Comment on This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.

  Usually friends and family actually care about respecting the wishes of the person they’re trying to contact. That concept might be unfamiliar to you.

    Nah you’re 100% in the wrong here, and it’s wild that you bring up respect, as if this attitude and behavior isn’t incredibly disrespectful. Calling someone is literally not disrespectful. What the fuck is wrong with people

      Isn’t it? On a cell phone it demands that I drop what I’m doing at a moment’s notice and respond to your inquiry. Unless it is something time-sensitive, the call probably should have been scheduled or a text message would have served the purpose without demanding an instant response

        Phone rings

        “Hi, do you have time for the call now?”

        “No, Im busy right now, I will call you back.”

        Where disrespectfull?

        Way faster then text!

        Yeah its like walking into a room without knocking, while in talking to someone and just screaming at the top of your lungs. “WE NEED TO TALK RIGHT NOW”

        Right? IMO it’s rude to just call someone out of the blue and expect that they’ll be able to drop everything to chat with you.

        Unfortunately, my mom loves to call unannounced, and because my parents are getting older I feel the need to answer in case something’s wrong.

  My friends and family know not to call me unless somebody is dead or dying. It’s worked out pretty well so far
