Obvious Statement of the Day: Nobody Calls Me Anymore

I’m actually pretty glad this is catching on. I hate using my phone for voice calls. Unless I’m standing in the aisle of a grocery store staring at two different kinds of laundry detergent, and I would like the input of other members of my household, I’m not going to call you. And unless you’re blood-related to me or you’ve prefaced your phone call to me with a text that says “EMERGENCY” — in all caps — I am not very likely to answer your call either. (I’m not that terrible of a person — I’ll probably call or text you back later.) Today was the first time in weeks that I’ve even opened up my list of Recent Calls on my phone. I have 2 voicemails that I haven’t listened to from last Tuesday, and the last phone call I made was on Saturday… and it was to the dentist’s office. If I could text or email them to make an appointment, you bet I’d have done that instead.

I’d always thought this meant I was a horrible friend or some kind of anti-social hermit. But now, so is everybody else. Hooray!
