Personally I would be totally okay with my phone only working as a texting machine. My standard reply when someone wants my phone number is, " Before you call me ask yourself if this is something that can be done with a text. If the answer is no ask yourself if it's so important it can't wait until you see me". I do not like talking on the phone. I won't answer my home phone at all. Unless it's from my mom or my bonus mama across the street because if they're calling, it's important. 99% of the time my cell phone is on silent. I look at it occasionally, like when I want to know the time, I'll decide then if I want to text you back.

My late Dad was born in 1910. He believed all phone calls should last 20 seconds or less. I would get, "Hello. How are you. Here's your Mother". Much wisdom in this and many other life lessons from him.

He sounds very wise indeed. I'll be in the kitchen or something while my wife is in one of the other rooms and the phone, which is on the table next to me, starts ringing. After about 30 rings she comes in and gets it and gives me the evil eye because I just ignore it.

I got into a huge fight with my supervisor at work about a month ago about my ( work) phone. When I am out of the truck working I leave my phone in the truck. He was trying to call me. After me not answering the phone he started calling my laborer's phone. So when I finished whatever I was doing I went to the truck and called him and asked him what was so damn important that I needed to quit pulling this service in to talk to him. He went off on me, telling me I need to have my phone on me at all times, blah, blah, blah. I told him to go F himself and hung up on him. And what he was calling me about wasn't important. Now I carry my phone on me at all times. It's all beat up and covered in mud. A $1000 iPhone. I accidentally ran over it with my trackhoe a few weeks ago so now I have a brand new $1200 iPhone to trash. Whatever morons.
