- mhh__ 2mo agoI assume it's often parallel construction
- duxup 2mo agoI don’t know how that relates to what i said.
- chneu 2mo agoThey just keep trying. It's not uncommon for people to talk after 3 or so attempts. Humans want to talk.

Everybody I know closely knows this, and its come in useful. Though tbh I’d it’s a recognizable localish area code I usually pick up on the 2nd call in rapid succession.
