ring...Ring...RING
I have added a new rule to my relationship do's and don't list — I will not call my significant other 26 times in one day.
As of right now, you are (hopefully) thinking that number sounds fairly crazy. Who, in their right mind, would really want to call someone that many times — in one day?
Well, I have found that person. And she comes in the form of one of my friends' ex-girlfriends.
Which brings me up to this weekend and the new rule. My guy friend's phone started ringing on Thanksgiving and didn't seem to stop all weekend. The holiday was going to be a relaxing day with me, my BF, my guy friend and one of the boys' decades-old friend (who also happens to be a girl). We had a blast — and even managed to ignore the phone. One that rang 13 time late Thanksgiving afternoon.
It started up again on Friday — and continued 26 times. Not once did my guy friend answer the phone but it didn't deter his quasi-ex from continuing to hit re-dial. I have to repeat this — 26 times. To top it off, when he finally did talk to her, she accused him of wanting to sleep with the other girl who was with us. Ridiculous.
I can't fathom calling anyone 26 times in one day. Have you ever been that person? Or on the receiving end of that craziness? I don't call anyone more than two times in a day if they haven't answered the first time — and even then, it better be pretty important. What rules do you have regarding phone etiquette?

Ugh. Twenty-six times in one day is TOO much. That's on the fast track to remind your friend why he's NOT going out with her anymore. Although I will admit I have left a voice mail and text message at the same time if my guy did not answer. This is obviously dumb because he would probably get both of them at the same time. Yet I do it anyway.
I have a friend who used to talk to her boyfriend anywhere from 10-15 times a day on the phone. I never understood why. What the hell can you possible have to say by the time you call your boyfriend the 15th time of the day? Build a little suspense in your relationship. Maybe let something happen in your life before you call again. And for the girl who won't stop calling her ex...move on already. Obviously he has if he isn't answering. Find a new friend to call.
