Honestly, he sends me mixed messages. Sometimes he makes a show out of turning it off. One time he came into session sure I was going to be angry about it from the previous session, and showed me that he'd learned how to operate it and turn the ringer off.
Yet other times he seems oblivious to even the heaviest of hints and sighs and outright complaints.
The first time I mentioned straight out (as opposed to hinting and sighing) that it bothered me, he said he needed to be available in case his family needed him. But since he's in a suite of offices, I daresay his wife (who works across the street by the way) could manage to get in touch with him should there be a dire emergency. You should hear my thoughts on the matter. They're not fit for repeating.
I nearly always lose my train of thought, definitely my mood, when it happens, and it usually happens more than once a session.
I don't think I'm unreasonable when it comes to him. Well, I suppose we'd both say we bend backwards to accomodate one another. But this one really annoys me, not because it hurts me or anything like that. But because it really does disrupt the session.
I don't know though. Maybe it's my irritation that disrupts the session. Although I don't think so. I had left my phone on for an important call from the vet one session, and got another call that I ignored, but found so distracting that I took the chance and turned the phone off anyway.
