    Alternately why bother leaving a message when they just ask you why you called when they do call back?

    Then again I’m old enough to have had to use a rotary phone so that could be a factor in my personal experience

      If you’re like me and old enough to have used one of those phones then I don’t understand your perspective at all. I didn’t know who called me if I missed a call back then. So I couldn’t return it. Answering machines didn’t come till much later. And then again if they didn’t leave a message I wouldn’t know so therefore wouldn’t return the call.

      If someone calls me and doesn’t leave a message, or then doesn’t send a text, I assume they didn’t mean to call or that it wasn’t that important and I just let it go. Not worth my time.
