Thanks for sharing the sound of your snack with me from hundreds of miles away

I really appreciate it. Why finish eating and THEN make a phone call, when you can do both simultaneously? What's that you're eating...celery? Mmm...sounds good and fresh.

That's what I just had the pleasure of hearing on the phone. This was General Motors' Network Operations Center. One would think the person has had some sort of higher education. At the very least, a lesson in Kindergarten on table manners. Ever heard of phone etiquette? Ever heard of common sense, for that matter? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU EAT ON THE PHONE!!!

And while I'm at it, I just want to list the times when I DON'T want to hear from you via the phone. NEVER CALL ME WHEN:

1. You're eating.
2. You're in the bathroom.
3. You're outside on a windy day.
4. You're at a loud bar.
5. You're at a rock concert.
6. You're drunk.
   

Please make sure you finish these activities BEFORE reaching out and touching someone. Use your better judgement. Thank you.
