Today, I ignored my phone, as my mother has dementia and calls me 15 or so times a day, thinking each time is the first. I braved horrendous rain and gale-force winds to go to work. Turns out it was work calling to tell me not to bother coming in. FML

ok, my mother lives with my brother, she is in the early stages of demetia, she's never left alone, i do everything for her, except answer the phone 15 or more times a day to answer the same questions. i do love her, more than anything, but the phone thing, between her and the nusiance sales calls, I feel a little demented myself! And I could have done with the day off, I would have spent it with her.

The one call you ignore is one you need. Shit luck. FYL To all Caller ID people: S/he probably just left hir phone in hir pocket instead of actually taking it out to check. At that point, you may as well just answer. "Answer it anyway" people: Even if this has only been going on for a week, OP has been called 70-105 times so far. Unless you are an automatic niceness dispenser, this would get pretty goddamn tiresome for you, too.
