Another Pet Peeve

Since I'm already feeling peevish today, I thought I'd get out on paper (in cyberspace, whatever) one thing that drives me absolutely nuts.

It's when people will call and leave a message that just says, "Call me back."

Why don't they say what they want? Tell me what they need? That way if they have a question I can find out the answer before I call them back. If they need to borrow something I can round it up so I can tell them to go ahead and come over and get it.

I'm not a real big fan of the telephone and I hate wasting time!

So from now on, when you call someone - especially me, please leave a detailed message so I will know what I need to know or do before I call you back.

Unless I decide I don't want to do what you want me to. In that case it may be a while before I get back to you.

This has been your public service announcement for the day.

(You're welcome.)
