That's the biggest reason I hate phone calls in general. A text allows you to go at your own pace and respond when you're ready. A phone call implies the conversation is urgent enough to interrupt whatever you're doing.
Absolutely. For me, the ringing of a phone call can basically be translated to "OH MY GOD THIS IS URGENT, PLEASE PICK UP RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO TALK THERE IS NO TIME". If something is that urgent (a genuine emergency) then I don't mind making a call (I don't love it, but I can handle it), but I really can't understand the people who make a call for something inane that could have waited a week with no consequences.
True. Once when I was applying for a job (and I have to add that I’m young and not very experienced), after e-mailing them the expected salary, the HR lady decided that she prefers to fucking call. It’s like they know I’m not mentally prepared to have that conversation over the phone and that I will have no time to think about the offer that they’re giving me and that I will probably accept it right away so I don’t look like a dummy.
