Am I nuts in remembering that back in the rotary and touch-tone days that when someone called and didn't get an answer, they didn't keep calling and calling and calling? I feel like people DEMAND to be heard, and RIGHT NOW, these days. If you don't answer, they call your partner's phone or rifle off a text or shoot off a flare or something. Zero patience. There's little trying back later or being satisfied with leaving a message. If people had to get up off their butt to use the wall phone every time they called, would this not be the case? Is it too convenient to have the phone in your pocket, so "I'll give them a minute and call again...and again...and again."?
What makes it worse is that they think YOU'RE the rude one...for not answering one of their ten rapid-fire communiques.
