People who answer the phone only to say I'm busy call me back in five minutes, because you are doing something that you could actaully stop doing and have likely stopped doing just to tell me this. Just don't answer in the first place.

But they may have been expecting a call from someone they actually wanted to speak to...

Not when I'm calling a mobile of someone who has my number so they know it's me.

I do this a lot, sometimes it's just not a convenient time to talk - you're cooking, on a landline call, on public transport, whatever. You want to talk to the person, but you can't at the very second they decided to ring you.
I think it's far ruder to hit the voicemail button and effectively ignore a call from someone you know.

Let it ring out. Or at least if you answer offer to call me back.
I avoid all this by not ever using the phone.

You and your bloody messenger pigeons!
They make nice cooing noises.

Like, no way, if someones ringing me, it's either because they want something or they want to 'chat'. I ain't wasting my precious credits for a conversation I didn't want in the first place.
Yes, I am mean, but at least I'm honest.

Credits? Are you on pay as you go? Are you from THE PAST?!

No, that's Retrograde Carpark.

My phone is definitely from the past and up until this year, I was a happy pay-as-you-go customer - having no need for electronic frippery and web shenanigans when simple texting did me fine.
I now have so many 'minutes' per month. But I still say credits, because I'm a massive 2000AD fan.
