But it they are in the middle of something they could lose half a minute of time instead of 5 seconds checking a text. It’s the same as opening a phone call with ‘got time to talk’ but more efficient.
No it doesn’t. Just don’t pick up the phone. If it’s important they’ll text you to pick up the phone. There’s a reason the terms “phone tag” and “screening calls” exist.
But you don’t know the relative importance of what they’re telling vs what you’re doing. A text gives more information than just seeing your receiving a call.
You will feel terrible if you don’t pick up the phone and it turns out to be something important, like being able to hear the last words of your grandma or something.
Texting is a lot less of a big deal than a phone call is.
Why not text ‘wanna talk sometime’? A call demands an immediate response, so reserve it for things that demand immediate responses.

Oh no, 30 whole seconds.
It adds up. Why waste other people’s time? I think it can be inconsiderate.
If you think talking to a loved one on the phone for 30 seconds is a waste of time, you might want to evaluate your priorities.

Thanks for waking me up from the one nap I’ve gotten this year.
I’m sorry, what’s “phone tag” and “screening calls”? Never heard of any of that.

Damn dude, it’s not that big a deal. Just don’t pick up the phone. If it’s important they’ll find a way to let you know.
if you don’t pick up they’ll get mad and say you never pick up your phone
