Calling someone out of the blue is rude nowadays, because mainly we only get spam calls.

Texts and emails are better, and if you just want to talk for a while, schedule it with a text.

Hey, call me when you can tonight, nothing urgent.

This is the new Way.

The "nothing urgent" almost always gets left out and I end up a ball of anxiety from it. Just give me some details on what to expect. fuck.

I feel you deep in my marrow on this one which is why I go out of my way to let people know, and am explicit what the unpleasantness would be if it was urgent. Better to rip off the bandage quick than say the dreaded 'We need to talk..........................'
