    Er what, people have been doing that since long before the plague happened, id say it started becoming commonplace around the time when SMS became widespread and not being charged per-text lmao

      Interesting. I guess I must not talk to people on the phone a lot because I hadn’t really experienced that much before.

        I think it’s somewhat age gated. But I love it. A phone call out of nowhere means I need to drop everything and give you my full attention, and I have to make that decision within 20 seconds or it’s too late.

        A text first gives me so many more options. Especially if I like to prepare, for example, stepping out of the crowded office. Or parking the car. (Which still works even if I don’t read texts until parked.)
