Why do phones always cut out at the important parts?
Posted: 7/29/2005, 6:10 pm
So I was participating in a conference by phone... and every time someone tried to tell me something, most of their words were cut out.
I say, "I can't tell what you're saying, the phone is cutting out!"
And then I hear clearly, with no cuts, "Oh, okay. Well, I will call you later then."
What the hell? The phone will let me hear that? And then there's the debate . . . what do I do now? Do I say no wait, it's getting better, only to be dealing with more cutting out a minute later?
Or do I respond by saying alright, goodbye, letting them know that I heard what they said that time? Might that make them think I was lying about the phone cutting out to begin with? Frustration!
What do you do in this situation?
