In my experience, the younger you are, the more likely you are to find phone calls to be irritating at best. People in their 20s and under almost always would prefer you to text them than call them. And I’m in my 40s and I agree. I’ve never liked the phone. I didn’t like it when it was all landlines and I don’t like it now. Texting was a godsend.

Actually landlines was better… hear me out.

“Fuck you, I’m not at the house.” ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wham bam thank you ma’am, you can’t contact me unless it’s on my terms.

Counter: “sorry, left my phone at home”

Same excuse can still be used.

Yeah and there are also times when texting makes the situation a lot more annoying but a 2 minute phone call does the opposite.

I honestly can’t think of one. I’d rather spend five minutes writing a text than two minutes on the phone. That’s two minutes I have to talk to someone without looking at them.

Occasionally we have to set up events and doing a conference call is a hell of a lot less annoying than doing a group chat. Anyone who doesn’t want to be part of the planning can just opt out of the call rather than have their phone bing a million times in five minutes.
