So, my sister told me this lovely story of when her boyfriend left his phone at some eatery. She called it and a girl answered, saying, "Hi this is Suzzy!" And what did my sister do? She cussed her out, even when the girl stated that he left it at the food place. She continued to cuss her out, saying that she "shouldn't have answered the phone" and it wasn't her "right." My sister even drove up there to get the phone and chewed her out right there on the floor in full view of patrons!
Okay. One, my sister, the jerk, called the cell phone with the expressed intent of FINDING OUT WHERE IT WAS. (Those were her exact words, "I called to find out where it was.") If the girl did not ANSWER the phone, she would not have found out.
Two, if YOU lost your cell phone and then called it, wouldn't you want someone to answer it and state where it was located?
My sister seems to think that no one should "ever, ever EVER!" answer another person's cell phone. Instead, they should go through the contacts and find out a number to call. Hell, I'd be more ticked off if someone went through my contacts to do that. I'd rather them pick it up when I call.
Personally, I think the girl identified herself as Suzzy because she was the waitress that served her boyfriend and therefore, he would have potentially recognized her.
So am I wrong to be overreacting? I am just so ticked off at my sister's manners! Ugh, she probably scarred that girl for life.
What is the proper thing to do when you have a lost cell phone in your possession? When it happens to me at work and people leave the phone on the counter, I hold it in my possession for an hour before turning it over to lost prevention. If it rings, I answer, stating my name and the store and saying that the owner of the phone lost it. I have never, ever gotten rude remarks and only had relieved owners thank me for answering!
