Free Phone at My House!
It keeps happening, again and again. We pick up the phone and someone else is already using it. We try to strike up a conversation with them and they hang up. We notice the phone is in use, we pick it up and they are annoyed at us. It has gotten to the point where if they are on the phone I sing to them, badly, on purpose just to annoy them. Sometimes they just hold down a key on the phone to answer back. Tonight, I will be reading from the Monty Python All The Words book. I'm starting with The Lumberjack Song. With feeling.
Why does this sort of thing always seem to happen to us? Are we the only people in that junction box who have a land line? I have called the phone company so if the trend holds we will have no dial tone soon. Then I call back and we go back and forth for a week or so and then we get our phone back, and we're charged for the privilage.

I understand that you are talking about a landline, but do you have a cordless phone plugged into it?

Sometimes. We have experimented by changing channels on our cordless sets, and unplugging the cordless sets and trying things with cords only. Due to a lightning strike last year blowing up our old cordless set, we even got to try with two diffrent models.
Same weird stuff.
