[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soooo...really? You would all drop everything and run to a different floor of the house to answer a call any time your phone rings? I’m flabbergasted. Honestly. [/quote]

Said nobody. But I also don't make rude comments like "if its an emergency they can call back a few more times or just call 911". I would say something normal to questioning MIL like "I'll check when I get a chance, too busy right now." and leave it at that.[/quote]

How exactly is it rude to say “If it’s an emergency, they can call back a few more times or just call 911?” Please explain how this is rude.[/quote]

Because it's idiotic. Only people close to you call you in an emergency your spouse, parents, kids, etc. If your own mother fell down the stairs and tried to reach you would you let her just resort to 911? Nobody does this, it's not even a normal response. [/quote]

My mother is 1000 miles away, so if she breaks her leg she should def “resort to 911”, cause I can’t do shit from where I am.[/quote]

I am a teacher-- one time a student's phone rang in his backpack and he starts digging it out. I said, "You know you can't take phone calls in class." He looks at the phone and says, "But it's from my grandma." And I said, "Well you can call grandma after school." Another kid pipes up, "What if it's an emergency?? What if his grandma is having a heart attack?"  I said, "THEN GRANDMA NEEDS TO CALL 911"  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]
