    Yep. Basically any generation that grew up with texting and chat kinda leans this way… so millennials and younger. But also some gen x.

    Phone calls are for things that can’t wait and need the other person to drop what they’re doing, and things urgent like that tend to be medical or work stuff. Or things time sensitive in another way.

    Demanding the other person stop what they’re doing to attend to you immediately is considered kinda rude for minor topics when such an easy and less pushy alternative is available.

      That’s funny, because my mom loses her shit if I don’t respond to her text message within 15 minutes. Then she rants on how her family abandoned her and she may as well be dead.

      Every damn time.

      She doesn’t call anymore though.
