Why couldn’t this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?

    If I’m calling it’s an emergency or extremely time sensitive. Otherwise I text. I can understand when you don’t want app or even text notifications. But understand and accept the risk that comes with it.

    What pisses me right the fuck off is when I call, then call again, then text, then text again, and you, “mr/mrs im so important I can’t be bothered by notifications” are somehow offended at me because you missed out on something because you didn’t bother properly configuring two calls in a row from a known contact through your deny-by-default filter.

    Those people, family or not, can fuck right off.

    I don’t like telemarketing or spam calls. But I also take responsibility and check if it’s actually important. It’s nbd to me to hang up on a spam call. And to be honest I have gotten a fair share of legitimate calls from numbers I don’t recognize.

    TL;DL Answer ya damn phone, you damn well know tiktok and insta still gonna be there 5 seconds from now

    here we go, socially awkward redditors moralizing their awkwardness around phones again

    It’s called a human conversation, try it some time assholes. I’m sooooo sorry someone speaking to you is inconvenient.

    have you considered returning to monke? nah then you’d just whine about fecal baseball being awkward

      With this attitude there is no way in hell you should or could be the leading authority on human conversation.

      It’s called social anxiety. I’m so sorry someone being anxious is inconvenient to you.

      Have you considered not commenting?

        oh no you might be uncomfortable!!! that’s so sad. whoever calls you is totally responsible.

        anxiety sucks but stop blaming others for it. it’s not their fault you choose to avoid the phone. maybe seek help for learning how to do a very basic human function instead of blaming others for it? or encouraging others to become defunct in a basic human function?
