I agree, but I still have this idea that it's rude to text people unless you have gotten permission first. I think it's a relic from the 2000s-2010s when not everyone's phone had texting and if you did text them they could get charged by their phone provider. Obviously nowadays that's much less of a concern, but still feels like a social grey area for some reason

It is completely opposite to that in my circles. It would be weird to call people without texting them first. In fact, one of my best friends texted me to ask if he could call me.

That definitely makes sense too, particularly when making new friends in my age group. I guess it's just when contacting people for business vs social communications? I'm not sure

Yeah, that's an archaic mindset. Most people would rather get a text these days.

That’s so funny. I feel like it’s rude to call without texting first
