So basically the perfect question for the internet?

So you admit that I’m the one with the correct concept of a phone?

Also the fire alarm battery was dead, and the entire thing was an analogy anyway.

Either way out of courtesy, I will retire from this battle of wits; it appears you’ve come unarmed.

Oh, so if there’s a fire in the building I should quietly slip a note under your door and assume you got it?

As I have stated I only call if it’s an emergency (I’m in an accident, im in danger, someone else is hurt) or it’s time sensitive (someone has face value Taylor Swift tickets at work, want me to get them for you?) I almost always text first, wait 5 min then try calling, I’m not a monster.

I find it pretty self important of people to cut off last resort real time communication with close friends and family because you think 2 minutes of your day is that much more important.

You can configure unknown numbers to go to voicemail. Heck you can make it so that only a certain subset of people ring.

Shame on you for blocking everyone instead of learning how to filter communication, and double shame on you if you get mad when you missed something that someone was trying every possible method to get a hold of you.

Dear Sir / Madame I am writing to inform you of a fire at 123 Carrington Road. Looking forward to meeting you. Yours Truly Morris Moss

If I’m calling it’s an emergency or extremely time sensitive. Otherwise I text. I can understand when you don’t want app or even text notifications. But understand and accept the risk that comes with it.

What pisses me right the fuck off is when I call, then call again, then text, then text again, and you, “mr/mrs im so important I can’t be bothered by notifications” are somehow offended at me because you missed out on something because you didn’t bother properly configuring two calls in a row from a known contact through your deny-by-default filter.

Those people, family or not, can fuck right off.

I don’t like telemarketing or spam calls. But I also take responsibility and check if it’s actually important. It’s nbd to me to hang up on a spam call. And to be honest I have gotten a fair share of legitimate calls from numbers I don’t recognize.

TL;DL Answer ya damn phone, you damn well know tiktok and insta still gonna be there 5 seconds from now

Правда?

FPS are an adventure/puzzle game where the only solution is “USE GUN ON MAN”

BOFH: hooked up the mains to the doorknob and asked a luser to bring their laptop over for personal attention and repair.

Let’s say there is a user lmicroservice. I’m on a UI team. I don’t get to tell the user service team what, or when, to implement any features.

I’m tasked with making a page displaying all the users who have a birthday this month.

User API service can only search by user id, email, display name, or nickname.

Now instead of just querying the goddamn database, a one line fucking SQL statement, I have to deal with the user team, getting them to first off even admit that my use case is valid, convince them to work on the feature, coordinate with them to make sure the query works, sorts the data the way I need, etc, et. al, blah blah blah.

They already have the next 3 sprints full so I’m sitting on my ass for the next month before I can test.

Meanwhile they decide they’re gonna implement a super generic thing, and so despite me working on code that we talked about using an interface we talked about, they implement something else so i have to throw out half my work anyway.

Then when I finally start using it I find, oh, it doesn’t support a sort, only returns 100 results max with no pagination, so if there’s 200 this month with a birthday fuck the 2nd hundred they don’t show up because they’re implementing bare minimum and the rest is slated for another sprint.

And it was then, your Honor, I grabbed the lead dev for the user microservice and tossed him off the 9th story of the building.
