Telephones!

ZupiCo · March 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">The worst invention there ever was.</div> Ok, it goes like this.
I joined an empty server.
Another guy joins. He goes alien and I go marine.
I begin to build stuff when another guy joins.
More guys join aliens.
He comms, and gives me order to build a TF outside alien base.
I begin to build the TF, when the phone rings.
"Not now", I think, but I have to answer.
When i answered, this happened.
Skulk comes.
Skulk bites when I were talking.
I die.
Commander gets **** on me when i can not kill a single skulk and leaves.
Marines looses bigtime.
At that time I would like to <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'> both my bud and my phone.
Telephones are the devil.

Get a cell phone which is never an arms length away.

I think the moral of this story is to buy an answering machine and let it pick up the calls while you are playing games.

Tsungfai · March 2003

Or turn off the ringer.

Dubers · March 2003

Err... Whaterver. Answer the phone is waht I'd do. Seriously is gaming more important than keeping in touch with your family and friend?

No stupid answeres pls.

this topic couldve been intresting if something exploded somewhere......in the story.......

ZupiCo · March 2003

Actually, this story wasn't meant to be fun or to have a point.
It was just meant to point out that telephones are evil.
And BTW, all my friend asked was how to install a game.
It wasn't worth it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

I actually have an unlogical fear of telephones. Must be a gamer thing. Telephobia!

well, when a telemarketer calles, you start pressing buttons as fast as you can, and see how long they stay on the line...
I even had a bet once, and lost..... the #(*#er stayed on for over a minute

No. What you do is ask him which register he used to acquire your phone number. Atleast where I live (in Finland, btw), the direct marketing laws require that the marketeer must tell you the register he acquired your info from upon demand. As I worked as a telemarketeer for a week some years back, I know for a fact that most of the time the "customer register" is actually a phonebook. It's always funny to be able to get them to admit that.

When a telemarketeer calls:

pick up and speak in a childish voice

TM: Hello is your mommy home.
ME: Which one?

TM: Is Mrs. Waffles home?
Me: Mommy is dead.
TM: Oh I am sorry is your daddy home?
Me: He is in the bed room with mommy.

They never call back <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

BWHAHAHAHA!!

Usually telemarketers dont answer until the second hello, so I just say hello once, wait a few, and hang up.

One time I got a wrong number at 3:00 in the morning, it woke me up, so I cussed the guy out, shouldn't have been calling around at 3 in the morn...

Oh, what is fun to do with telemarketers, le them give you there pitch, and then put the phone down, walk away, come back, and if they are still there, ask them to do it again, walk away, come back after a while, and if they are stil there, tell them your not interested.

I still think phone sex is better atleast you get something out of it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>
