I do not know how much change one man — or blogger — can bring to this world. But I do know that when there is wrong in the world, the least I can do is to try to fix it. Here’s my mitzvah of the day:
The Situation: Tonight, at approximately 10:30 p.m., I’m driving home while talking on the phone. My cell loses reception. The call ends mid-sentence. So I call my friend back. He calls me. Simultaneously. We both get each other’s voicemail. It takes five minutes of dialing to get him back on the line.
The Dilemma: Who makes the initial callback after a dropped call?
The solution: He who dialed first must re-dial.
Stick to this simple rule, people, and we can avoid the dreaded post-dropped call phone tag.
One small step for cell phone users at a time, I suppose.
