[ANSTHRLD] To whomever just called the Star Principal Herald's House

[Kevinkeary at aol.com]

Hear, Hear, and Hear, Hear, again.
 
I get irritated with TEENAGERS calling to talk to mine who do not  understand 
that the proper response to "Hello" when calling someone is "Hello,  this is 
X" and some variation of "May I speak to Y". From an adult, it's  
reprehensible. From an adult in a Society where commitment to courtesy  and MANNERS, not 
to mention the average IQ, is considerably above the  norm in mundane 
'society', it's detestible.
 
Lady, I appreciate your words and am sorry for what you have endured.
 
Kevin

Hi  there. I am normally not on this list. I am the Star Principal Herald's 
WIFE.  As the individual in question did not leave their name, nor has the SPH  
received any emails today, I'm left to direct this at the  list.

To the individual who called my HOME today seeking out the  SPH, was 
extremely rude to me when I asked them to repeat what they said (as I  could not hear 
them) and then was even MORE rude and HUNG UP on me when I  asked who was 
calling, is requested to no longer call my home for ANY reason.  

It is Saturday. It is dinner time, which is what I was COOKING  when you 
called. Normally, the SPH would be at an event on any given Saturday,  so he would 
not have been home to take your call to begin with. Instead, he  was home. 
Guess why? He's been sick for three days. 

He was lying  in bed when you called demanding to speak to him and refusing 
to tell his wife  who you were, which he requested to know so he could decide 
if the matter was  urgent enough (for a VOLUNTEER POSITION in a HOBBY) to get 
out of bed to go to  another room to pick up the phone. He asked so he could 
decide if it was  something he could call down to me while I was COOKING to 
relay to you over  the phone. He asked so he could decide if your issue was simply 
NOT urgent  enough for any of thee above and he could CALL YOU BACK after 
dinner, or email  you. 

When asked for your identity by the family member of anyone  whom you are 
trying to communicate with, the proper response is NOT "I just  wanted to talk to 
the /Star Principal Herald of Ansteorra/, and I guess I'll  just have to 
/email him AGAIN/" delivered in the snottiest possible tone, then  HANGING UP.

Do not call my house again. This is not the first  time you've called and 
copped an attitude with me when I could not immediately  deliver my husband to 
you. I recognize your voice. From now on, please use  email. I don't have to 
tolerate that sort of behavior in my  home.

Thank you,
