its bloody RUDE to deliberately listen into a convo if someon misdials you and you can hear them

[SeeLyon]

oh YOU KNOW.
for eg my phone dials my MUM> i dont realise.
Im talking to mates - she listens in and then goes on about what i was saying

What were you saying?

I usually have a bit of a listen, but it's usually exp at work, so not very interesting, or the sound of a phone rustling in someone's pocket. What were you saying though?

oooh, it is bloody rude. But tempting. Depends how interesting the convo is and if my name was mentioned.

depends on what you were saying

i was talking nail varnish
didnt mind it apart from her going on about " ooh you were saying this...."
i thought - why were you listening

I know someone whose phone went and it was her h shaging somone

Oh, how could you not listen in?

But then it would be rude to mention it to that person

so when she answers the phone she should KNOW immediately that you have misdialled?

she shouldn't perhaps listen, and say "hello? can you hear me?" and then listen a bit more to check that it's an accidental call and not just you chatting to someone momentarily not realising she has answered?

I often get to listen to the contents of Hs pocket

ie his arse.

yes after "hello hello"
you then say " hey ho " and hang up

( well you dont SAY hey ho)

( or you can if you like but it Serves No Purpose)

It's even better when you get a massive Answerphone message

why

My sisters phone was in her bag once and she accidently rang mum, my mum answered and was shouting 'HELLO? HELLOOOO?'. This was about 7am, no-one else around and my sister was crapping herself because she could hear someone who sounded like mum very faintly shouting :o

When I was a teenager I dialed my then boyfriend who pocket answered and I heard him talking to another girl about dumping me for her. Thank goodness I was only 14 at the time and soon got over it! Was gutting at the time though.

If you ring from a landline though you can't ring anyone else until the other person has hung up, otherwise every time you pick up the phone the person that answered will still be there. In that case there is no other option but to shout. Could your mum have been doing that? She probably just thought it was funny.

I accidentally dialled my friend while I was having sex

And school while having a fishwife moment screeching at the dc

I suppose it may have been worse to call school during sex.

My friend's (then) boyfriend accidentally phoned her, she heard him talking to his best friend about how this girl he had (recently) slept with could be pregnant with his child.....

Thank god, my phone locks to prevent accidental dialling (not that I've got anyone pregnant, I don't think)

I dialled my mum once while having sex. Oops.

Told her I was running for a bus.

Don't think she believed me...

And yes in answer to your question OP, quite rude.

Whether I'd keep listening would depend on who it was and the how interesting the conversation was. I'm not so nice a person that I'd instantly hang up without at least finding out what was going on.

I'm paranoid about this happening to me...I always check if my phone is locked before I start an embarassing conversation, and even before sex! What did your mum hear you say?

oh just balls.
was the relish in which she told me that irked i think

Not too bad then...but yes, I think she should have hung up as soon as she realised you hadn't meant to call her

I couldn't not listen in. But it is bad manners.

My H phones me from his pocket all the time. I have listened to him going to the loo more than once.

Are you sure you accidentally dialled her, rather than she's just following you on twitter? [freak out]
