Actually, Lately I prefer people calling me. All other notifications are silent.

“I’ll call you back” only works if somebody keeps his sound active.

All of the following are severely unappreciated:

- Needless texts.

- Endless text/chat chains. (A call would be better.)

- Interminable phone conversations. I'm not referring to talking to a friend, I'm referring to transactional calls where the transaction fails to occur.

- Endless email chains. As with texts. At least the increment size is larger. Again: fish or cut bait. Interactive discussion should be interactive.

- Anything unsolicited.

I've become quite hard to reach. It suits me fine.
