      I’m 40. I don’t even answer the phone if it rings. If it’s important they can leave a message.

      Sorry if I don’t think minor topics are worthy of the immediate attention needed for a phone call?

      Phone calls are reserved for emergencies. Otherwise you’re just demanding the instant attention of someone for nothing.

      It’s more of a Millenial thing. I’m 35 and I don’t pick up the phone ever unless it’s an emergency or a job interview.

          Because people suck, and they tend to be more rude on the phone. I don’t want to deal with it.

          Not to mention that the only time my phone rings, it’s almost always a scam. I prefer not to engage with bullshitters.

          If it’s important, then text me.

          I don’t if you won’t text me. So it’s on you.

          Furthermore, in a real emergency, people tend to blow up your phone. So if someone is calling multiple times, of course I’ll answer, if nothing more than to yell at them for blowing up my phone.
