Because if you do you will have to have surgery done to retrieve your phone

"No. You justify calling me on the phone first"

I have two voicemail messages from a Veritas guy. He called me to talk about something he needs to call another guy for, and right near the end he mentions that he has the guy's email and will just use that instead of the phone number for him that he was gonna use earlier in the message to me.

Or that's how the message was transcribed. The other voicemail was just a hangup from his number.

And there it sits as I don't even know how to go in and kill the message. I'll be with this company 10 years and have those two messages in my voicemail.

I wonder how many people just say "fuck off." I know I would.

I’ve responded to similar questions with “I will not explain.”

Don't owe an explanation about this works well also. Very direct way to close a failed sales attempt.

It's a standard contact page used by the UK government. Any time they might need to get in touch with you about whatever form you've just filled out, that bad boy is sitting there...mocking me and my reluctance to talk on the phone with anyone....

Whenever I've been called by them the person was nice

Oh definitely, I just really don't like talking on the phone. I live in Scotland, but I'm back home in Canada right now visiting my dad. I've had one call with my wife longer than 10 minutes since I landed 2 weeks ago. She's fine(ish) with it, because she knows it gets my anxiety on overdrive to talk on the phone. No idea why, I'm pretty ok with in person talking, but for some reason talking on the phone has me spiralling in a matter of minutes.
