How lovely that you called
Phone calls will come at the most inconvenient time.
When you’re watching a much-loved TV programme (tempered by TV timeshift streaming)
When you’re late for an appointment (good reason for immediate ‘close down’, but requires call-back.)
But worst of all - especially for men - when you’re already eating or about to start a meal, without a mouthful of food (which would itself be an instant giveaway). Tantalising aromas are tickling your senses in glorious expectation. But being British, you’re so polite that you make it seem a perfect time to chat, and how glad you are the caller called!

Hopefully I’ll be able to unearth some other universal truths, otherwise it’ll be a series of one!

Thank you for this! I definitely can agree and resonate with the last one. Hooked to this series, more episodes, please!!
I'm afraid to suggest a few, Neville, starting with the subject on common hate points and pain points. -

I agree. My own hate points include people who don’t say ‘thank you’ for a good deed done; people riding bikes on the main road, using both hands and their eyes to text; people who don’t say ‘thank you’ for a good deed done; people on the narrow path to the allotment who barge through on their bikes - no bell - no warning.

Whoops! I seem to have repeated on of those. Don’t know how to edit my comment.

No worries, Richard. I don’t think one can edit a comment; at least I’ve never found a way!

My latest peeve is people who use the phrase "It is what it is."

Haha! (But I must admit to having used that dreaded phrase myself!🤭)

I've said it at least once or twice, but the more I heard people say it the more I realized it was such an empty sounding phrased that I banished it from my lexicon!
