[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 551130, member: 4458"] Actually I think the real problem started with the advent of texting. Different tactics work for different folks in dealing with this. I haven't had this problem now that everybody (mostly my wife and son) has been properly "trained." I turn the ringer/vibrator way down, and deal with it when I can. If they whine "I called (or texted) you six times" - I claim I was listening to music or mowing the lawn, or in the shower, and didn't hear them (often true). For me, personal confrontation about it, like I didn't want to be frickin' bothered, wouldn't bode well for long term relationships! As I said, each has to develop their own techniques. But nowadays nobody bats an eye if I don't respond right away. 8) [/QUOTE]
