    If I try to call my SO or my mother, I have less than 20% chance of an answer. I have no idea why they have cellphones.

      This is my whole family, they’re glued to their phones whenever I’m around, but if I’m at work and I need to call one of them I have to ping pong all their phone numbers until one of them picks up, and even then sometimes they don’t.

      Tbf, phone is just one app among dozens of others, and quite rarely used one, too.

    My wife has a sixth sense of knowing when I’m on the toilet.

    I can quietly go about my day, no one ever calls or wants me … enter the toilet, pull my pants down, in the process of doing my business and the phone rings. Not every time I go to the toilet … but just about every time she calls, I’m on the toilet. It’s uncanny.

    Then she gets mad at me for not answering right away or ignoring the call. I always call her back and ask her how she knows when I’m on the toilet.

    I’m not making excuses for anyone, but I’ve accidentally done this. On my phone and messaging app, if I read a text and leave the conversation open (not exiting the thread and the app) I won’t get any further notifications from that person no matter how much they text. I’m sure it’s a setting somewhere, but the setting is dumb. Like, surely I don’t want a bunch of pings when I’m actively conversing with someone and looking at the app, but leaving the thread open and the screen off “should” still get a notification, even if the app is open under my lock screen.

    My girlfriend constantly complains I never call her. But when I do in fact call her she has her phone on silent or don’t disturb or not on her.

    • But you never call me because you just wanna talk a little.
    • I do but you never fucking answer.

    I thank the heavens my family is the opposite. If I call, they answer unless they actively can’t (work, driving, emergency) and even then they’ll text a quick ‘busy’ then call after!

    I hate that we have turned into this as a society.

    I literally can’t take a shit in peace because my wife is blowing up my phone. Like GFD give me 5 minutes to wipe my ass and I’ll call you back!

      I literally dont text chat with anyone because everyone treats them as forever chats. Like we need to learn how to say bye to each other again or something, see you later.
