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?

At least one person today acted like there was a veto. So I had to snap: "I'm on the other fucking line." Which basically made an already awkward social situation worse.

Anyway, I don't like things that beep in my ear. I hate that even more than people talking in my ear.

Ahh, well that's different.

And yeah, beeps are the creeps.
