We'd rather go home half an hour earlier (at 9pm).

If someone called me using a speakerphone (they were calling from their apartments, not even their offices!!), I would pretend I couldn't hear them until they picked up the phone.<br /><br />"Hello? ... Hello? ... is anyone there??".<br /><br />It worked EVERY TIME.David Dusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348019814971057479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-81679865596777754832010-01-07T11:07:43.991-08:002010-01-07T11:07:43.991-08:00I LOATH people who use speaker phones for no reaso...I LOATH people who use speaker phones for no reason.
