Carla calls and I hang up

Tonight @ 9:59p.m. - House phone rings
Me: I'll get it. (Wonders in my mind who it could be... Carla... probably... don't know anyone else that would call so late).
I pick up cordless phone, click talk, then click end. I go back to writing up my discussion board post.
Sister: (She is standing in my room anxious to know who it was). Who was it?
Me: Carla.
Dad: What did the turkey want?
Me: (Bursts out laughing!) To be hung up on?

Tonight @ 10:01p.m. - phone rings again
I am frustrated now as I was actually come up with a halfway smart, as opposed to half assed discussion board post answer for my class. I walk over to the phone and pick it up.
Me: What?
Carla: Oh...........
Me: Did my mom tell you she met a new AVON lady a few weeks back, and this gal calls about 12 hours earlier than you do, and leaves messages on our answering machine? (Click end on the phone)

Told her off... maybe not...

@11:07 - phone rings again
All are in bed and have been in bed for at least 20 minutes. I am up looking at porn on the computer. Phone rings.
Me: Hello. Everyone's asleep. Thanks for waking us up.
Click.
I open up my bedroom door and decide to use the bathroom. My dad is up after being sound asleep (he went to bed at 10:10p.m.) asking why she was calling at this time of night.

So I guess my mom found a new AVON lady a few weeks back, but still felt obligated to buy from Carla. My mom was upset with my dad and I for not letting her talk to Carla since nobody was in bed yet. She feels sorry for the old woman. She was in the hospital 2-3 weeks ago for an allergic reaction to some medication and now has to make the choice about home hospital or going into a resident facility I guess? She called my mom about 2 weeks ago about 7p.m. and went on this pity trip for about 30 minutes with my mom. I'm sure this won't be the end of this lady...

Mike: This episode brings curses to mind to the line "Hello, Avon calling." Don't Mess with Mike! Hasn't Carla learned that yet?

Do you want my brother to "solve the problem"? I know he would. For free, probably. ;)

Well the real bad thing is that she interrupted a perfectly good boner. Now THAT'S unacceptable.

Wow, what kind of person is that persistent?! But I had to lol at the part where you were looking up porn when she interrupted you. That IS quite an interruption!
