The Telephone Waiting Game

Have any of you experienced the telephone waiting game? You have a date and they call to tell you they'll pick you up at 8. At 8:30 you give him a call to find out if he's lost. Nope, he's on his way. 9:00 comes and you're only calling because "someone just called and hung up and I thought it might be you. Nope, he's on his way.

By the time 10:00 rolls around he's no longer answering his phone. You start blocking your number, getting your friend to click over and call, and *gasp* calling his mom! After calling for the fifty-eleventh time every 3 seconds you start to wonder - "Maybe there's something wrong with their phone..."

You give them the benefit of the doubt. But that gets you to thinking that maybe they've tried to call you while you were calling them!

So you leave the phone alone. And don't let someone call while you're waiting... That will send your spirits plummeting faster than a rock and a hard place.

It's now 11 o' clock and the phone hasn't rung. You start checking to see if your phone is working properly. It is. Your last resort is the most pathetic of them all. You start calling the hospitals to find out if there's any unidentified shot victims. Not one shot victim in Compton tonight, huh? Damn!

The next day you finally get in contact with them and what's their excuse? "I fell asleep."
