Quite. I mean how long does it take to ask when you're going down the pub?
I'm strictly a text-man, I find that texting eliminates the "uhhming" and "ahhing" of people trying to remember the topic or fill any silences. If I'm going anywhere then it's a simple text from me, if they choose to call me instead of texting back, I don't answer, lol. It should only go beyond texting onto calling if there's a specific piece of information to pass on.

If I do have to talk to anyone who isn't my other half or my family, then I basically grunt a few times and hang up!

The worst kind of people are the ones who call you just to "have a chat" or "just to see what you're up to."
