I cann't just help but wonder why it is that most women, if not all, have this terrible habit of not picking their calls as and when required? Some relationships have broken because of this anomaly. A recent case which prompted my opening this thread is one that recently happened in my neighbourhood.

This particular contractor had travelled to Eket to finalize and secure a contract from an oil firm. As fate would have it, he forgot a log book which contained some vital details necessary to nail the said contract at home. Having arrived the premises of the company, he tried going through the quotations and other documents for the last time, only to realise something was amiss. He then tried calling the wife's line so she could quickly read out the details over the phone to him. Tried as he did, the call was not picked. This helpless man called his wife for more than 67 times in the space of 2 hours all to no avail!

The most painful thing about the whole scenario is that another contractor had to be given the job. As it were, the couple are enmeshed in serious marital distress. For the past two weeks the man has travelled to god-knows-where to revaluate things. And the wife is smarting real bad from her idiocy. Imagine what 36 million naira could have been used to achieve in that family! SMH.

The second incident among others which I may not be able to mention still haunts the mother till today even though it has been more than 7 years since the incident happened. A young graduate was travelling from Port Harcourt to Enugu when he got involved in a ghastly motor accident. On searching the victim's phonebook the mother's number was easily located. They tried contacting her severally; for more than 4 hours or so, all to no avail. The first aid he was given at a peripheral hospital had worn out, he needed to be rushed to a hospital with better facilities. Doing so demanded one's wallet to be up and doing, coupled with such specialist hospital being far away from the village. In such instance, mostly a family member is
needed to undertake such responsibility.

The said mum wasn't someone to pick calls from an unknown number. Coupled with her bad phone habit. The young man died before the girlfriend and others could locate him. The mother is still being haunted by that foolishness as I type this and never switches her phone off even when delivering seminar......The two incidents are just to keep it brief. Some men may be guilty of this but it's so rampant among the female folks. So women in the house, why are you people so fond of not picking your calls immediately? What's with the bad phone habit? Let's roll maturely plssssss.

I came here to know why too......!

hmmmm. Questian 4 da gods. Anyways very soon we wld knw nd y did u say 'lets roll maturely pls?' @ op. Abi u dey fear? Ur scared of uzeless coments frm space bookers abi?

Not all ladies though, I dnt pick up my calls when the caller in question doesn't talk reasonably or calls at wrong time. Some people sabi disturb sha. It could also be that the lady doesn't like the person calling her period

You want it to look like she'd been sitting all day, anxiously waiting for you to call her? Doing that once in a while is very important, cos it portrays you a busy person...but if the person calls for more than 10times, it could be that something is at stake so I just pick... But for the two cases you cited, maybe the husband annoyed his wife before leaving...and maybe the mother wasn't with her phone.

Really? My dear am telling you what happens in 8 out of 10 serious relationships, maritally and otherwise. This is not a matter of the man annoying her anything. Don't you think trying to create such an impression is outright childish? "maybe the mother wasn't with her phone" you said? Guess you ignored where I said she was fond of ignoring calls from unknown numbers? Ever wondered why women also lose their phones more than guys? It's called handset for a reason dear.

Its called handset. You must have it handy. When i call and you dont pick i might accept excuses initially, but when it becomes regular i can only deduce two things i.e disregard or foulplay. And its all i need to drop the relationship like hot metal and dust my shoulders clean. Its either my way or you are out of the way. Speed lane things!
No time for time wasters

woman mostly answers call base on very important person, else thy feel disturbed cos of number of men disturbin thm, so if u dnt hv anytin important to giv or say dnt call thm frequently else u 'll feel embarassed d type of treatments u 'll receive.

Soo anoying.

Seriously O.P.. U re very right..
Ysterday was on site wiv dis married dude @ agbara, when we decided to leave, d car had issues prompting us to leave around 6pm.

Okay. I understand where you guys are coming from. She can be forgiven if it's a new relationship. Here, am talking about long standing, real relationship; I mean marriages and fiance-fiancee stuff. Some people don't deserve to have a handset sha.

Why are you women particular about this issue of being annoyed? I assumed you are not yet married dear cos if the reason is just being annoyed, trust you me, you are setting the tone for regrettable chain reactions. Can you stand the same treatment? As a matter of fact, I have one of the sweetest fiancee you can find. And we hardly have problems. Yet she, and most of the female folk I know (including my sisters and female colleagues), have this as their weak point!

Ehen naw, why will anyone pick a call from an unknown number? Didn't you hear of that killer number ish? If you want to call her, text her to tell her it's you before calling.

If I'm the husband of the lady in the first scenario, I will charter a pickup van and send the lady's property to her father's house.

Buh seriously if I did lose such contract, I don't think she wuld see d kettle or even remember she had 1...

Dunno about her!

But I always pick my calls, unless its someone I don't wanna talk to -then I usually either busy the call or let it ring (my ring tone is one of my fav songs) .

It bothers me when folks make it a habit not to pick calls but at the same time-they probably need more mobile manners or they just don't wanna talk to ya.

Op you really didn't have to say "women" on this issue. You coulda simply said "folks or people".

You're obviously seeking drama!
