May be I'm one of those 'kinds' being talked about in the article, but I really don't understand the people who totally ignore phone calls. On one side, they wouldn't answer messages thinking if it's really that urgent people will call. And when they do get a call, they deliberately ignore it, and are not even courteous enough to send a message saying "I'll call you back". That's all it takes. An acknowledgement message saying you'll call when free. But some people don't even do that, and whether you agree or not, for me that signals "communication issues".
- clinta 11y agoI ignore calls from some people, and I lazily answer texts. This works for most people, they get that if it's not important and time sensitive, they can email or text and I'll get around to responding. And if it is important they can call. But some people insist that every little concern they have is urgent and when they learn that I don't respond to texts immediately, they start calling for everything. The way I see it, these people aren't respecting the importance of a phone call, so I screen their calls. Calling me is literally ringing a bell and demanding I speak to you this instant. If you ring this bell for something that doesn't actually need my immediate attention then you don't respect my time and I won't give it to you. I give others this respect, I almost never call anyone unless it's an emergency, and if I want to speak to someone I wait until it looks like they're not occupied. To me this seems like respect, but I'm open to the possibility that I have communication issues.
