Did you first leave a voicemail, text, or email as well? Most of my time I am busy. Either sleeping, working, relaxing (TV, games, friends), and only a small small fraction of my time am I doing nothing to such a degree that if pick up an unknown number call. Especially in 2020s due to spam callers.
I've noticed some people saying "kids don't pick up phones anymore" and really, no, we don't. There's more efficient and reliable communication modes available. If I could pay for a sperate set of phone numbers that were text-only, I would have that instead.
- mindcrime 5y agoI've noticed some people saying "kids don't pick up phones anymore" and really, no, we don't. Kids? Hell, I'm 47 and that's my policy as well. I basically don't answer unsolicited phone calls unless it's my dad or one of a very small number of close friends or family members. And honestly, even that's not guarantee that I will pick up at times.
- erdo 5y agoSame (44) phone calls are for recruiters and marketing spam, so if I'm not currently looking for a job, the phone doesn't get answered
- C19is20 5y agoHow would your dad, and the others mentioned, be considered 'unsolicited '. Possible you mean 'untimely '?
- detaro 5y ago> How would your dad, and the others mentioned, be considered 'unsolicited ' Haven't been asked/invited to call?
- mindcrime 5y agoIf I didn't text/email/etc. and ask you to call me, or we didn't somehow otherwise arrange it in advance, that's "unsolicited" to me. Just being a friend/family member doesn't change that underlying premise. The difference is, if you fall into those categories I might pick up anyway, depending on what I'm doing / how I feel.
