    Cold calls are rude. My 76 year old mom will not cold call because she understands convention.

    Hardline phones had no way to ensure the timing of a call was considerate. Tech has moved on, and coordination is trivially easy. It is, in my opinion, rude to call or a sign of significant import.

    If my mom calls without texting, it’s an accident or imprtant/urgent.

        You are a data point. However, I can probably guarantee you that people do not appreciate your approach to calls. If you’re in the US, at least.

        Given your grumpy retort to my anecdote about my preference, I’m going to wonder about your warmth.
