Akk, I was on a conference call at home when I got news that my uncle had died. Of course, we got rid of call waiting 4 years ago on grounds of rudeness, and no one apparently thought of having the operator cut into my call or try my moble, so after 4 1/2 hours of trying (it was a long conf call) my parents called a friend down the street who walked over to tell my husband, who in turn had to tell me.
Not only did it freak out me, it freaked out everyone else on the call. I didn't react well. He was one of my favorite relatives.
