So I get a lot of short calls on the cellphone. Meaning about a minute or two or three long, and it is a fascinating fact that like two-thirds of them end one or two or three seconds past the full minute. Fascinating. I basically never get or make calls that end 20 seconds or so after the full minute. Must be good business for phone companies still charging at 30 second intervals! Anyway, I find it quite strange.

Did you know that when two people are talking on a cell phone too each other, there is about a second delay between the conversations. This can lead too the person at the other end not hearing you starting too talk again after a break. Which means they talk over you when your’e trying too talk too them. THIS CAN BE RATHER ANNOYING. 🙂
