My favorite is when you finally relent, answer the phone and they’re hyper distracted, trying to ‘fit in’ a phone call during their day

“Oh, hi Mark”

“Hey do yo- hold on” sounds of keys, phone put down, grocery bags rustling

“…”

Like bruh. You called me, because you felt this warranted 1:1 attention for a conversation. I didn’t sign up for your organic ‘hold music’ via foley session.

Sometimes we like to hear your voice.

I barely like the sound of my own voice or looking in the mirror. I sound much better in my head. That's why I write damnit.

It's too bad 90% of calls these days are spam. Even if it's a number I recognize, it could still be a scammer spoofing a legitimate number. That happened to me earlier this week when someone spoofed my credit union's number and was trying to get me to give them all my money (they failed).

Answer the damn phone, you monster!

you'll text me if it's important enough

If they don't leave a message it wasn't important enough.

Leave a voice mail, and if it's important enough, I'll call you back.... (Maybe)

...I will routinely avoid listening to my messages until the guilt finally gets to me and I've got 8 racked up waiting to be listened to.

So I can't even guarantee that will get you am answer in a timely manner.

I feel so seen right now.

Unlike my 8 voicemails that are sealed away in a tomb of my own guilt.

Bruh, last night I cleared out my VMs after posting this, and I felt so accomplished.

And then this morning on my way into work, someone called and I ignored it because I was driving. And that fucking VM notification is back 😭 Not even a full 24 hours guilt free.

Am I weird for liking it better when people call me? Usually takes less time and effort to discuss something over the phone imo

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

...distracted endless voice messages in a text client like Signal...

If you live in the USA make sure to register your number and report spam calls on www.DoNotCall.gov

Maybe we should start placing 900 numbers in lists that scams and telemarketers pull from?

I facetime without warning and comment if they are unprepared. I love seeing their scared faces.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

just don't answer and you can find out whatever when I next see you or maybe I will email. you could always text me but im going to respond with reply in my email and you are going to get so many texts of the email text. like my footer..

Seek psychiatric help for this. It isn't normal and can be overcome.
