Re: Things you've always wondered

[(Anonymous)]

Why do some people sound like they're happy on the phone when they're upset? Twice I've answered calls where it sounded like the person was happy and about to say something positive, only for them to either be sad or angry.

Is it because their voices are raised, and there's no facial expression to clue me into the fact that it isn't a "happy" raised voice? Are they nervous initially?

Possibly because they aren't sure who's calling them about what, and they're prepared to fake happiness if it's a stranger or someone they don't want to show their emotions to?

AYRT - No, I mean people who call you first.

So okay, example. One time a woman called my workplace saying she'd seen our sign. She sounded excited to me, and I thought she was calling about the offer. She went on to say that she was tired of signs being in front of her store and going to complain to the city if it happened again. (Signs were never put in front of stores, but that's beside the point.)

I think in that case, she was just trying to be civil in her complaint.

Though if the signs were never in front of her store, maybe she's just nuts.

AYRT: Her tone never changed, though, that was the weird thing.

Another example is that someone called saying "they had news." Again, they sounded happy. Then it turned out someone had died. Although that one I can possibly explain with nervousness - I know sometimes if I go to say something bad, I start laughing. But maybe there's another reason?

A lot of people have a 'phone voice' especially if they work on phones at a job. This often means pitching their voice higher, which makes them sound happier. Also, phones probably remove a good bit of voice subtlety.

Good point.
