... trying to leave voicemail when calling someone who specifically told you to text them?
Why are you not texting people? Do you not like the fact that there is a transcribed document that is proof of something you said? Do you say dumb shit constantly? Is new technology not for you? Do you have trouble tying your shoes in the morning? Do you have velcro sneakers? Have you not talked to people in years because of this? Are you living in shame? Or do you just talk to f****** much? What's the reason? Please surprise me by actually typing out your response. You get double the points if you did it on your smartphone. You get triple the points if you use one you own and not your child's. |

You could just leave your voicemail full like a normal person.

I Hate texts.
If you have something important to say, call me. If not, I probably won’t read the text for a day or two |

Dear young people;
Call us when you invent something like the mouse or a vacuum tube. Then old people might grace you with their notice. |
|
Hate to break it to you but with a join of 2002, you are old too

Uh, I just talk into my phone, and it turns it into a text.
Pure magic! Old, I am. ![]() |
|
when in business I need to convey intent, urgency to "do your fucking job" I need you to hear that in my voice as professionalism doesn't allow me to write it. Or I need to relay highly technical specs and am not going to type out a novel to you. answer your damn phone next time, its not like you dont know who it is.
How's that? |
|
Because we still have social skills and actually talk to people.
|

Not sure if I qualify as old, 37.
I’ll text if the information I need to convey is brief, a couple sentences or less. I’ll call if I need to say more than that, then follow up with an e-mail for a paper trail on things that need a paper trail. |
|
Maybe you should write a letter about it and mail it to the person with whom you are having an issue.
I mean, a stamp is only 55 cents. |

OP says, you can't picture sagging boobs through a phone call!

I like that youngsters just want to text.
I don't text therefore I don't have to mess with them. ![]() |

My voicemail sends me a text transcript, not always 100% right but close enough.

troll View Quote I am not alone. Most managers are exempt, so there you are, a double standard. BTW - it's not "old people" who are having the problem. It's "old school" people. As in "I sent three emails in the last hour, and they STILL won't reply!" See "These a--holes have horrible Customer Service!" threads. |
|
Because sometimes a 30-second phone call is easier than 25 back-and-forth texts.
And BTW, my 82 year-old mother loves to text on her Note. |
|
I never text people I know to be vapid dildos.
I would not text OP regardless of his "instructions". |

If you want to talk to me, "Talk to me". Otherwise Fuck Off. I am not here for your convenience.

I love when they send the whole email in the subject line.
Subject: Hey Guy. I just thought it would be a good idea to keep those relay units and order a couple more of the updated ones. We could use the others as spares and it wouldn't bother the supply chain at all with keeping a different stock nubmer. We would just need to create one and add those to that new number. What are your thoughts on that. |

I have become inundated with spam nonsense.
When I changed carriers, I didn't even set vm up this time. |
