Ringing people by mistake from your pocket...
I used to be paranoid about doing this as I heard so many horror stories of people ringing up their mum whlist on the job by mistake, etc that I changed my handset to a flippy open one. Hurrah.

Shame the same cannot be said of what I thought was my best friend... She is a total weehead and if she isn't drunk by 2pm in the afternoon at the weekend and by 6pm during the week then there will be pigs flying. Anyhoooos, she had this bad habit of ringing me whilst she was under the influence to invite me round to her house at all hours of the night and day expecting me to drop everything and race round there which, after a couple of years of politely declining, had got very annoying as drunk people are painfully dull when you are sober. During the final couple of months of our friendship her drinking continued even further out of control where she then had to get her, also drunk but less so, husband to ring me to carry on with the 'we have been whooping it up now are bored so come round and entertain us' inviting.

The last time this happened I had a nice chat with him and politely declined his very kind offer of going round there at 10pm on a Sunday night as they both 'misshed' me. Thought no more of it and then my phone rang again and it was friend's husband - again. Was quite bored of listening to drunks by this point so left the answer phone to get it... It would seem that he had put the phone in his pocket and then dialled me by mistake. I had a full 2 minute message listening to the drunken delights of my 'best friend' ranting and raving at her husband telling him what a total c*nt she thinks I am because I wouldn't go round there.... nice. Needless to say I don't need her number in my phone any more...

oh, i know EXACTLY how you feel
same thing with me. my mate has 3 squalling kids, lives 20 miles from me and has a fella who works away all week. she texts me on a monday, the day before i get paid, asking me to go down there on the train. she's usually had at least a few drinks, but at least she has the decency to actually say she wants me to go down because she's bored. i love her, but she does my head in :(
