Why couldn’t this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?

    as another commenter said, imagine if when you wanted to talk to someone you begin banging aggressively on their desk screaming “TALK TO ME TALK TO ME”. thats what letting calls control your attention does

    so you can message first thanks :3

          Oh, so if there’s a fire in the building I should quietly slip a note under your door and assume you got it?

              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
