You know Bob...

I can totally understand where you are coming from. There is no substitute for a face-to-face meeting, and email is certainly no substitute for a phone conversation.

But the fact is, you're a dinosaur dude. This is the modern world; tech rules. People are using social media, e-mail and texts now. So if you're bitching about them not calling you, the only real thing you're accomplishing is that you're dating yourself and making yourself look just as out of touch as you really are.


If a phone call is important to you, don't demand that OTHER people call YOU. Instead, ask them to e-mail their phone number to YOU and YOU call THEM.

And if they text you, CALL THEM.


Being upset that other people don't do what you want or expect them to do is just wrong. You can't control other people man. That's lesson #1 from couples counseling and it's not just applicable to couples dude. It goes for everyone you interact with.


If you want something done a certain way - if you want to TALK on a phone - you make the call.

I can't make the call if they don't give me their phone number. I don't mind an e-mail or two, but FINALLY there has to be a phone call. If they don't give me a call or provide their phone number then they are SOL (that's an acronym for tough titties).
