I don't really get the whole not answering the phone thing. I hate phonecalls but I always answer my phone.
The amount of important calls I'd have missed if I buried my head in the sand like that is insane.
Sure if 90% of the calls were sales or scams I'd think differently, but there are ways to prevent that too.
I find it weird that everyone has their phone on silent all the time too. If mine was on silent I'd never look at it unless I'm bored.
You realize that it still vibrates when on silent, so you know when you’re getting a text or phone call right?
Only if it's right by you or isn't in your bag or something. Hence audible alerts, they break through the physical barriers.
