I get the notification thing. I can’t stand abrasive notifications, but do not disturb schedules are a thing and can be set to allow certain people through (at least on Android).
Mild sidebar: I switched from a decade’s long iPhone use to Android. They’re so much more customizable. Tell me again how my phone is better? People are there ridiculous blue bubble cult, smh.
The most frustrating thing to me is when I’m with her in person she always has her phone, when I try to call she’s like [what the hell is this ringing thing]
I keep mine on silent too. It’s fucking annoying how often people are trying to contact me or send me shit. I ended up on the phone for two hours this morning playing therapist for a coworker, time I’ll never get back.
I have my settings to discard everything after 30 days but it still gets ridiculous so every couple weeks I delete all texts and recent calls. That’s only the stuff I’ve ignored too. It blows my mind how much people are obsessed with their phones.
Mines on silent unless I’m asleep so work can call me if necessary. If I’m awake there’s no reason not to be texting me instead. If I deem it necessary I’ll call back but you better fucking tell me what it’s about in the message and not just “Hey call me” or some other vague nonsense.
One time there was a real emergency and couldn’t reach my wife. So I activated find my iPhone on her phone. It will ring at full volume no matter what. Not to abuse but useful in times of emergency.
Good to know, thanks. Wife also forgets to unmute her phone and she only answers the phone if it’s me, so if she’s aware of where I am and doesn’t expect me to be calling, she ignores any call.
She loses her phone like 15 times a day and asks if I can help find it, im like yeah I’ll just ring it knowing full well she has the fucking thing on silent, and she replies with its on silent… Welp I tried to help looks like you’re on your own with this one, good luck in your search, to which she replies something along the lines of go fuck yourself
My fucking life with my wife and son. I honestly hope I get into a car accident with the steering column impaled in my chest so I can call them with my dying breaths to say I love them, only to have them not pick up because their ring is on mute. Then I’d come back as a total DICK of a ghost saying ‘See? I told you to turn your ring volume up!’
This is the exact reason I set up my phone to go on ring mode at full blast whenever someone truly important calls me. I know they’d only call me whenever it’s important (because I’ve told them beforehand that this happens, so they text if it’s not important).
