A 12 years old "gets" how something works, why can't a 65 year old?

[Saltire]

Fecking bloody FIL. I have explained at least 15 times in 48 hours the likelihood of Op Minimise having been implemented. But no he still keeps ringing to ask if I've heard from DH. The phones rining now and I'm ignoring and have told the Dses to ignore it too, it has caller display and it's him again

Omg my ex mil used to be exactly the same, I used to ignore her too.. He was once in northern Ireland on a 6 month tour and his aunt sent him a cheque for £10 for his birthday and she couldn't quite understand why he couldn't pop out to the bank and put it in !! Wtf !! Also when he was in afghan once she phoned the emergency line to say she needed to get an urgent message to him, turns out her cat had died !! Some people have nooooooo clue do they hahaha

Thing is newtothisstuff DH has been in 26 years. They should know by now how things happen how important security issues are etc. and they should know better than to piss me off too

Haha !!

Saltire I find blocking the phone no and then phoning them once you have heard from DH works best, with a sorry must have missed your calls

OH God - my Ils are the same! I forgot about this aspect of deployment!

Will make sure I reinstate caller display before DH deploys!!
