phone is my enemy

Post by Pertti »

has this very annoying thing ever happened to you? you play elma and you know you are making a good time, then suddenly phone rings and you have to answer. i was about to tell the one who called me to fuck off and never call to me again but she was my girlfriend asking about meeting me.

its just so damn annoying...

When I get in a groove washing dishes I better keep going or I'll never start up again!

Besides, soapy hands and electronics shouldn't mix ;)

Just tell her you were playing Elma. She should learn it and if not then get lost! Also you can drive when you are in phone. And in the last hand I think you just wanted to brag with your GF! And you succeeded damnit.

no one in my house picks up the phone, including me.

even if i am 2 metres away from it, i will most likely not answer.

if Pertti wanted to brag about having a girlfriend, then i think bob must have wanted to brag about being hardcore in general.
Is he too cool for elma? find out here!

Poor apu..

I will press esc most of the times, because it usually is a shitride. :wink:

yep i do that too, the phone is ½meter away. buti of course always wait as long as posible to see if someone else picks it up. if i eventually do take it, the call usually ends up ruining my ride (or maybe that isnt the reason...?!). but anyways i bet the people i talk with can here im not the least bit concentrated about what they are saying. just like when my mom comes in my room to tell me something while im playing elma it usually doesn't get through :oops:

I managed to do headbanger while phoning(1:07,xx shit time, no pipe)
But it was annoying, cause my mother was asking what my sister was saying. I guess I was very lucky. Ofcourse most of the time i died while on the phone, even when you play with two hands it's hard to concentrate on both things. BUt nowadays we don't have a telephone that you can pick up and walk away with so when phone rings i just have to leave my comp now. :(

I usually finish my run when the phone calls.
If i arent fast enough to pick up the phone after the runs is over, then sach nat care if it was important.

On topic. I usually let it ring when driving, no matter lev or time..
