I'd hang up. Maybe he forgot he had you waiting. I have done that. |

In the meantime I won't call this guy for a while. There's something to be said for forgiveness, but being a doormat is not good either. |

I am SO lucky cell phones don't work here. :Xmasestar I don't even know how to operate one! Since this isn't a serious addiction issue, I'll be frank: you bring this misery upon yourselves by being slaves to technology! :c003: *is currently browsing SR on her phone* It's not all bad :) |

Doesn't sound as though it was intentionally malicious, however, that doesn't mean it was appropriate either. I usually follow this axiom: "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me"... I ignore, unless the offending behavior becomes habitual. |

It's not a her, it's a him, and he's not an alcoholic. He's a long standing friend... nothing to do with SR. |
