    Isn’t it? On a cell phone it demands that I drop what I’m doing at a moment’s notice and respond to your inquiry. Unless it is something time-sensitive, the call probably should have been scheduled or a text message would have served the purpose without demanding an instant response

      “Hi, do you have time for the call now?”

      “No, Im busy right now, I will call you back.”

      Yeah its like walking into a room without knocking, while im talking to someone and just screaming at the top of your lungs: “WE NEED TO TALK RIGHT NOW”

      If you did that irl without a very good reason i would slap you.

      Right? IMO it’s rude to just call someone out of the blue and expect that they’ll be able to drop everything to chat with you.

      Unfortunately, my mom loves to call unannounced, and because my parents are getting older I feel the need to answer in case something’s wrong.
