1 Answer

Answer :

answer:One of the things that scares me about phones is when I’m in a quiet house all alone, and the phone suddenly blasts out with its loud, disturbing ringing. I find that very disconcerting and unsettling. :( I am also phobic when it comes to phones ringing in the middle of the night, abruptly waking me from my peaceful slumber. It’s almost nightmarish and “Twilight Zonish”. I hate those kinds of calls, as they can mean either something bad happened or a nut is on the other end of the line. lol
