old.people... always old people. The same people that would fucking call someone. I'm 43 yo and I nor anyone I know call anyone of it's not an emergency
I absolutely hate text messages. I refuse to spend hours of my time sending text messages back and forth to solve a problem that a 60 second phone call could have disposed of.
and I refuse to spend hours of my time listening to voicemails when I could have scanned a text message in 15 seconds
This is why you actually answer the phone to prevent 300 voicemails. That's on you if that happens. And I have repeatedly found that a one or two line text message NEVER conveys the whole message because people do not know how to create a cognizant thought. So I can either spend hours texting back and forth to get the whole picture or you can call me directly, answer my pointed questions, and be done in 60 seconds or less.
I'm not going to answer the phone call that happens at an extremely inconvenient time just to have a three minute chat that could have been a 15 second text.
This is why I just turned off my voice mail entirely. If I see your missed call, I'll call back.
It really depends case by case.
If back and forth starts going, then it's time for a call.
However text first to establish:
Oh I would 100% exchange texts for 3 and a half days instead of just calling. So much energy to call someone
I'm also 43, and I and many of my friends call each other all the time
33 and I've started calling people. It's nice to just chat with friends and family
I'm 30, same. It's also much faster to arrange something.
