Well yeah, because I need to talk to you
People have been doing this without problems for decades, why is it a problem now if it wasn’t 10-20 years ago?
Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic?

YOU choose when the call happens.

When better options arise, people can start to dislike the old options.
Why do I not like washing dishes by hand? It wasn’t a problem 30 years ago. For example.
Now you’ll say it WAS a problem and they invented dishwashers to fix it. And I’ll say they invented texting to fix phone calls.

And ignoring the call or turn DND on isn’t an option? No judgement, just curious.

That would be the mitigation to the problem, yes. But I’m describing why it’s a problem in the first place.
You can’t say “calls aren’t that bad because you can do everything possibly to avoid them.”. I’m avoiding them because they’re that bad.

So then why are calls that bad?

Because I don’t pick when it happens. And I have bad ADHD so being interrupted is a problem for me.
