Satellite Phones Discussions

Sure, they're all awkward, but what is the most awkward phone call you've ever been a part of?

There was this once when a distant relative called our home to talk with my parents, but both of them was on the bathroom so I had to make small talk for what felt like hours on end. It was the most horrible thing since once we ran out of our only topic ~ the weather ~ we had /nothing/ to talk about, so there were deadperiods lasting about 30 seconds where no one said anything with me trying to act like I had a bad cough.

I'm on the phone right now with someone I'm consulting for, and I'm just sitting here listening while they organize their thoughts and go through the program I made for them. I'm not even really saying anything, and I have to wonder if they're noticing that I'm just not saying anything.

When the telemarketer calling me is white and female. I hang up anyway.
