Dear Ann Landers other shave aired their pet peeves in your column. May i when the phone rings i always drop everything  answer it Assoon As possible. Sometimes i am unable to get to the phone until the fourth or fifth ring. If the caller has Hung up i get terribly upset wondering if i missed something important. It is exasperating when on runs from the attic or the base ment or the Garden  the picks up the receiver  hears a dial tone. Please Tell your Reader about the information which is printed in the front pages of the Telephone directory. It says the phone will ring 10 times in the space of one minute. I believe As a matter of Ordinary Cour Tesy a caller ought to give a person 60 seconds to get to the phone. Will you kindly pass the word nobody there dear . Here s your letter  with it my pledge that in the future i will give the other party 10 rings before i hang up. I confess 1 did t realize 10rings was equivalent to 60 seconds.
