I hate call waiting. My phone has it automatically and so does our landline. I ignore it pretty much every time. If I know that it's an important call, I'll end the conversation with whom I'm talking and then switch over..... but that's rare.
Yesterday, I was talking with my mother when someone beeped in. We also have caller ID. I briefly looked at the name, didn't recognize it, and continued talking.
At lunch, Stewart let me know that the other family moving to India had heard from the movers. He was optimistic that we would hear from them the same day. So he was a little bummed when he came home from work and still hadn't heard anything.
Flash forward to 11:30pm. Stewart casually mentions that the movers may call the house the next day and to make sure I answer the phone (no answering machine). I then make a comment that we got what I perceived to be a courtesy call earlier in the day that I didn't answer. Stewart looks at the caller ID.
It was the movers.
Oops?

(I don't answer calling waiting either. We didn't have it growing up because my parents found it very rude.... So I would've done the same thing you did. ESPECIALLY if I was on the phone with my Dad!)
