Lol sorry if you didn't understand I meant if you were downstairs and your sister was up stairs and you were to lazy to just walk up stairs to tell her something instead you call the house phone and make her pick up.
Omg do you know what was so weird one time i'm talking ot my friend then my dad picks up the phone a bit late and he says hello like no one picked up the phone.Its so awkward cause my friend is on the other line,
