i loathe talking on the phone... i especially hate making phone calls... i love email, i love texting and i pray to get someone's answering machine or voicemail when i do make a call... even as a teenager, i hated talking on the phone... i do think it's gross to ignore your kids while texting... i see that often...
I’m the same way. I hate talking on the phone. Hate hate hate it. I spend the entire time pacing around, one finger in my ear, yelling “WHAT WAS THAT??” I’m not hard of hearing, I just can’t process voices unless I can see the face too. Moreover, I hate being trapped with someone who doesn’t take the cues that you want off the phone. I’d rather email any day. I do limit texting to stuff like “Be there in 20 minutes” and “Are you already at the meeting?”
