Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic?

I don’t like phone calls either. But now people are starting to send voice messages. Might just as well call me if you’re going to steal 3 minutes with every message, with info which could have been typed in 5 words. I ignore voice messages, I tell people I do yet they still get angry with “why didn’t you reply, all the messages is only 7 minutes of listening time it’s not that bad”. FFS

Honestly voice messages make me unreasonably angry. It’s all of the inconvenience of a phone call with none of the immediacy, like voicemail but for every sentence. Thank you for sharing my hatred, I feel less alone

Call: don’t pick up.
Voicemail: disabled.
“ah well, let’s leave a voice message then, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.”
“I don’t want to use both hands to type” - use SwiftKey swipe. Works great.
“I don’t want to use one hand to type” - use voice to text. Works great.
“I just want to publicly use voice messages because everyone does it” - I don’t want you as a friend, family member, colleague or anything else. I hate you, everything you send me will be blocked and marked as spam and you just removed yourself from my contact list.
