My mother works as a receptionist and often rings me from work and it goes like this
My phone rings;
Me:"Hello"
Her: "Hi, can you hold?"
WTF???? You rang me!!
Cue dodgy phone music for a minute....
Her: "Sorry about that. Well, how are.....Sorry can you hold again?"
Cue more dodgy phone music for a minute....
Her: "I'm back. So when are you...Oh hold on, sorry TOMMY CAN YOU TELL JIMMY THAT MARY'S HERE TO SEE HIM?? Sorry, anyway just rang to tell you that Joe Bloggs died last night and..what do you mean who's Joe Bloggs, you know Joe well, he's the 4th cousin of the milkman's sister-in-law's cat...and by the way the cat's not in great shape either.
And so it goes on. Would avoid answering the calls but it comes up as private number and I always get caught

My Mum & Dad do the exact same thing. I'll be in the middle of a sentence and she'll start talking away and then when i do manage to get a sentence out I have to repeat it nearly every time. Sometimes I just say everything twice in a row just to be sure I'm heard
It's funny they don't do that to H2B!!!
Love em to bits though

my mams the same she also is the worst person to send a text to when you say /ask her something all she ever texts back is "ok" just "ok" its become a bit of a joke in our family at our stage as we're convinced she only knows how to work those two buttons!
