    It’s for the same bullshit reason that any difference in preferred communication style is always won by the person who responds to an email or text with a phone call. Buddy, if I actually wanted to talk, I would’ve called. It’s not my fault you have the reading ability of a drunk 5 year old.

      A life hack is that you don’t have to answer what I would perseive as an aggressive phone call. Stand you ground and keep the communication in you preferred way.

            I feel like I’m that jerk 😒. I need a way to leave a not for the guys to work on when they get to work in their morning, long before morning in my time zone. But they don’t do email so I have no choice but to text. Apparently a text is something urgent that they feel like they need to respond to immediately. I can’t win
