  I would rather walk several miles to deliver a message in person than make a quick phone call.

    If you pick right there’s a small but nonzero chance that you and your brothers can work to overthrow the emperor in a temple rebellion

  Why’s everyone so averse to a phone call? You can communicate so much more and so much more quickly

    I work in a non-native language, so for me it’s SO much harder to do this in real time than asynchronously where i have copy/paste available to me if I don’t know a word

    In the office world, I would prefer things in writing. People that want to avoid email and call instead usually want something “off the books”.

    Also, what is so hard about writing what you want? I always tell people to email me and all the email says is ‘call me’. You got as far as opening your email client and typing call me, you can just write the thing you want.

      You can avoid a lot of back and forth with a call. Sometimes something is easier to explain through voice too, especially if sharing your screen helps.

      Yeah we have very different jobs. My job often requires a lot of back and forth. Totally understand wanting to get things in writing though, there are a select few people who I always follow up our phone conversation with an email summary lol

    Because phone calls are more intrusive. I have to stop what I’m doing to properly pay attention and I have to be in a place where I can speak out loud.

      But, like, you get to pick when to answer the call or when to call back. You don’t have to answer when you’re in the middle of something else. But not answering a call because then you’d have to “properly pay attention” is certainly indicative of our times lol

  On second thought, I’ll take the meeting.
