we’re apparently all just painting hypotheticals/anecdotes so here’s mine
You probably didn’t need an immediate answer, but you wanted one. You also pressured me into making a quick decision based on 2 paragraphs of new information you just dumped on me, expecting me to not only remember all of it, but immediately understand and integrate it into my decision making process.
I’ll probably remember half of your info dump at best and the likelihood of you getting the answer you were hoping for just went down hard because I feel slighted by your ambush and because I don’t feel informed enough to give you a “yes”.
If I did say “yes” we might be in bigger trouble though, since I likely misunderstood or forgot something.
Put it in writing and make both our lives easier.
You can still call if I didn’t reply after 10 minutes.
You can even include your deadline in the message if you have one.
I’m sorry I inconvenienced you while I was down in the dig, waiting for the hole to fill up with mud. I should’ve taken off my gear and typed a whole ass messages, to be answered whenever, because you want to take your time.
It’s still faster for me to tell you that you are an idiot for calling me with a phone call you made to me than it is for me to type out a reply as a text message.

Lol. Sometimes shit needs an answer right away
Absolutely agreed, there are situations that call for a call. Some people seem to think that’s every situation though.
