Is there anything more annoying than people who can't carry a conversation over the phone?

Talking to people who take 3-5 seconds to respond after you say something is so painfully awkward.

Maybe stop calling people then? Sounds like they don't want to talk to you.

I prefer to order my Werther's Originals the old fashioned way. Either by phone or letter correspondence.

Yes. People who think that you are required to immediately answer a call or a text and get offended if you don't get back to them fast enough. Sorry baw. I was raised in a land line world and I'll get back to you when I feel like it.

This is a direct result of texting. Nobody knows how to carry on a one on one conversation anymore.

Be a man and look them straight in the eye. You sound like a Beta Baw.

Kinda hard to do that over the phone. Maybe you should get back to your welding and let us converse, tattoo.

There’s nothing more annoying than someone who wants to talk nonstop on the phone. I mean, shite. Don’t waste my time talking about unimportant shite.

I have a buddy who does this. It drives me absolutely insane. I'll think the call dropped because he'll sit there for 5 seconds before saying anything.

One of my brothers gets furious when his call goes to voice mail..He would leave a nasty message saying that "you are so important that you can't answer".. I just laugh and tell him he thinks he is so important that I should drop everything to answer his call.. One of the many reasons I don't keep up with family...

Maybe he's wondering why TF you are calling him when a simple GD text could have sufficed

Sometimes, in this thing we call the real, grown up world, you have to carry on business related phone conversations. Texts or emails aren’t always acceptable to Professional people’s.

Some people just suck at socializing and carrying on a real conversation. I partly blame texting for that issue.

People who need to have a conversation over the phone. 1. Call me (better yet text me), 2. convey information, 3. say bye.

Nobody younger than 40 can speak on the phone.
The children think emojis are conversation. They go out, nobody speaks to each other or even makes eye contact.
Texting is not conversation or even a grasp of language. I do not understand the willingly stupid.

Yes - people that call me and try to carry a conversation. Inefficient means of communicating 95% of the time.

They are bored and reading shite on their phone while you keep talking. It takes some time to recognize you stopped talking and want some kind of response.
