Hey! Pick up the phone!

Why is it okay not to return some one's call? For God's sake, call people back even if it's with a simple "no" or a "go away."

If someone took the time to call you. Take the time to call them back. Don't keep them hanging.

I work in the media and I leave a number of messages on people's machines looking to set up possible interviews. And there is nothing I hate more than someone who won't return my calls. Because that means, until my deadline passes, I have to keep phoning back and phoning back, leaving another message after another message, which is annoying for both of us.

So if you have "no comment," just call me back and say so. It will make both of our lives easier. Okay!!
