Default Why do people bother ....

Had this 4 times yesterday...

Me ( calling them)
Them " listen just got to <insert some lame excuse>, but I will call you back in 2 secs "

Why ? There is no physical way that they could drop the call and redial me back in 2 secs, so why bother.

And all 4 of them were mates, just in case people thought I was having a bout of cold calling

And all 4 of them never did call back....bloody friends

Did you withhold your number to actually trick them into answering in the first place?

Don't see you as a merchant banker, there are times I wish I was though, could afford some of those good things then.
