I have this meme on my phone.. my wife is the texter .. I'm like call and make that appointment.. and she immediately starts looking for a web portal to schedule it.

Lol

I send it to her randomly when she's needing to call someone.

Sometimes calls work out in your favor. I've been sending emails and messages to a guy for a few days with no response over his new device and remote desktop issues. When I finally reached out, he was having work done at his house and had to keep stepping away to talk to the construction workers. Got to stretch a 30 minute fix into half a day of billable hours.

I would much rather him just follow the instructions on the email, but it's an early Friday for me.

Edit: got to finish up some project work while on hold and now my day is free after hitting my magical ticket hours for the day. Fuck this job lol

Especially frustrating when it's urgent. Yes it might "bother" the person but if you need an answer now or you need a quick back and forth to clarify, calling is so much more efficient.
