It’s just a fucking call. I truly don’t understand the hate. Emotionally stunted, socially immature, human jokes… Grow up.
Edit: Clarity. Also, maybe if you feel attacked, you need to touch grass? Talk to someone behind you at the grocery store? Take antidepressants?
Do you pick up phone numbers you don’t recognize?
Depends on the area code.
Maybe you shouldn’t be on a shitposting community if you don’t like emotionally stunted jokes 💋
Maybe that’s just a as-needed smokescreen I’ve heard before when criticism is made, but rarely otherwise 🚫
Does anyone else get annoyed when someone calls your phone instead of texting?
Calls are fine but I get irrationally annoyed about voice messages. I hate those!
Calls are still acceptable in most settings (and easily blocked if not) but I won’t turn on my speakers with strangers around.
I hate that how-to questions often are answered by some shitty YouTube video for the same reason (but even when alone I won’t watch your crappy 10 min video for something that could literally be answered by a single sentence).
Right? It’s so weird, why would someone use a phone to make a… phone call, absolutely barbaric
Exactly, it’s 2024 it’s so rude to call someone without asking if you’re busy.
In France 400 years ago if you just called someone outta nowhere without texting first, you’d get sent to the guillotine.
“If someone calls me, someone else better have died.” Is the sentiment I hear a lot but… Even that can be a text.
“Grammy died 💀”
That was my argument with an ex years ago about turning the phone off at night.
‘What if it’s important?’
’ no one ever calls at 3am to say there’s 4 hooker’s, an 8 ball, and 10k cash waiting outside in a limo, it’s always your favorite grandmother died. She’ll still be fucking dead at 8 after I’ve had a shower and coffee, turn the phone off.
rip, when’s the estate sale?
Only if I’m truly in the middle of something that’s time or focus critical. Otherwise I’m always glad to hear from my friends.
I have a FWB who I text with 99% of the time but awhile ago she texts “Can I call you? I really need someone to talk to.” Of course! It was a joy to talk to her, she lives in the city, I’m out on the farm. Told her she should call more often.
Like the other comment I despise voicemails though. If I don’t pick up, text me. That’s even my voicemail message now… And still people leave voicemails 🤬
I like to facetime people randomly because I love to see the look of fear in their faces
Chaotic evil
Calls are for emergencies, complicated conversations, and my mom. For everything else, just text me.
I have a task I’ve been putting off for two weeks because my last attempt to resolve it resulted in a dead end requiring a phone call.
I’m concerned this task may never be completed now.
I personally preffer someone calling me rather than texting. I hate reading and the tone of the voice helps a lot to detect when someone is sarcastic or not. It is also faster. The only bad thing is that you have to specifically record in case soneone says something you need to remember.
Another bad thing is you both have to be ready and available for communicating simultaneously. Which is sometimes no big deal, sometimes a deal breaker.
I mean of cource you will be sending a message in that case. It is just that I’d preffer you call if you can.
If something requires more than like 2 texts to resolve then it seems like you could just pick up the phone.
If the message is small (eg. I am going out tomorrow. Wanna come?) like a yes/no answer, then that’s ok.
