Has it ever happened to you???? You disconnected the phone but the phone is on

Oh my god ! so you have been caught red handed by your boy friend.I hope you will be more cautious after this incident specially while disconnecting or ending a call. I dont have any experiance like this..but this happened while i was working in my previous concern with one of my collegue.Actually my director called him and shouted this person for not attending to a job work.Being in a tensed state he has not disconnected his mobile properly and started to abuse the director in bad words to another collegue.Listenning to all his words the director inturn issued him a suspense notice.He was in a shocked state as the director was openly telling him all the abusive words.He realised his errors and apologised.finally the director revoked the suspense notice with severe warning.

Yes, this has happened to me before. Though I had placed the phone back on the receiver. I picked it up moments later to make a phone call and my friend was still on the line! I'm guessing she didn't hang her phone up and we said good bye again. Again I hung up the phone (it was corded) and this time I waited a little longer to pick up the phone before trying again. I picked it up and she was still on the other end of the line! LOL This happened 2 or 3 more times. By the last time I got a little peeved with her and told her to hang up her phone because I needed to make a phone call. I guess she heard the tone in my voice because when I picked up the phone again I got a dial tone. :P I don't think I ever had an incident like yours though...

Oh that's mighty difficult situation!! Right now, i cannot remember any of such experience , obviously i hadn't a severe one so far, otherwise i would have remembered. I guess, carefulness is life isvery important. be it in small small things or a major deal in life. It can actually save us from major accidents. I am glad that your could sort things out but not all is as lucky as you are. This reminds me, i must go and check my mobile, who knows, i am damn careless. lol..

Whatever happend with you is really unfortunate! You should learn a lesson from this incident that whenever you put down the receiver or for that matter disconnect the call through your cell phone, always make sure that call has been disconnected, before discussing SWEET things about that person who called you. LOL! It has happened with me other way round that the other person forgot to disconnect the call and I could hear his conversation with his family members, but that conversation was not about me....LOL! Once I had argument with my boss, he left the room for an urgent meeting, I was angry and started telling about his POSITIVE traits to my colleague and how he was not right in his approach and all such thing...and LO! and Behold! as I was discussing him with my colleague, the boss suddently came back, as he had forgotten some papers, he came back to fetch them...and imagine my situation, I was speechless, as I was apprehenseive that he would have heard, whatever I was telling about him to my colleague, but fortunately he did not hear the whole story and as he was in a hurry, he left again for meeting. From this I learnt that kisi ki barai karni ho to uske janaey key immediate baad na ki jaye to achcha hai, kahin vah vapis aa gaya to.....LOL! Nice Post and a learning Post!

Thank god and this had not occured to me. And now that you have made all bla-bla about your BF, and it might have turned to be an uphill task for you to pacify your BF, after this lol:) Is it so?

Yes it has and i felt awful. I was talking to my boyfriend also and thought i had hung up. A friend was at the house and i was telling her i had tried to break up with him but couldnt, i just didnt have the heart to do it. And then i picked the phone back up and realized he had heard everything that i said. It was awful! He was very upset and then i got upset and started crying because i felt so bad. Ended up we stayed together and it lasted a while longer. Now i make sure the phone is hung up! So what happened after you called him back?

Yes, the telphone companies do not care oral requests to discoonect the telephones. When you give it in writing, they say they have not received the message. It is unpleasant for any company to disconnect a phone - means loosing a customer. Telephony is a competitive world and they would like to retain the customer somehow or the other.

I would never like to go through such an embaressment where someone else is busy listening to what he was not meant to. Actually i think we fear this because we are having two faces one when someone is right there with us and second behind them. This is the reason for embarresment otherwise if we are one self then who cares whats someone else is listening. The only thing to be cared would be the phone bill.

fortunately, this never happens to me before in the past... and i hope it will never ever happen to me... if it does, i will feel very very embarassed and don't know what to do... i might not be able to talk to the person that i talk about for sometimes...

I would be pretty embarrassed. At least it sounds like you guys worked things out.

Thankfully this hasn't happened to me yet, but when and if it does, I know I would be a bit embarrassed. Especially if I had been talking about that person, all the while thinking I had hung up the phone after talking with them. Big opps and I hope it doesn't happen to you again in the future.

In the USA, if your phone is not disconnected from the last call, you cannot make another call. Phone system must be different in India. However, if he has done this 2 to 3 times, I am surprised that he admitted it. I am not used to men who admit their sneakiness. However, the fact that he did this 2 to 3 times would make me not trust him. I would start to observe other behavioral traits so you can decide if there is a lot more to him than meets the eye...and maybe actions you would not want to approve of.

it happened to me that i was over heard on phone but not the same situation that happened to you..what happened to me was i accidentally answered the phone by accidentally pressing the answer key..i always put my cellphone in my pocket because many times my bag was slashed and got my phone..so i always put it in my pocket, so there it rang and i accidentally answered it..good thing i wasn't talking about him i was chatting with friends talking about other friends..i didn't know it till i got home and he told me he heard me talking and he just hang up..he kinda figured i accidentally answered it.

something of a similar kind happened wid me...but i was in the other side f the phone..i had called my friend(a girl who stays at hostel)to wish her a happy birthday at 12 night..wished her..said bye..but she forgot to press the red button i guess..nd i heard for about 10minutes the gossip the girls had about the boys (not me ,shaaa)their crushes(not me again,shaaaa)and wierd shouts and giggling in between...had a laugh when i told her this the next day

OMG that would have been mega embarrassing, I must check my phone in future, I hope you sorted things out with him. I bet this sort of thing happens a lot, oh I shufdder at the thought :)

Yes, it is called a "dropped call" and those happen on both cell phones and land lines. When it does happen, I just hang up, call the person back and explain to them what happened.

Many times when I do not put the receiver properly it does not disconnect, I have had people calling me on other phone asking me to switch off the 1st phone.
