Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk.

Why couldn’t this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?

Oh, so if there’s a fire in the building I should quietly slip a note under your door and assume you got it?

How often does a fire break out next to you? You make it sound like it’s a daily occurrence.

If I didn’t hear the fire alarm, I certainly won’t hear your call.

So you admit that I’m the one with the correct concept of a phone?

Also the fire alarm battery was dead, and the entire thing was an analogy anyway.

Either way out of courtesy, I will retire from this battle of wits; it appears you’ve come unarmed.
