Dear Coworker, I hate you because today we had a really, really important meeting and you:
a) Brought your cell phone with you instead of leaving it on your desk,
b) Left the (loud, annoying) ringer on instead of putting it on silent or vibrate,
c) Got no fewer than three phone calls during the course of this meeting,
d) Actually answered the third call without bothering to get up and go out in the hall, and
e) Because you had the nerve to tell the person on the other end “You shouldn’t call me when I’m in a meeting!”
In conclusion: it is not the person’s fault for calling you, it is your fault for being an ignoramus with bad manners.
