No more phone calls
Something’s happened with the phone settings in my car. When someone calls, they still hear the signal for a second even after I’ve answered.
No big deal, no one’s even mentioned it, except one colleague. And for the last couple of days, he’s been calling me more often than ever. Every time I pick up, he opens with:
“I hear you still haven’t fixed the phone thing.”
Sometimes it’s not the issue itself that people get stuck on. They actually enjoy it. They’d never admit it, of course, and they may not even realize it themselves.
But it’s true. They get a little rush from “being right”. They love pointing fingers, or preferably the whole hand, and saying:
“I am right. You are wrong.”
I’ve fixed the phone now. Not because it was a problem or because I’d heard enough about it. I did it to take away his unhealthy way of feeling good.
He hasn’t called since.
