I work on the phone and your story about me. It’s my silence in the phone, and then dissatisfied with a long pause "allo". Because I always, when I answer the call, tell the interlocutor where he got and say hello. And then I logically wait for the conversation from him to continue. But the problem is the telephone device, my or the interlocutor, and maybe the communications operator, but often at the beginning of the conversation for me and the interlocutor there is a synchronization. I greeted him, but he didn’t hear it. He begins to hear me, but I have already arranged my greeting and we both listen to the silence for a while. Or, on the contrary, a person hears the silence, calls and only then I connect to the conversation, say hello, etc. This rasynchron in a few seconds and it dulls, yes. But that doesn’t mean that your interlocutor is dumb and wasted your time and money, he’s just connected to the conversation not at the same time as you.
