Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk.

why are you contacting me instead of the fire department
Oh, so if there's a fire in the building I should quietly slip a note under your door and assume you got it?
If I didn't hear the fire alarm, I certainly won't hear your call.
you have the concept of a phone down but not a fire alarm
So you admit that I'm the one with the correct concept of a phone?
Also the fire alarm battery was dead, and the entire thing was an analogy anyway.
Either way out of courtesy, I will retire from this battle of wits; it appears you've come unarmed.
there are very few situations that require me to use my voice over the phone. the fact you had to tack on that all of the fire alarms in my house were dead to your little hypothetical shows that its a silly concept to begin with
i only pick up for family, because they know i only pick up for emergencies (havent gotten a unannounced call in years). and for my job while i am ln the clock, expected to be available
How often does a fire break out next to you? You make it sound like it's a daily occurrence.
