Once someone called my house phone and without looking at the Caller ID, I answerd.
It was a guy who was psychotically obsessed with me.
Well, I am so used to talking on my cell phone (I hardly ever used the house phone)
I said after about 3 minutes, "Hey I am in a bad reception area, you're cutting out. I will call you back when I get better signal."
He busted me out.
I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I said (fake giggling) "I was going to see if you'd fall for it. Everyone else has. I was joking."
He laughed and then I stayed on the phone with him for an hour, feeling bad.
