laughing

How about you guys offer his dad a schedule of sex, that way his dad won't call him at the wrong time? I guess his dad would like to have such a schedule, he must be able to understand, since he is Jordi's dad Laughing

Why would thay be giving their dad sex? They'll get a prostitute to visit a couple times a week, like a housekeeper? Shocked
That's weird - even on the phone. Confused
Haha!
