    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.

      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).

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

        …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.

            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.

    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.
