Nick posted a nice little rant about proper male phone etiquette Not bad at all, though he missed some other acceptable types of call. Here are ten more reasons that I've experienced, either as the caller or callee.

11. You just beat whoever you're calling in some form of online game or competition and are calling to taunt them. Nothing rubs it in their faces more than relentless mockery in stereo.

12. You know they're not home and are just calling to fill up their voicemail inbox with useless messages.

13. You are in a music trivia event and desperately need to know the name of that song, you know, THAT song.

14. You just woke up and you don't know where you are.

15. It's like 5 am and you just stayed up all night, and you're calling to wake them up because you're an ass.

16. You'recallingfromapayphone andyouhavetocramasmanywordsaspossibleintoatwominutephone

17. You're in a different time zone and you're calling to wake them up because you're an ass.

18. You want to go out into the woods and beat each other with wooden swords.

19. You're about to blow up a pumpkin and you want someone there to witness the event.

20. You have a sudden urge to know what Avogadro's Number is.
