If you've had a lot of calls at work, do you jump out of your skin when the phone then rings at home?

No, in my sleep in the middle of the night. I think it's ringing and it's not. Most disturbing.

Reply:I work retail. So not alot of phone. But when I get home I don't let the microwave get to 0 and have it beep. (Sounds like the registers)
Reply:i used to clean pools for a living, and i was getting calls or beeped on my nextel all the time. people would me at 10 at night or 5 in the am, because of problems or new service or a party tomorrow and it had to be done. My boss would beep me even beyond that, he yelled at me when my phone was off or died. i still have the same phone with the same ringtones, and if that thing rings at home or i get beeped, i still get so overwhelmed. it's only been 6months tho. hopefully i'll get over it.
Reply:I don't have a phone at my house. But when I'm at my parents house, every time I hear the phone ring, I just about jump out of my skin!!! Now I know why I don't own a telephone. They make me so nervous! I know there is no reason to be so jumpy around telephones, is it just me?
