    I feel seen. My wife thinks I’m crazy for straight up ignoring my phone now. If you aren’t in my contacts your calls are ignored and VMs are deleted without listening. Period.

      I listen to the first couple of seconds of voicemails but 99% of the time I’m deleting at second 2 or 3.

      I did get a needed call the other day, our cat had gotten its collar off and a neighbor took it to a shelter. Fortunately he was microchipped and we got a call very quickly and got him, he only had to spend about an hour at the shelter. He was still very stressed out. The neighbor was kind of a dick, there are a lot of cats without collars in our area and most of them are just outside cats that get fed outside.

      Our cat used to be one of those, but the owner died and we took it, and he’s 13 and doesn’t want to wear a collar so he figures out how to break that mother fucker off all the time. If he didn’t have a breakaway collar, he would probably choke himself to death.
