High Noon: No Longer In Service

On her Facebook page last night, CindyH "3 phone calls in 30 minutes: 1. Alex: Who is picking me up? I've been done with practice for TEN minutes! 2.Ethan: Hey! Do think I can stop by after work. And maybe borrow $10 for gas? I don't think I'll have enough to get home. 3. Sam: Mom! Where are you? When are you coming home? It's 5:30 and I'm HUNGRY. My voicemail message? "The mother you have reached is disconnected and no longer in service."

Question: When did you last feel like turning off your phone or posting a message that "the person you have reached ... is no longer in service"?
