Now, what I want to know is, who is Monica, why does a 26 year old New Yorker
want to be friends with a 41 year old Aspergers guy living in Australia,
how did she stumble onto my MySpace page when I've barely logged on there a dozen times in the last year and if she bothered to read it, why didn't she run screaming into the hills? :?:
(It's a pretty weird introduction and picture!)

Must be a spammer.

People and phones.....its weird. If i call someone,
i let it ring 3-4 times, if no one answers i hang up,
and thats it, then i stop. Maybe i try once more
another day.

Some people call and let it ring and ring and ring,
then they wait 8 minutes and do it all over again.
If people dont pick up the 20th time you call, you
really should stop calling i think. Theres this number
thats been calling me lately, dont know who it is,
dont care who it is, i have nothing to say. My phone is
on silent all the time, so i just notice someone have
called now and then when i look at it. This number has
called so many times the person in the other end have
to have some serious brain damage or something.
Call all you want, no ones gonna pick up. I decide who
i talk to and the more you call the less i want to talk,
i see it as nagging.

The rules are simple, call once, let it ring 3-4 times and
then hang up. If no one calls back within a day or three,
they want nothing to do with you and you can delete the
number, the end.

i agree.
my girlfriend does this.

my phone rings 16 times then the answering machine answers.

i tell her to let it ring out, but then to give it 1/2 hour before she tries again.

she does not. as soon as it stops ringing, it starts again and she keeps ringing over and over for about 10 mins continuously.
it is very annoying.

as i am about to step in the shower it starts and is still ringing when i finish.

as my meal is ready to be taken off the heat, she starts ringing, and i can not answer because my food will go cold.

i maybe watching a very interesting thing on tv while eating, and the phone is constantly ringing as i am eating and trying to listen to the article on TV.

my wall connection is behind heavy furniture, so all i could do is take it off the "hook" (as they say), but that would alert her to the fact i am home due to the sudden change in my phone to the "engaged" tone.

when i am actually on a call, there is a "call waiting" facility.

so i maybe on a call to work taking specifications from a high up boss on what he wants in his system.

when tammy calls me while i am on the call, i get a "beep beep" every couple of seconds.
this obliterates what my boss is saying to me during the beeps.

they can not hear the beeps on the other end. they do not know why i have to keep asking them to repeat what they are saying.

eg: what i will require is a "beep beep" type of system that will...
me: sorry?
b: i said i want a "beep beep" type of system that is capable of....
me: erm sorry i did not get that
b: christ! i want a system that will "beep beep" all the data we receive from....

now i could say either my phone is faulty (which does not engender credibility as i am a computer programming contractor), or say the truth that i have a crazy girlfriend who can not be told to ring after 5, or to ring only once.

both are not good to use as excuses, so i am in agreement with you that people who want to ring you should desist after one attempt.

""call waiting""

Something the devil made one day he had some spare
time and was in a rotten mood..

I`m actually getting interrtupted in the middle of a
annoying call by another annoying call :x
jeeeez - which is why i have disabled that service
and almost every other also from my phone, it
even refuses to accept incomming mms-messages :D
my kind of phone, its very stern and picky about who
it lets thru.

"""now i could say either my phone is faulty (which does not engender credibility as i am a computer programming contractor), or say the truth that i have a crazy girlfriend who can not be told to ring after 5, or to ring only once. """

In a job situation, those calls can really mess things up, not just the
call, but as you say the explenation one has to come up with. Have been
in such situations and have never seen a boss that likes that kind of
things. Cant mix personal life with buisness, not in front of the boss
anyway.

Wat puzzles me sometimes is that people appear to be thinking
"the more i call, the more likely i am to get a hold of him",
kinda like when you push the elevator button...and then push
it again..and again, as if that makes the elevator come faster :lol:
Like the man in the stall said to the man waiting;
"give me time baby"

omg :lmao:

Skandinavian people on vacation in warmer places,
what an awful sight that is :lol:

Theres a tv-show here, people on vacation with a
camerateam behind, and its just way way to much
alcohol, being really really loud and do all the things
you cant do at home :lol: And, the language, they
say things like "do you have summetone?" when asking
if the phone works. "Summetone" being a norwegian
word for that tone you hear when you pick up a regular
phone (not cell) :) If i`m in another country and
people ask "you from Norway?" i always deny! :lol:
No no, i from [insert country] or something, i`m not
one of those drunken clowns :lol:

This pic illustrates the mentality that rages as soon as
we set foot on foreign soil and it`s vacation time

"Where`s my beer!! me want beer, now!! more beer dammit!!""

Good idea: putting my sig in the ashtray instead of holding it

Bad idea: not checking if theres a piece of gum stuck to the
lit end of my sig when i pick it up again :eew:
*throwing up*

tasted like menthol-sigs, only much much worse

i was watching a show on discovery science about apollo 13.
i saw the nasa engineers and scientists all smoking cigarettes.

even in times of dire trouble, when there was the possibility that the mission was lost, they still thought to drag on their cigarettes.

it is amazing that people are so addicted to nicotine.

a person would finish his cigarette even if he was watching an asteroid heading his way.

smoking is rather silly i think.

like one may say "just let me finish my smoke before you execute me"

for what reason?

the memory of the satisfaction of that cigarette will be emptied from the skull of the executed person upon his death.

but he still wants to finish it before he is shot.

nicotine is a sinister vice.
