Who would ever invent such an awful thing?

Call waiting is horrible. It makes the phone at least 50% more annoying than it otherwise would be, and is an excellent enabler of drama, since it forces you to decide, in a split second, whether the person you're talking to or the person beeping through is a higher priority. I can think of no good reason for its existence.

I should probably cancel it, huh? Why did I even sign up for it in the first place?

Rob and I don't have it. The only times I miss it are when I'm expecting an important phone call and then have to be worried about the line being busy each time I'm on the phone.

I try not to be on the phone for very long—any more than a few minutes and I'm heading into stress territory.
