Two panel image. Line art side view of a woman looking at her phone. Second panel shows same woman looking up in exasperation while holding her phone.
Text above reads: ‘Are you busy?’ Me: ‘No’ Incoming video call
“Oh, sorry, you meant for a call? No, I’m in a meeting already, I’m free to do stuff but I can’t answer a call.”
“I am shitting, so i’il not answer unless ya want to eat the sounds”
“Sorry, I hate video calls. You can call me the old school way if you want to talk.”
I can hear d the groan in this image.
A rookie mistake. Never let them know you aren’t busy.
This is why my answer is either “yes,” if I’m busy, or “kind of, why what is it?” Judging by the followup I can determine how exactly how “kind of,” busy I am.
My boss likes to remind me I am showing as online on slack, I turn it back on 5min and then back off
swipes to decline
Not being busy != Free for a call of any kind.
Leave me alone. 😭
I hate typing on a phone and I love the opportunity to knock a conversation that would’ve happened over 2-4 hours in 2 minutes.
No, you must refuse to talk to anyone on the phone like a good little autistic person with phone anxiety.
Just reply with Nohello.net
“yes unless it involves beer”
Haven’t had one ever. You know you don’t have to have them?

I don’t mine regular phone calls but fuck video calls. I only ever do those if I am far away and haven’t seen my parents in a long time. Also fuck spam callers in general and hope they all get throat cancer for being leaches on society.
