> It seems that the social norm has shifted to the point where an unscheduled phone call is actually considered a bit rude. I really wish that was the case but my observation is that only really applies with people over a certain threshold, much the same way that that people my age (36) remember growing up in a house where noone used the phone after 9pm since it was considered the absolute height of bad manners to ring someone for anything less than "someone died/the nukes are falling". These days I just put my phone in airplane mode and ignore the thing most of the time.
