They say opposites attract. I didn’t marry my complete opposite, but the Mr and I are not the same. We are not the same at all.

For example, if you work in telemarketing, please call my house. And then PRAY that the Mr answers.

 

Here’s what happens when I pick up…

    My response to telemarketers would be the same as you. How can anyone spend hours on the phone with them?

    I really dislike to talk to anyone I don’t know on the phone, so I always try to leave it to Hubby to do. If I answer the phone and he is there I will quickly put it up to his ear so he has to deal with it. If we have to call for IT or something along the lines of banking I will make sure he gets that job, I’m like “oh I need to go clean our toothbrushes or something else just as ridiculous.” Have a great day!

    I have the same Mr with the love of surveys. Our house could be falling down around us, kids screaming, etc — and he’s all “Well, I’d have to give it a 7 out of 10, and let me tell you why…”

    Btw, don’t waste your blender on the phone destruction. You could be blending a strong drink while throwing the phone in the freezer. Better outcome.

    LOL…I agree. I do not do talking on the phone well. Not even to my family (ok, maybe that is a bit understandable). I seem to have two issues when talking to a stranger on the phone:
    one; I imagine what the conversation is going to be like and if they deviate from the script in my head…I get confused and seem a bit slow.
    two; they talk to me like I am an idiot. I realize that some tech issues and calls do have people who are idiots on the other end…I am not one. I know how to fix most issues…and then the conversation just goes down hill from there and I need a strong drink.

  5. Ah, the beauty of not having a land line. It’s odd how two people can be so completely alike and compatible and yet so very different. My husband and I fit that pattern.

  6. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    That about covers how hard I laughed at this.

    Oh, yes. I married the last boy scout in america, too.

    Pisses me off.. he makes me feel like shit when they are the ones who call at 9 PM on a SUNDAY NIGHT!!

  9. Lisa says:

    First of all, thanks to Jillsmo for getting me over here; I am in LOVE with this blog. Secondly, the only thing I could focus on in your drawing was the fact that you have a corded phone in the illustration, and my 6 y/o has NEVER.SEEN.ONE.

    You slay me 🙂

      I’m so glad you’re here! I owe Jillsmo a big favor for giving me the opportunity to guest post and to meet new people. Here’s a true story about me: The phone in my kitchen actually is corded. It’s from Pottery Barn, and they made it to look old timey and cool. Just one of the many decorative, faux antiques they sell.
