Call Waiting -- It's Just WRONG!"Can you hold a minute, I'm getting another call?" How many times have you heard that? I think it is just WRONG! In other words, "There might be somebody more important than you calling, so I would rather talk to them." Now tell me that is not rude!
Who invented call waiting anyway? I'm all for multi-tasking but in this case it's just WRONG. We have call waiting on our phone, but I just ignore the beeps. I figure if it's important they can call back later, if it's not important then I'm not missing anything anyway.
So next time you hear that little beep in the middle of a conversation, just ignore it.

I tend to ignore our call waiting...however, if my 14 year old daughter isn't home, I do "click over" to make sure it isn't her in need. :) Otherwise, I do agree.
You must not have teenage girls in the house. :o) My parents got call waiting when I was a teenager because otherwise my dad could never get through to tell mom he was on his way home from work and did she need him to pick anything up at the store.
And call waiting can be important when you're trying to make plans with friends and calling lots of people to make arrangements.
When I'm not expecting a call, I generally ignore it, like you. But I do think it's worth it for all the times it's come in handy.
