I recall there was another similar Lemmy post using https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Category:Half-Life:_Alyx_concept_art#/media/File:FinalHoursAlyx_14_gman-kitchen.jpg that had text like “JUST GOT CALLED” and “FAT AT THE COMPANY CHRISTMAS PARTY” but I failed to find it. I expect that post inspired this one. Does anyone know how to find that post?
I’m usually this way, too. I feel kinda bad, but…they can just leave a message if it’s important, lol.
Buuut late last night, we were having quite a mess of tornadoes and storms, and my mom was out driving with a dying phone…shortly after 1AM, I got a call from an unknown number with a local area code, and I thought it may be my mom using someone else’s phone, so I made myself answer it. It was some random super high sounding dude, only said a very confused “hello?” and then hung up when I, also confused, asked who this was.
I wonder if maybe I encountered another phone-anxious weirdo, lmao.
Emergency situations are definitely something else, I agree that it’s important to answer phone calls when there’s a decent chance someone close to you might need to reach out using someone else’s phone, especially if it’s a local area code. The worst thing that’s happened to me (so far) is that I missed a call from a company that wanted to offer me a job. They sent me an email asking to call them back, and now I work for them :3

Woohoo!! I’m glad they handled it that way and didn’t get all weird about you not answering like some people do. Sounds like they handled it perfectly! I’m glad it worked out and I hope you like working for them! :)
