i live near a hill. sometimes my phone rings, sometimes it doesn't. sometimes it takes 6 hours for a text to arrive, sometimes immediately, sometimes it get lost in the packet routing tumble dryer.

I'll take calling over receiving 10+ texts in a row any day though

You get 10+ texts in a row?

I usually respond in paragraph form and then as they're typing a reply, I panic and ghost them for another day.

Tbh people not asking (particularly discord calls for some reason) bugs me. Like I need a second to get into the right headspace for it and I don't like being surprised by a call

This is pretty close to being the new standard etiquette, and I'm all for it.

If you wanna talk for an hour, sure. If you want to avoid a paper trail, absolutely not.

Funny.. in my experience, the people who ask are the people who don't have to. They are always welcome because they understand.

I mean, of course you call me, any time day or night. My phone won't ring and I definitely won't answer, but you do you and call call call all you want, sweetie! How's your mama doing?

If you are one of the people that asks this, please add the reason for the call.

You need to give me a reason why you need to speak with me. There's very few people I actually want to talk to.
