But seriously I can't stand talking on the phone. I've rejected people's calls and then texted them right after saying "yeah what's up?"

I either text or email I would only own a tablet instead of a smartphone if I could but my job makes me get a smart phone.

I spend most of my days on the phone with customers, so when the day ends, I don't want to talk to anyone on it. Anyone else feel the same way?
my great-grandpa hated talking on the phone. He'd have 5-word conversations on the phone, including "Hello" and "Bye".

I talk to get stuff done. I don't do waffle or drawn out conversations. The wife hates it.

My girlfriend calls to shoot the shit and I'm just sitting there listening wondering when she's coming over and what we're having for dinner. The only person that I always answer is my mom. Especially now that my dad died. Otherwise, a phone call feels like bullshit to me. It's more intrusive and even more impersonal at times. Just send me a text and I'll get back to you when it's convenient and I have a written record of what was said to make it easier to call you out on your bullshit. So that's neat.

It's been a while bc we've both been busy, but I used to talk to Joemacka @Joemacka maybe twice a month or so.

It took me at least a month to get used to his accent (he's from Yorkshire). I felt bad having to ask him to repeat himself at first so I would just blame the "bad" connection.

This whole phone call thing seems generational.

What I mean by that is that most Gen-Xers are shit with technology and aren't comfortable sending texts.

I have honestly lost 2 different Gen-X friends bc of my refusal to answer their phone calls.

Mine too. I tell her all the time, I talk on the phone 30+ hours a week. I don’t want to talk on it anymore. Nothing personal.
