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.

I'm 36 and if you want to call me, then fine? Who cares? I don't get why it's such a big deal.

It absolutely is not a big deal, this thread is bonkers

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.

How do you know it's an emergency if you don't pick up the phone

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

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.
