    I’m the same way with my mail.

    I’m a millennial - I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.

    If I order something, then I know about it and expect it at my door (because it’s fedex, amazon, or ups).

    Otherwise, it will have to wait until I happen to remember I have a mailbox. Bills - I expect you to have my email address and use it, because I supplied it whenever I established xyz account.

    Exceptions:

    1. Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
    2. For a local property tax exemption, my county refuses to email it. Their requirement for receiving the exemption is that you live here locally, and part of their way for verifying that, is by sending the request form to your local physical address.

      That seems dangerously negligent.

      I get it, I check mine maybe once a week, but if I go longer than that it’s completely stuffed full. At some point it’s just not nice to the mail carrier that has to try and jam shit in there.

      If junk mail didn’t exist wouldn’t be an issue, but there is a lot of verbose junk sent in the mail.

        I am almost to the point where I don’t mind normal junk mail. That’s easy to quickly scan, identify as junk, and toss.

        What really grinds my gears are when my companies contact me and write something like “Important” on it. This happened recently with my credit card company. I thought maybe I had gone overdue, or had overpaid and this was letting me know my bill the following month would be less (it has happened before).

        No - it was letting me know I had good credit and could get a good % on a loan through them if I wanted. Now, that made me mad. Spam mail, from my very own credit card company. B.S.

      I'm like this with email. I do a quick visual scan about once per week... or fortnight... because it's almost all SPAM, and no matter how many blocks and filters I create, it does little to hold back the tide of trash.

      Everyone who matters knows the only way to reach me reliably is via text message.

      I nearly missed a jury duty notice because of this habit. I only check if I know money or a specific bill is coming.

    Sms aren’t limited by my availability…you can send them at 4am in the morning so i can ignore them for 2 weeks for no reason. Meanwhile if you call me at 4am I’d still be awake but it’s none of your business why and i wouldn’t answer them anyway so why bother.

      Same. I used the phone before there were other options, but I always hated it. I don’t like being able to hear someone but not see them. It gives me anxiety.

    I wouldn’t mind people calling me if I didn’t expect 90% of my calls to be scams.

  • TesterJ@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I once signed up for something that required separate home and cell phone numbers. Some shipping service or something. And it wouldn’t let me put the same number for both. Like come on, nobody is paying for landlines nowadays. I ended up putting my parents’ phone number for the home phone (which they coincidentally just got rid of this week.)

      • tryplot@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        fun fact: most phone companies do not allow that phone number to be given out due to too many people calling it as a direct result of that song.

    • avapa@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I have two landline numbers that came with my internet contract but I don’t have a phone connected to the modem. So whenever your scenario happens to me I just give them one of my real landline numbers. I’ve tried calling myself and you can actually hear it ringing as the caller but no one will ever pick up lol

        I’m actually a big fan of how they’ve standardised the design language and accessibility requirements across services. This “why” box that a couple of comments are criticising are likely so they can continue to improve accessibility.

    Am I the only millennial that doesn’t mind phone calls? Don’t get me wrong, I very much prefer an SMS or email if it will suffice but phone calls tend to be quicker if you need something taken care of immediately.

    • Screwthehole@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Phone calls are for immediate concerns that’s why you need to answer your phone. No one will call you unless it’s important

    • GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No, it’s just become en vogue to parade around your social incompetence/anxiety issues/whatever for clout.

      That being said, I don’t give out my number willy nilly, although getting annoying robo/spamcalls seems to be more of a US issue anyway.

    That’s actually a very good option to have in a website since some people have trouble hearing the calls due to being hearing impaired.
