She shouts, she claims she can't hear, she asks, Are you there? It's madness! Sheer madness!
  • A simple solution

    How about a. not calling your wife when she's commuting and b. getting her a headset and tell her to use it whenever she commutes?

    That way, if you or someone else happen to call in, all she has to do is hit a simple button. That's one gesture compared to the more complex task of finding the phone, flipping it open and then figuring out how to hold it to the ear properly.

    But then, there are just some people who are utterly incompatible with technology. Teach your wife to call you. Teach your wife to call 911. Type up instructions for her, laminate it and put it in her wallet. That way, if she does get into trouble, she'll know what to do.

    But my god, stop calling her if your blood pressure rises every time! It's not worth it.
