Agreed. Really, how hard is it to respond to a text? What's it take...30 seconds to a minute to respond.

Dammit, karp. I was really hoping this thread would not get any responses.

Not if you have a flip phone

Hm. Context is really important here.

I try to hold to my boundaries. Don't text in the car unless stopped and try to avoid it then. Same with phone calls. After 5 pm. Off days. Lunch time. You answer one text and they know they've got you.

none of those scenarios are applicable, as several attempts have been made.

this person is a repeat offender (not with me but with others) so basically what it boils down to is pure ignorance.

i can understand the "oops sorry missed that text/call/email" or "sorry i've been so busy" (altho the busy excuse doesnt really fly with me this day in age when it literally takes 5 seconds to respond to a text or email), but a response was needed because it effects an entire team of people that are kinda reliant on this person.

If you leave me a voicemail at work, I'm almost surely not calling you back.

I'd never thought about the fact that "ignore" and "ignorant" have kind of opposite meanings despite how similarly they're spelled.

I also hate voicemails. The only reason I ever respond to them is because I get them sent to me as an email so I can at least flag it and remember if I responded.
