My parents moved to Beijing for their two-year assignment on Monday. That’s not what this post is about, though. We had been talking about how we’d use Skype for our calling one another, and my dad just recently set up a new account.
This morning, around 4:40AM, the phone rings. I tried to answer it, but there was only dial tone. Not 5 minutes later, it rang again. I picked up, but all I could hear was background noise. No voice. Mike said that maybe it was my dad setting up Skype. It was definitely plausible…
About an hour later, the phone rang a third time. This time, Mike answered. I presume all he could hear was background noise, as well, because he just kept saying, “Hello? Speak up, I can’t hear you!” Nothing. He *69ed the number, and haha, it wasn’t my dad, after all. It was HIS dad making phantom calls with his Bluetooth headset picking up the voice dialing! Argh…technology and time zone differences just don’t go hand-in-hand sometimes…
