so i registered for hosting/a free domain name with bluehost and it all went very smoothly but then they were like:

"YOU HAVE TO CALL THIS NUMBER TO VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT (FOR FREE DOMAIN.)"

i hate telephones (which is funny because 80% of my job is answering/dialing phones)

so much omg. especially for business calls! I will choose e-mail support over anything else if I have the option. so basically I was peeing myself the entire time even though I knew exactly what I needed to supply them with to verify but omg

anyway it all went fine because it was a 'leave a message' thing, I didn't need to actually talk to someone and be afraid they would be laughing at me the entire time. lol. ):

so CC have you had any situations like this where you were totally mortified? Do you hate talking on the phone or do you love it?

Gahh, I'm the same! I always try and get someone else to ring for me XD Even if I have to ring my friends, I'm always freaked.

And also talking to shop assissants and things, though that's not tooo bad...

lol, yes. I always hope that there is an automated service when I'm on the phone instead of a real person. Which is annoying as most banks now strive to get rid of the automated phone thing >:| When I phone my bank I can tell the person I'm talking to is getting annoyed with me asking them to repeat themselves. It's much easier for me to type in the numbers or whatever instead of having to shout them down the phoneline "M!" "WHAT? N?" "NO, M. MUH. M." "PARDON?" >:| gjfgfgfil;gl;.

I hate talking on the phone and I try not to as much as possible. But there are sometimes you just have to do it

I don't really mind phones unless I'm making a doctor/dentist appointment. Then I stutter like crazy, no idea why. x_x

I can talk for hours with my friends on the phone but I very much hate any "business" calls. Don't know why though XD .

I hate answering machines.

Like, if I call someone and the machine picks up, I hang up. Then my mother is all 'Why didn't you leave a message?!'

Because I sound stupid when I do so. D:

'Yeah, Billy, this.... this is.... Angela.... long silence .... So um... yeah, call me back..............bye.'

with people i know, i'm so awkward on telephones. Whenever I make plans with friends and they call to confirm, they always end with "so... what's up" and i'm just all "NOTHING I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW BYE"

but talking to people i don't know for software support or whatever, i'm perfectly fine.

lol and my messages go on forever. i'm kind of a windbag.

I hate telephones with a passion. It doesn't matter who I'm calling or why, I just suck at calling people. At least half the time I'll completely blank on why I was calling the person too, so then I'll pause and stutter and sound stupid.

Which reminds me that there's a call I have to make that I've been putting off for about two weeks.

Phones sort of freak me out, but once I get on the phone, I'm a natural. Usually I'm afraid that I can't keep the conversation going but once it starts, I don't overthink it and talk as if I'm right in front of them.

But ending a conversation is hell. Usually I'm like, "Uh, I have to go... bye/peace..." and it gets too awkward.

I.HATE.PHONES.

They suck, and i can never call anyone ever. Its something i dread because i get nervous and there are always akward pauses. Gah!

i'm terrified of phones, TERRIFIED. i dont' even like talking to people irl it's just worse on the telephoneeeee. lol i can't even call my best friend i've known for years w/o my parents telling me to do so. :<

also when i answer they always think i'm like, someone else. i also can't leave messages because it's weird I JUST HATE PHONESSSSSs.

I hate calling people. I have no problem texting someone, but having to call them? Ehhh. D; I always feel awkward. Some people it's okay, like if they're good friends of mine or something, but if it's someone I haven't called before or someone I don't know, I just can't..

i see you are scared of people. am i right?

Pretty much, lol.

hahaha I was always afraid my friend's parents would do the same thing. they never did, but it was a frightening thought. :(

One of my fears is talking on the phone. I'm fine when it's my friend, but if I have to go through their parents I will not call. I'll go on msn and tell them to call me.

On time I had two of my friends moms calling and asking if I knew where they were. -_- It was awful. I told them I didn't, and they just kept pushing asking if I knew.

I’m totally fine talking on the phone, hell, I prefer it.

It’s taking action and talking to people face to face I can’t do. I totally freak out when I have to talk to strangers.

I always get really nervous when I have to use a phone, unless I'm just calling someone in my family. But I get slightly nervous when I need to call a relative or friend. And then when I need to call or answer the phone to a stranger, I get REALLY nervous and usually I just let someone else do it.

I like talking on the phone a lot actually. No one around me does, though. lol It's kind of unfortunate.

Talking to my friends is just fine, I can talk for hours to them about anything and everything. I'm often on the phone to my boyfriend for hours on end.

But phoning strangers is just... Gross. I hate doing it. It's really weird, I just... Don't like doing it and want it to be over as soon as possible. :c
