Whining Number Seven

Another shining entry.  I hate phone calls. I don't like talking on the phone. I hate the sound of the phone ringing. It always startles me and sometimes even scares me making me shake or even scream out. I have to spend minutes recovering form every phone cal.
I have told everyone I know that I don't like phone calls and so please only call me when it is important. But for some reason my sister and brother don't seem to listen , don't remember or don't care and so are calling me daily with something trivial or stupid.
I'd like to turn off the phone or at least the ringer but the last time I did this it was after a really bad week of being bothered and sleeplessness and the cal I missed was them telling me that my father was being brought tot he emergency ward with a fever. So I'm afraid to turn of the phone.
GAAAAA!. I really hate the phone ringing.
