Most people seem to get the picture after waiting for a day or two. There was one very special individual who gave me 4 "Hello!"s in a row spaced 24 hours apart before just giving up forever, though.

How hard is it to go "Hello [your name], I need to ask you a quick question. The interocitor is blah blah, etc" You get your polite hello for those who absolutely must and you state your question all in one message.

I've switched with my parents to start like "hey, is this an emergency?" and if not, "what can I do for you?" If it's just "oh, just wanted to talk." Cool, we can go from there if I'm not busy. But lets establish loving priorities first. Do I need to get my med gear? Get the truck running? What sort of clothes do I need? Do I need a loving PFD? Is everyone breathing? Do I need to make a 911 call? Has anyone done that yet if needed? Every boomer call is either "mom is dead" or "do you wanna play golf?". Stop abusing the phones you old fucks.

I don't get angry at my mom for just wanting to talk to me, but she absolutely loves to do the whole switcheroo where she texts me something like "we need 2 talk. IMPORTANT FAMILY ISSUES!!" then when I call her up she spends 20 minutes telling me about how her friend Sharon's daughter had a birthday party but the cake was wrong but it was still an okay party and also I should get in touch with Sharon's neighbor's cousin who is about my age and also knows things about computers so we'd probably become best friends. The worst part is that there usually actually is some important bit of information that she needs to tell me, she's just holding it hostage to keep me on the line to tell me about a bunch of people I'll never meet.

It's just that after a certain age, every phone call has a 50/50 chance of being either "so and so died" or "my email isn't working". It's stressful!

The Butcher posted:I've switched with my parents to start like "hey, is this an emergency?" and if not, "what can I do for you?" On this note, people who have no boundaries for calling you. My dad and a few other boomer family members in town will straight up call me up at 6am because that's when they're already up and at 'em and want to chat about something. Motherfuckers, I work nights do not call me before 9am at the earliest unless someone's dead. Whoever invented the do not disturb function for cell phones deserves more money than Bezos and to get blowjobs three times every day. I've never slept so good since my phone got that feature. Yes I know I could have turned it off but then I'd need an actual alarm clock like a caveman. Then they have the audacity to get pissed at me for not always being available to chat, like motherfuckers, respect other people's time and simple, basic boundaries. I judge people who expect others to always be available be it family or bosses or work or whatever. gently caress 'em.

People who not only use speakerphone in public, but also hold it like a star trek communicator or, even worse, a remote control up to their mouth. Riding motorcycles. People who don't stand still. Like, they are otherwise normal people but like they have to sway back and forth or side to side the whole time when waiting for something. Loud eaters. Like, smack lips loud. People who don't put weights back on the racks. People who ask two yes/no questions back to back without letting you answer.

Just loving tell me what you need to tell me. I'm convinced they enjoy stringing people along and making them think it's something important. Had a boss a long time ago who'd call people into his office and then just chit-chat. This is the same poo poo from people with less power.

I even preface my dumb bullshit question texts to friends with "hey, this is not a priority at all, when you have time: [question]". Don't loving phone me out of the blue unless I expect it or something/you is actually on fire. I will respond immediately to an emergency, but if you want to talk about what you cooked for dinner and what aunt Kathy is up to when I'm driving, NO. BAD USE OF PHONE. People are different though. Wife and her mom will just initiate random calls and talk about nothing for an hour straight. Makes them both happy, so power to them. But I lean more: Relevant information. Now. Concise. Proceed.

Any time I see a Canadian flag flying on a pickup truck now from a hockey stick, I'm like, "great, nazis." This is usually corroborated with all the other insane bumper stickers. I don't really give a gently caress about national pride/symbolism but they could have at least not ruined the flag for everyone. It's rude.

I must have missed the drama surrounding the Canadian flag during the winter there was this thing called the "trucker convoy" where truckers were mad they couldn't cross the border without being vaccinated, it snowballed into a general fascist rally and descended on the capital, where the city and provincial police revealed how compromised by fascists they were when they refused to break it up, and finally trudeau sent in the feds to disperse them (gently and softly). the canadian flag became a tacit show of support for this group during this time you even had fascists in far away places like nz and aus waving canadian flags at their antivax rallies, which felt really gross as a canadian and the whole episode made me really ashamed of my country

People who say what before you've even finished your sentence. Like maybe try listening to the rest of it and you might get the gist of the first bit by context? I swear there's one co worker almost everything has to be said twice to her because of this. It's a shame that chuds have stolen the Canadian flag. Used to be a pretty innocuous sight in Europe. Most times you'd see it, it would be on a backpack from someone making sure no one mistook them as American. And someone desperate not to be sent as American is usually at least halfway decent in my book. Used to be anyway, sigh.

You can also use the big truck style HONNNNNK while making your way. It literally does confuse people enough that it works. By the time they decide to be angry, you are already clear. May work better if male or with male escort.
