The Phone Poll (Jenny Jenny 867-5309)
How long do you, on average, spend on the phone with a good friend?
So we're clear: this is not applicable to calls made for work. I am also looking for the median: someone you call on a regular basis, not that person you haven't heard from in 12 years and spend 87 hours talking to.

I'm so not at all a "phone talker"... so much they could make a Seinfeld episode about it.
But I guess one exception would be my best friend... and that almost always lasts about 40min. to an hour on a weekly basis. Metro

I have to say I'm not much of a phone talker. I keep it short and sweet. When I do talk to Mister Bent on the phone it's usually quick, cuz we finish each other sentences. Comes in handy at parties when you are playing charades.
ET: Dude so yesterday--- MB: O yeah, we did that yesterday it was-- ET: I know you are so right, it's crazy cool and then when you-- MB: Turned it over it purred like--- ET: No doubt you'll want to do it again

I'm not really a phone person...so it's usually a short conversation to decide when and where we're meeting next.
Now...the conversation over breakfast can go on for hours...

I love this thread! I loved that song too. It must be the most popular phone number in the world.
I log lots and lots of hours on the phone. I have spent up to 28 hours on the phone. Plenty of time I have to switch between my cordless and my cell..each twice... I can talk to my best friend forever AFTER we have spent all day together. We have a lot of important things to discuss. lol. |

Yes, my love
I strongly dislike yappin on the phone. After about 5 mins if there isnt something to say I would prefer not to hang on and make things up. If I pick up the phone it is because I have something to say or ask.
As I have gotten older yappin on the phone is almost painful. I suppose that is because of years of IT service calls coupled by past years of long distance relationships. Now that we have Skype, and webcam capabilities. I prefer to use that method of communication over the phone. Mostly because I can see your facial expressions when I ask if you are naked. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it! |

I had to choose other because it really depends on the conversation we're having.
In general because of my hearing, unless the person speaks clearly, I don't stay on a phone...so, I must have something to talk about. If I'm talkative, stay with me because it's a rarity and I must have something to get off my mind.

Most of my phone calls are long distance: really close friends that I spend about an hour talking to every couple of months. In between we email each other.
My local friends I either see in person or IM. If I talk to them on the phone it's for something really specific, like making plans for one thing or another. Funny how things change. I used to spend HOURS on the phone!

I'm not much for phone conversations. I say what I have to say and hang up. However OMG if my best friend calls, well just so you know I walked the mall for over an hour one time listening to her gab and all I said was an occasional umm yeah, ok, I know. I was shopping with Mom and she said does that woman ever shut up? LOL She could talk the horns off a billy goat. Thing is she has a brain injury and tells me the same thing over and over. Even if I say umm yeah ya told me that she continues on with her story like she never heard me say that. LOL but I gotta love her.....
