But what if you call them in the middle of their lunch or whatever?

They shouldn’t answer if they’re eating. It’s not rocket science. Just because the phone rings you are not compelled to answer it every single time. I’d be perfectly fine leaving a message and having them call me back.

Again, it’s not bothering them to answer and eat. This is a you problem.

Totally fine with it being a me problem. I solve it by hanging up. Mid chew if need be. It’s gross and I have no problem hanging up. Call me back when you’re done grazing.

I'd much rather talk to happy people who enjoy food than a stuck up b&tch like you.

Also, I dare you to say how gross they are to the person on the other end. You won't because you're a coward.

I flat out say, "Call me back when you're done eating. I'm not listening to you chew". Enjoy your food you cow.

Hahahaha, and I would never, ever call you back you miserable c#nt.

Stop grossing people out.

If you call me in the middle of my meal I will continue to eat. If you don't like it say goodbye and hang up. It's not that complicated.

Why don’t you simply finish your meal, and then call back? Or text and say, “I just sat down to lunch, can I call you back in 20 minutes?” It’s not that complicated.

Back in the day, if the phone rang during dinner, we didn’t answer it. People left a message on the machine and we called back. It’s basic civility.

Sounds like you are bothered by a whole lot in life. Again, if it bothers you, hang up.

NP. I’m a new poster. Genuinely, can you answer the question: when you are in the middle of a meal, why do you simply call the person back? Why would you not finish your meal before taking a call?

Why do you leap to answer your phone every time it rings? Chill. I don’t feel beholden to answer every phone call immediately. If I’m busy, I call someone back. Pretty simple.

Because it's not bothering me to eat and talk. You're the one bothered. I can do both at the same time just fine. I get to decide when I answer calls. Not you.
