Why is communication so hard?

he calls her, she misses the call by seconds. She calls back, he doesn't answer. She calls back again, same result. He calls back five minutes later:
her-"hello"
him-"hi"
her-"What you doing?"
him-"nothing"
her-"you sound sad"
him-"I'm alright"= I am or am not sad, you'll have to dig to find out
her-"So you aren't Sad? what were you doing?"= you really didn't answer my question
him-"watching t.v, hi"= change the subject
her-"hi"=okay
him-"is your mom going to work?"=can you get the car?
her-"yes"= what's he up to?
him-"hi, what did you do today?"=damn
her-"nothing, woke up showered, spent time with my sis, made a sandwich and called you back?" =spit it out
him-"oh"= i'll try again
her-"you went to work today"= talk to me damnit
him-"yes............................ did she leave already?"= can you get the car?
her-"yes, did you want me to come and pick you up?" = It's well into her work hours, of course she did!
him-"yes"= damn, guess I gotta stay here now
her-"well, why didn't you call and tell me that earlier?"= why didn't you ask me to get you earlier?
him-"I was busy"= I don't know
her-"oh, okay let me finish eating. I'll call you back"= shm, so now it's my fault. whatever
him-"okay"= bitch

end of call




how it should have went:

Him- Hi
Her- What's up?
Him- do you think you could swing by and pick me up?= come get me
Her- sorry, my mom left with the car.=I wish he called earlier
Him- oh, okay. I wanted to see you today. If I didn't have to go to work in the morning I would have still come. Okay I'll talk to you later.= either I do want to come by or I just don't want to be home right now.
Her- okay, love you= that sucks, I would have loved to see you
Him- love you too.= same here
Her-bye
Him-bye



Short, sweet, and to the point. What's so hard about that?
