Phones

[andrewducker]

I noticed a few reaction posts to my poll yesterday - and a fair amount of commentary that making phone calls unnerved quite a few people. It doesn't bother me at all, so I quizzed a few people about what it was about making phone calls they didn't like. Likewise with phone etiquette. Hence, a new poll.

In that example you are talking about a specific person who you are entirely happy to call and have that chat with. If however we started off in text and I hadn't previously made plans for a time and venue I would probably have called you in response to either your inital text, or in this case as you're the reciever I would have expected you to call me back. To me a text is generally a way of initiating a 'I would like to talk to you when it's convenient for you' type scenario, especially as I have mom commitements which I undertake most evening and can often be in the middle of homework support/making dinner.
