I delay texts both reading and responding to not be a slave to my phone or to your whims. I don't owe you immediate gratification. Texts are really disruptive. About 40% of the time that thing you asked me that I didn't respond to you about took care of itself or you figured it out yourself and are maybe better for it.

    If texts are disruptive then an unsolicited phone call is an affront to all creation

  • Sure. Treat them the same way. If you don't VM it's probably not important enough for me to call back. I'll Call you back when I'm driving, its a great time to talk. Also, you're not going to call me about as dumb as a thing as you are going to txt me. The threshold to interact this way is much higher, it's a natural BS screen.
