I love this. At some point, getting called like a dog really started bothering me.
Comment on 13 years later and I still feel the same.

My parents installed an intercom for that reason, but we lived in a pretty big house. This one isn’t that big. It’s not a huge deal though.

THIS!
I always try to explain to people why I don’t like when they just call my name across a house.
If you would like something, come ask me, or shoot me a message if it’s not super important.
I’m not a dog. I’m not a servant. You will not summon me like one. You will not snap your fingers or whistle to get my attention. If you do, you get ignored.

That’s actually what i told my GF. I tried to get her to start calling me on the phone or facetime, which is ridiculous, but I mean she could just walk over and talk to me in person too…

Daughter is based 👌
Personally, we use Alexa announcements in our house. So much easier.
