Habits and Phone Calls

I have this particular habit that sometimes keep me amused during a boring day.. Yes, I have a lot of habits... Some which are not so healthy, and some which are just normal habits...

Sometimes, I get anonymous call by some anonymous person... & I would answer the phone with the normal "Hello tone" with the thought of a friend in my mind... but, on the other line, I would not get back the same reply... I guess this person must have dialed my number wrongly and without them knowing... So, instead of ending the call.. I would just linger on with the phone, trying to listen to the background noise.. thinking maybe I would catch a familiar tone..or guessing what is happening on the other end.. Sometimes, I can hear my mother's voice at the end, speaking.. sometimes I can hear baby crying.. sometimes even somebody shouting.. It's kind of amusing actually..despite that this person is losing who knows how much phone credit.. well.. that's his problem.

& sometimes it took about half an hour for that poor fella to realise it... Well, I'm still grateful to that person for making the half an hour of mine amusing.. and when they realise that, the call will eventually end.. and then, it was just me again...

and that's my cue to sink back into my reading world...



p.s The slow internet connection occasionally fucked my patience..
