[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were rude AF that's why she's freezing you out. Saying you wait for an emergency to call you back once or twice or call 911 is gross. It's not even true, you know you check your  missed calls. You got what you deserve.[/quote]

OP was not rude. MIL was pushing to get the (what she perceives to be) correct answer that she wanted, and it wasn’t there. She should have stopped digging. If you keep poking at someone, you may not like the answers you get. What would you like OP to do, lie? Lie and say oh yes I do answer the phone every time it rings?[/quote]

Well, since you were there you would know, right? OP did lie. She checks her missed calls she just wanted to be an ass to her MIL. [/quote]

Can you read? OP said she would call the person back if it isn’t a telemarketer. Is it that you can’t read, or that you can’t comprehend what you read?[/quote]

Oh you missed the part about letting peopel call her back if its an emergency or call 911? Maybe read it again.[/quote]

She said she calls back if it’s not a telemarketer. MIL then brought up the “what if it’s an emergency card,” and OP reasonably responded that in the case of an emergency, someone will indeed call back a few times, or call 911. I once let a call from my brother go to voicemail when I was in Yellowstone. When he called back two more times quickly, I correctly figured out something big was going on, and called him back. He was calling because my uncle had died.[/quote]

Same here.  My neighbor called me twice one day. I let it go the first time because I was on a zoom call for work. When she rang back again right away I knew something was up and took the call.   She needed me to take her preschooler because the nursing home called and said her dad was near the end and she should come as soon as she could.   Op gave a pretty rational answer.  Not sure what pp is tussling about. [/quote]
