[theqoo] THE YOUNGER GENERATION FINDING PHONE CALLS TO BE 'RUDE' NOWADAYS

"It's about a teacher who runs a study group in a research group. One of the students didn't show up to their appointment. So one of the researchers in their 20s thought "Oh looks like the student is late? I'll just text them." The teacher said "The clock is ticking, please call them" to which the researcher in their 20s replied "I told you I'll text them~." But it's already been 15 minutes, why not just call them? "I'll text them I said!" they replied.

Because for the younger generation, making phone calls is considered rude!

"When they hear the phone alarm, their hearts start racing. It's called "Call Phobia," a difficulty making phone calls, and in severe cases, symptoms such as a racing heart or cold sweats."

Number of mentions of call phobia

"It's a growing trend globally"

"In the past, people easily pick up the phone. But now, people text instead of picking up the phone"

Phone calls are inconvenient because you have to answer them to find out. Texts and emails are more clear and concise.

You could just call and tell them directly, but writing them down is more inconvenient.

1. I feel like it's just call phobia, I don't think it has anything to do with different generations

2. It's because when you pick up the phone, it's either bad news or unwanted ads ㅋㅋ But if you're this avoidant of calls, I don't think you'll even answer to texts either and would just ignore everything..

3. I just feel like those r*tarded avoidant types are getting more and more numerous

4. If you don't want to get called, then don't create a situation where people will call you? Or call them in advance to say you're late

5. How are people like them supposed to work in an office ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's not like you need to talk with foreigners, why are people like that..

6. Me too I have call phobia, so I prefer to receive texts, but there are just situations where you can't help but call? If you're late, there's no use in texting

7. You're allowed to hate calls, but if you're in a pressing situation, or have an appointment, don't be late and we won't call you?

8. Just how much babying do we need to do for those people?

9. People are just becoming complete fools ㅠㅠ Ugh

10. Then don't be late in the first place
