Text and email are polite invitations to a conversation. They happen at the speed and leisure of both the sender and the receiver. In stark contrast, when you get a phone call, it’s almost always a convenient time for the caller and a bad time for the recipient, who I refer to as the “victim” because I insist on accuracy. My philosophy is that every phone conversation has a loser.

Scott Adams: Phone (via marco)

As someone who detests talking on the phone, I fully agree with this.

(via spiers)

which is also why, when someone requests a receipt that their email has been read and you deny it, you feel like a winner.
