DNA: not just in your body..but in your phone!

We all have that friend/s who calls and you know the second you pick up your stuck talking aka listening to them for 25+ minutes.  I used to put these people in my phone as their real name, until my dad taught me a trick.  [ hey dad! thanks! ]  He told me to add "DNA" after their name.  DNA standing for do not answer.  It just gives me that reminder that if I don't have the time..this isn't the call to answer.

There are a few people that meet the criteria as a DNA caller:

1. The one that doesn't let you get a word in edgewise.  Those are the calls that if I do happen to answer, I just set it down and continue on what I was doing, giving the occasional actively listening phrase. 

2. The one who you see on caller id and immediately the Sarah McLaughlin commercial pops into your head.  The one that with that first note of the song "Arms of an Angel" you want to bail out and not even see what's coming.

3. The one upper.  You could say something outlandish like you got bit in the ass by a rabid porcupine - and they cut you off to tell how they got half their ass chewed off by part gazelle part panther.

PERFECT DNA recipients. Thanks Dad, you've saved me some serious talk time :)
