Do you freak out when your significant other, boyfriend/girlfriend, wife/husband, friends/whoever - doesn't pick up their phones and you know they should?
After calling a few times, no answer or phone call back to you do you worry?
I hate it with my boyfriend doesn't pick up his calls, texts back or lets me know especially if it's late but I know he's safe, lol! However on the other hand if I don't pick up my phone he gets super mad! But he can not pick up his.... he generally doesn't hear his phone or doesn't carry it around- he thinks cell phones are a waste of your life since now a days people are hooked on their phones, lol!

I do freak out!! I mean if I keep calling and they don't answers, it worries me. But like your boyfriend, I don't usually answer my phone because it's mostly on vibrate mode and even if I see the missed call, I don't call back, not to be rude but just coz I forget. Butif the don't call back on the other hand, I go ballistic lol

hey there.. i usually pick up late or txt late if i cant pick up my phone.. but ive never had a friend scold me bout such.. lol.. coz they all know that i was nvr linked with my phone in the first place.. but if i had a girlfriend, im pretty sure that i would always be on the look out on my phone since i dont want to disappoint my girl.. well that is if i will have one.. lol :) but for now i dont care much about my phone unless im waiting for something important..

This wouldn't give me cause for alarm or the need to freak out. i would just assume it meant they were to busy to answer the phone. they will get back to me.

I don't usually freak out if it is a missed call but if he does not respond after several hours my thoughts usually are that something could be wrong. Thankfully it is usually because the phone is on vibrate and he did not hear it.
I especially love when he calls me and so apologizes for not having called sooner because he says he knows I get to worrying. lol
If I don't answer he thankfully does not convey being upset he will call me several times in a row, then text then call again and then leave message. This is his routine after 6 years of living together. Never fails. Guess I am loved. lol.

Yeah my husband gets really angry when I do not pick up my phone but it's mainly because I didn't hear it, but sometimes I get made when he doesn't pick up his. I guess it's that feeling of getting ignored that kind of drive people to being mad because it's what drives me there.

My lady gets really angry if I don't answer my mobile when she calls. I'm not even out that often, but I always leave it on vibrate and don't always feel it (usually because I'm walking and carrying kilos of shopping...).
If I miss three or four attempts, she'll be absolutely berserk by the time I get home - normally because she's worried but sometimes because she wanted to ask me to pick something up or do something else for her while I'm out.
Me? I don't care if she doesn't answer. I'll pop her a silly text to make her laugh and just the thought of her smiling while she reads it is enough for me.

I get angry too at my boyfriend if he doesn't pick up but he doesn't understand why but he gets mad at me for not picking up, lol.
Thanks for sharing your situation :)

Yes i do freak out during the initial stages of my relationship. But whenever i did such things i got explanation my girlfriend used to be in some or other work busy. I know its really crazy when they dont pick up the call but i try and understand that may be she might have kept the phone on vibrate or silent mode or someone else must be at her side. For a time it makes me crazy then i literally cool down. Now it has become a habbit for me whenever she doesnt pick my call i understand that there must be some reason.
