OK This annoys me.. Ever return a call to a friend and they are ... email this discussion to a friend?

half-Drunk? Start talking bullcrap; you need their support; they believe they are making sense, but they are Just So NOT.

You want to hang up, but "they" are a friend.. how do you courteously remove yourself from the conversation, without hurting someones feelings?

I have done this too many times, I feel badly, roll my eyes and just want to hang up! But I do not, find myself on a 2 hour useless convo, I get tired:(

How do you deal with it?

Depending on the time of day, I'd say "I have to cook dinner now" and hang up or make up some excuse, like my son is calling me, I have to help my husband with something.
Screw that, I can't stand talking to drunk people. Mine time is too valuable to waste.

Just tell them "Call me back later, my boss wants to talk to me right now/I need to run after a bus/some other excuse" and excuse yourself.

Haven't tried that yet but I think you can find an excuse not to talk to them in their state. But if they really are your friends you tell them frankly that you do not appreciate talking to them while they are half drunk. angry But then then depends upon the friend you are talking to. Or like the others have said, find an excuse. Or better yet, install caller ID or an answering machine and don't answer their calls. That way you can filter out the calls that you need and the calls you don't like to take. whistle

I have failed to mention that this is a work cell I get the calls on. My "friend" is a co-worker, I cannot turn off my cell phone as a stipulation in the Company handbook says "any (company name) provided cell phones, are the property of (company) and any company paid cell phone provided to any employee; the employee is expected, and it is mandatory; to be accessible 24/7. If these company rules are not obided by, said employee can and will be subject to administrative action, up to and possibly including termination".. how do I get around that?

Oh, turn the phone on speaker phone status or loudspeaker then leave it there as you work or do anything then mumble some response when appropriate sleep. Or you can tell your friend that your company has reprimanded you as they could not erach you because of excessive calls and that's really really a good excuse thumbup.

That makes it even easier then, say that you have another call coming in. Since by company stipulation you have to be available 24/7, this means you have to answer that call.

I hate it when drinking makes someone think that they know it all or want to get arguementative.I would say what I say. I would like to talk to you when you are sober because I am sober now and the conversation will be even better for both of us. We will both be sober then. I always end the conversation at that point too. Good Luck!
