...and not everyone else's.
If it is supposed to be for everyone else then everyone else can start forking over money to pay for my fucking phone service.
Also there is a wonderful thing called voicemail. It is there for when you fail to reach me (being away from my phone, it is off while it's recharging, I'm on another call, I'm doing something that prevents me from answering, I'm driving and answering the phone without a hands-free device is against the law, my wife and I are getting our freak on, etc) you can still leave a message telling me whatever important thing needs to be said...or even "I've something important, call me as soon as you can." will suffice.
Nope! People tend to think that if they took the time and effort to call you then you had better "fucking answer that phone right now goddamnit!" And so they call, hear the voicemail message, hang up and start the process over and over again until they finally give up or you take your hands out of the dirty dish water, dry them off (so as not to ruin a $600 smart phone with water soaked hands) and finally answer the phone.
Even more annoying is when we explain it to our children and tell them not to do that and to use the voicemail. Then they call and call and call and so you think it's an emergency and ask them what's wrong.
Then you hear the words that make you wish that 60th trimester abortions were legal..."Oh nothing. Just was bored and wanted to talk. So whatcha doing?"
I swear I hear that one more time and I'm going to tell them "Fucking your mother. Why do you ask?"
Or even more fun is when they call my phone, then their mother's, then mine again, lather rinse and repeat ad infinitum until you get fed up with it and answer the phone to hear "Whatcha doing?"
"And that your honor was when I shoved the phone up his urethra sideways."
