- a businessperson who leaves the restaurant table to answer a page?
This is just plain rude. The person is saying that their work is more important then the waiter's time not only that if they are eating with their family it makes them look like a jerk who cares way too much about his job. At the same time it show they are kind of polite because at least they didn't pick up the call and talk at the their table annoying everyone sitting around them.
- a doctor who leaves the table to answer a page?
That this person is a good doctor who cares about his patients enough to drop whatever he's doing to take care of them. Not only that but he's polite for not talking on his phone at the table.
- an answering machine that cuts of the incoming message after thirty seconds?
That they just want your name and number, nothing else. They don't want and sit and listen to you describe your problem on the machine then call you and listen to you describe the problem again and then get on with business. It show that they are about efficiency and that is their main goal.
- a phone answering device that begins, "If you have a rotary phone, stay on the line. If you have a touch tone phone . . .?"
I don't know what either of those things are, so I'm going to guess that they are old types of phones. This says to me that either the company has gone out of business and that's why they haven't change their message or their lazy or it's a line that elderly people call who actually still use things like that.
- a person who rambles on the phone?
That the person is disrespectful and doesn't believe your time is valuable. I find this to be so annoying. I hate when someone calls "just to talk" because this usually means they have some sort of hidden agenda so they talk about random stuff to make you "feel loved" then ask for whatever it its that really want.
