OK, I'm probably being unreasonable. Don't actually care.
DP's nan has come out of hospital this week. She's as cheeky as ever and she knows that if there are any problems she can just ring us any time. DP's auntie (FIL's sister) lives down the road from her and for the last month has being doing all of our heads in.
Like today.
DP is out. MIL and FIL are out doing the shopping and running errands for MIL's wheelchair-bound father.
She rings and asks to speak to FIL. I say "Sorry, he isn't in, I'll have him ring you when he gets back". 15 minutes later, she rings again. I say "Sorry, he still isn't in, I'll have him ring you when he gets back". She rings again after ten minutes and disturbs me as I'm trying to get DS to go to sleep. I don't answer. She rings again, immediately afterwards. I still don't answer. She rings again, immediately. I finally give up trying to settle DS and say "Look, I mean it. He isn't bloody in. I'm really sorry, but you're disturbing DS."
Apparently "I'm really sorry, but you're disturbing DS." actually translates over the phone to "He's not in. Try his works mobile that he's left in the kitchen until someone answers".
She rings his works mobile. And rings. And rings. And rings. After the fourth time I find the phone and say "He hasn't got his phone on him. What's the matter? Is it urgent?" And she says "No, not urgent. Just would like to speak to him. Has MIL got her phone on her? I'll ring her". She then hangs up on me, tries the house phone one last time, and then we have blissful silence.
