" While I&amp;#039;m chatting with a friend, I feel hurt when she cuts me off to talk to someone else. What are the rules of call-waiting -- shouldn&amp;#039;t it be first come, first served? It certainly should be. It&amp;#039;s impolite to end a conversation to take another call, especially more than once. If you have the call-waiting feature on your phone and you feel you must respond to a beep, do so quickly and graciously: &amp;quot;I have to answer this call. May I put you on hold for a second?&amp;quot; Then tell the other caller that you&amp;#039;re in the middle of a conversation and arrange a time to get back to her. Return to the original person and finish your chat without rushing off. If you are indeed expecting an important call, let the person on the other end know up front that there&amp;#039;s a chance you might have to cut the conversation short.
