Two panel image. Line art side view of a woman looking at her phone. Second panel shows same woman looking up in exasperation while holding her phone.
Text above reads: ‘Are you busy?’ Me: ‘No’ Incoming video call
"Oh, sorry, you meant for a call? No, I'm in a meeting already, I'm free to do stuff but I can't answer a call."
I can hear the groan in this image.
swipes to decline
Not being busy != Free for a call of any kind.
Leave me alone. 😭
"I am shitting, so i'il not answer unless ya want to ear the orchestra"
That isn't asking me if I'm available for a call. So rude.
"yes unless it involves beer"
I don’t mine regular phone calls but fuck video calls. I only ever do those if I am far away and haven’t seen my parents in a long time. Also fuck spam callers in general and hope they all get throat cancer for being leaches on society.
Just reply with Nohello.net
huh. i have somehow managed to instill within myself a penchant for unambiguous specificity in response to this question before this ever became a problem for me.
"Are you busy?"
"I am not available for any communication at this moment except for textual.
I anticipate my response time shall be approximately between 30 and 300 seconds."
I hate typing on a phone and I love the opportunity to knock a conversation that would've happened over 2-4 hours in 2 minutes.
Haven't had one ever. You know you don't have to have them?
