Does not have an app that automatically mutes the mic when you start to sound stupid. |
Instead: wild, verbal flailing.
Is it weirder:
1) to just stagger my way through to some sort of cobbled together end? Like, "Anyway, my next pap smear isn't until February, so just give me a call back about that retaining wall for our yard whenever you can."
Or
2) make the rewinding-a-cassette-tape noise and start again from the beginning?
Or
3) Stop, and say, "I feel like I'm veering off track here. What I really meant to say was, Hi my name is Erin and I'm inquiring about your carpentry services. Please give me a call at your first opportunity."
Or
4) hang up mid-sentence, call again, and use an alternate voice to leave a more appropriate message?
Perhaps the simple fact that I wrote this list with these options gives you some insight into how bad I am on the phone.
Edited to add: I just got a call back from the first contractor I left a message for today—the message that wasn't a total gaffe—and it was the guy's wife calling to tell me he had a heart attack and died two weeks ago. So. I'm hanging up the telephone now, literally and metaphorically.

I like your #4.
A million years ago when I was single, I remember calling a girl and getting her machine. My message started out ok, but I forgot what my phone number was. Needless to say the ending was as bas as it gets. Not sure how I stopped being a single guy.
That's so sad.
The guy that died, not you.
I generally do a #1.
This is why I call NO ONE. Luckily I get out of calling most folks stateside, but occasionally I have to call Koreans, and it gets really awkward, really quick. (To clarify, it's usually to order pizza- "One LARGE-Y, SAUSAGE-Y pizza. LARGE-Y. SAUSAGE-Y. Ok. *click* Somehow they always know where to deliver it and I never have to give them that info...)
This is a riot. I either panic and hang up as soon as I hear the beep, or I start talking and then think about what I'm saying and screw myself all up.
Which is why I prefer email! :-)
