Sometime when I hang up the phone it rings right after, but nobody is actually calling.

My grandmother's phone used to do that. She gets creepy no talking calls that hang up after 10-15 seconds pretty much on a daily basis. She reckons it's people casing out the house to see if they can steal from her. She now keeps a whistle by the phone, and if they don't respond, she blows it. Loud.<BR><BR>I love my gran :)

This was happening a lot with those automated calls generated in the call centres, the poor person had barely hung up on their last call to get a breath to say hello.
But - just as we can stop junk mail, we can opt out of these calls! I registered via the internet not to receive them any more and life has been much more peaceful!!

When I call someone, I usually just breathe very heavily, so whoever picks up knows that I'm alive.

I get those lazy asshole bill collectors that use an automated system to call, it's a robot and it recognizes if someone answers so I guess they are making several calls at the same time and get notified if a person actually picks up.
The worst thing is getting those calls that say "Please hold for the next representative"....yeah, like I'm going to hold for that....

Actually, though, it's weird because I've had odd calls real early in the morning the past 2 days, but my phone hasn't rung long enough for my caller ID to get whoever it is. It was like 6:30 this morning and around 7 yesterday. I didn't answer it so I have no clue who or why....

About once a fortnight. When I had a stalker it was only about once per year. I had a really lazy stalker.

Ha, I say fortnight to fuck with people, and it works!! They always laugh. The last time I said it, I said something about someone not bathing in a fortnight. Epic.

Is it really a weird word? It's so common to me that it'd be weird not to use it.

I knew it was not really used much, but I didn't realise it was so strange that people would laugh at it. Does it sound old-fashioned or just a bit pretentious?
Then again there are some Americanisms that sound odd to my ears too. Like "hit me up" and the use of verb forms instead of adjectives like "skim milk". Skim milk is act of making skimmed milk. It sounds as strange to me as, say, "boil water" or "freshly pick strawberries". But then, we do it too. Roast beef is more commonly heard than roasted beef. And we'll say toast instead of toasted bread.
And I'll never know what upside the head means. In my mind, it's punching someone in the throat or under their chin.

Upside the head...usually it means smacked or hit on the head, either literally or figuratively.

Fortnight makes people laugh because of the unexpectedness of it-you might say it 'hits people right upside the head'. It's just silly and old-fashioned.
You know what doesn't make sense to me, is the names you Brits give to car parts. Windscreen? Bonnet? Boot?
Windscreen-But screens let wind through!! I like windshield better, as it shields you from the wind. Seems 'right'.
Bonnet? OK, I think you guys were just being difficult and defiant when you decided to call a hood a bonnet.
Boot-hmmm, the trunk (as we call it) was so named because trunks used to be strapped onto the back of cars before they made them with built-in trunks. I don't get where boot comes from.
