rescue call...

simon's blog quoted a stat from somewhere that 90% of people fake a cell phone conversation at least once a month...was talking about this with some ago collegues a while back after some heated discussion started during a meeting about the future of our department which our boss conveniently had to cut short because he had a "conference call" to go to and a collegue compared it to the episode of sex in the city where charlotte gets carrie to call her to get her out of the bad date she's on.

well today i was surfing around the fido website and discovered a new service they call the "resue call" where you can either preset a time and date that you will need it or just dial #22 and they will give you a fake call to bail you out of whatever situation you're in...(it costs 50 cents so i don't know why you don't just set your phone's alarm to go off whenever you need to escape)
i also remember reading somewhere in the states that there's rejection number that you can give to people which plays them a "you have been rejected" message when they call it and proceeds to call them a loser or something like that.. i dunno, but i find that a tad harsh..what happened to just saying no?

have we become so afraid of rejection that we can't even be honest when giving it?
