"Hi. What do you want? Ok, got it. Bye."
It drives me crazy when people just want to talk. I'm very visually-oriented, so a lot of my communication is done with body language and facial expressions. I hate not being able to see someone's face or read words on page. My hearing is also pretty ****ty after so long of blasting music far louder than it should be, so I miss a lot of what I hear.
Not to mention, there is nobody in my life with the common courtesy to SHUT THE **** UP when I'm on the phone. I am neither interested in nor capable of holding two separate conversations at once, and when two people talk to me at the same time I don't understand either one.
Raaaaaaage. I hate phones. Up until college, I didn't even own a cell phone...and as is, it's for necessary communication only. Call me without something specific you want, and it'll be a very short talk indeed.
