Phone etiquette is so bad.

People call 3-4 times repeatedly in succession instead of leaving a message.

The number of times people leave voicemails without a name is bizarre, like I'm dealing with some kind of sovereign that has no need to condescend to introduce themselves.

Or when I answer, they just start issuing their demands without so much as a greeting.

It's harsh, graceless, and discouraging. We live in a coarse world.
