I watched a film this weekend where someone had to phone a friend to tell her some bad news. While it was ringing, she repeated to herself, "Don’t pick up, don’t pick up".
It made me think of the times I have HAD to phone someone, not text, either I don’t want to talk to, or whom I had to talk about something difficult – and the sense of relief when the answerphone kicked in. This’ll come in handy one day….
Ah I know that one!

Lets be honest, one of the greatest feelings is when you get to leave a voicemail for someone you have to speak to. You feel you’ve done your ‘duty’ without having to really get involved. Voicemail is the ‘communication immigration’ department.

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I avoid using the phone at all costs. I simply hate speaking to people on the wretched things, and I resent making the effort to call people. Naturally I don’t leave voicemail messages either.
Face to face, text or email. All are ok.
Antisocial? Yep, that’s me.
