Why don't you just decline calls with text messages, or just ignore them, or simply mute your phone?

You try ignoring when the family helpdesk is called. You never hear the end of it.

  • You have way bigger problems, if a text message about the same thing is not enough. They think that you lie to them... and you do.

People take offense.

  • I think a good rule of thumb is to avoid people who have this level of lack of empathy. I can be on the toilet, running, on a roller coaster, or at a myriad of different places where I don't or even can't have my phone with me. If they think, that I avoid them because of them, then that's on them, and I cannot care less. I avoid such Mexican soap opera generator people like plague.

    • Sometimes it's not a choice who is hired and kept as your coworker. Complain and be considered difficult to work with or not a team player.
