Chinese Phone Manners
I just got a call on our fixed phone.
I pickup, say my name and someone blurts.
“Is x there”, (x being my better half)
I say in Chinese, “No, she isn’t home”
About to ask whether I can take a message, I hear “oh oh, tuut, tuut, tuut, tuut, tuut”
He apparently hung up and stupefait I listened a bit more to the sound of my phone.
