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


No one is trying to communicate with you, Shiloh

This probably sums up most of the problems of today from shitty driving to long lines to piss poor verbal communication

Why don't you text like a normal fricking human being. No one wants to listen to anyone's bull shite overt the phone for hours.

Gifted communicators know how to pause in conversations. In person, you can gesture that you are thinking. Over the phone, it's good to give a "hmm" just to acknowledge what the person said and indicate you are thinking about it.

Gray hairs always want to talk on the phone. What a waste of time. I don’t want to chat about the weather, I don’t care about your stupid jokes, or your opinion on referees. If you can’t convey information in writing where I have a record of it and don’t have to waste my time with all the bullshite, then frick off.

No one likes hearing you talk grandpa.

Talking to people who take 3-5 seconds to respond after you say something is so painfully awkward.
They are too busy laughing and/or snarling at you to respond.
