7. About the definition of "green" and "sustainable."
He's trying to get me to write a long article about a course he offers. (Of course.)

It's annoying as all hell.

12. He's trying to convince you to do something for him?
And he's being irritating?

You'd think by now he'd know that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Not that you're an insect or bug or anything. Oh, you know what I mean! :crazy:

17. I think he's a "squeaky wheel gets the grease" guy.
OK, he's gone now.

That's 10 minutes of my life I wouldn't get back.

10. Are you on the handset, or the number pad?
Perhaps you think all the beeping sounds he's making are really only just tiptoes on the 7 key....

20. Why did you hang up on me?
I'm only doing it because I love you.

I love you more than I love Seymour Duncan guitar pickups. Why must you torment me so?

36. Eek.
I only get the lunatics every once in awhile.

This one expected me to know who he was:

"Good afternoon, Stacie. How are you today?"
"Fine, thank you."
"This is Jim R*****. I sent you an e-mail awhile back. Do you remember?"

Oy.
