Audio 607 - Being Pestered on the Phone

Getting too many phone calls? Learn how to fix the problem in this episode. Slow dialogue: 1:35 Explanations: 3:24 Fast dialogue: 19:19 Gisele: Our phone has been ringing off the hook all weekend. What’s the deal? Nobu: I think it’s Jeanine. Gisele: Jeanine…Jeanine…Is that the woman you’ve been going out with? Nobu: Yeah, it’s her. I tried to let her down easy, but she’s not taking the hint. Gisele: I see. That’s why you’ve been screening calls. Why don’t you just talk to her and tell her that you don’t think you’re right for each other, take the direct approach? Nobu: I figure if I don’t take her calls for a few more days, she’ll get the message. Gisele: Are you sure? There are 14 new voicemail messages. How many of those do you think are from Jeanine? Nobu: All of them. I let calls go to voicemail if I see her phone number on caller ID. I guess I should listen to those messages – sooner or later. Gisele: Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. Nobu: I was thinking of taking the phone off the hook for the rest of day. What do you think? Gisele: You do that and she’ll be on your doorstep to make sure nothing bad has happened to you. Listen, you don’t want to be honest with her, but you want her to stop pestering you, right? In that case, you only have one option. Nobu: What? Gisele: Tell her you’re moving to Timbuktu!
