[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, I like the idea that if they ask me to call, I can control when I call instead of waiting around for them to call me. And once I call and leave a message I've done my part and I don't care if I miss their call back. [/quote]

This works if they say something like "hey can you give me a call when you're free?" or "I wanted to talk about the dinner plans -- can you call when you have a chance?"

But what some people will do is say "please call me" or "can you call me please." It comes off like an order and also is so free of context that it makes me think something's wrong and that I need to drop what I'm doing to call them. My parents will do this and I'll worry that one of them is hurt or someone died or something horrible happened, and I'll rush to call them and they'll be like "we hadn't chatted in a while and I was wondering what you were thinking about for the 4th of July this year." It's sooooo annoying.[/quote]

Same. Yep. I just posted about my mom doing this.
