  That is called a wife and there is an app to get those

    Quite a bit of effort, especially if you want spares. There’s also a risk that they are introverts themself.

      If she is an introver, then you are the extrovert, get on the phone!

    My wife is also an introvert. What should I do now?

    It’s only the wife’s job if the husband makes calls for her, too.

    At least, for me. I do and have made calls for partners, and they’ve made calls for me too. I gel best with other introverts, so we take turns when one of us doesn’t have the energy to make a phone call. No need to gender it, it’s what supportive partners do for each other.

      I just gender it because it is my case, but it is true that it depends on each case. It is easier for me sometimes, it is easier for her others.

    My wife is an extrovert that hates making phone calls.

  It’s funny how many of my choices are made based on whether I can do something on a website vs. being forced to make a phone call. Currently, I’m looking for a vet to get my cat spayed, and all the ones close to me require a phone call, so I’m contemplating a longer drive for an appointment I can schedule online vs. having to call to make the appointment.

    Its not my cats fault that I’m fucked up so I always make my choice on what’s best for them. They like to reduce the time in a container to a minimum.

    To be fair, the phone experience of increasingly more companies is just fucking terrible.

    Menus over menus. Trying to get to speak a person that isn’t from India is pretty fucking hard. You usually arrive at a voicemail and don’t know when you will hear from them.

    Might as well cut the bullshit and find a straight forward experience online instead.

      I have what must be a tiny one.

      The same lady (or maybe it’s 2) is always the one I speak to when I call (and see at the desk). She handles dispensing the medication and checkout too.

      I’ve only seen other people there maybe 3 or 4 times.

      Same place my parents took the cats they had when I was born.

• Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Yeah, but then you’d have to call the extroverts to order the service.

  source

  • some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Surely there would be an app?

    source
  • Mac@mander.xyz ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No it would be via IM. You connect, go to a secure chat room, share necessary info, and then the call can commence.

    Problem would be that you would have to blindly trust all participants.

  Introvert doesnt mean anti-social or fear of society.

  • jjjalljs@ttrpg.network ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It kind of bothers me that people use “introvert” to mean like “crippling social anxiety and agoraphobia”.

    Maybe it’s just online spaces accumulate more people who identify with those disorders, and “introvert” sounds nicer .

  I feel my social battery recover when I have positive experiences with friends and even with strangers. But I used to think I was introverted because working up to do anything social was a huge drain. Turns out the problem isn’t people, it’s my anxiety…

  Are there any introverts that don’t have much anxiety? What’s the opposite like?

  source
• NaibofTabr@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I mean… do you expect the results of these calls to be… good?

  'Cause like, if your standards for the outcome of these calls aren’t too high, then just go down to the nearest bar and buy some half-drunk guy another round to make the call for you.

  • Hadriscus@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    do all these things… as an introvert ?

  And then get text summary of the conversation. Sign me up for alpha/beta/whatever test any day

  source
• melsaskca@lemmy.ca ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Would texting cause less anxiety than a voice call? I would think so but maybe not.

  Everything-as-a-service is annoying but I think this hypothetical app would probably have still been less expensive than my marriage

  • Rooster326@programming.dev ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes but then who would demand a refund because the order was for “No Pickles”

    source

    • bitjunkie@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Moot point because such a blasphemous order would never happen in this household

  And a similar app where ADHD folk pays someone (anyone, but preferably someone with ADHD) to start a step of a task (we got it from there).

  They’re around. They’re just not for us plebs. For about $700/mo you can get a subscription. Worth it? Not for me, but if I made a few times what I do now, I might start thinking about it.

  I only use online services to order food delivery to avoid the phone calls. And for some restaurants this actually means that an employee of the online service will call and tell them what I ordered.

  Now I wonder if these services have a record of the main languages spoken at the restaurants and try to match up agents that speak that language.

  Somewhere some introvert would be paying extrovert to call you… an introvert.
