I absolutely detest talking on the phone. I'm sure other people have vastly different reasons for this shared hatred, but I have bad social anxiety and it really gets set off by using the phone :/.

Have you been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder? Because that sounds fairly serious.

What about you, civil?

I just hate talking into a piece of plastic without seeing someone. I have zero social anxiety about it, it just annoys the fuck out of me. The only people I talk to with anything even remotely approaching regularity are my parents and my wife. Hell, I'll Skype before talking on the phone.

Poor Ink. I really did come in to post that interview with John Reilly. Which I hope at least he listened to.


EDIT:

Replied before I saw your post, Josh. Ask those of us that went to karaoke in NYC this April if I have any social anxieties.

That story ends with hookers, doesn't it, civil?

A couple days before the movie releases and there are 9 reviews up at Rotten Tomatoes, 7 fresh, 2 rotten, for a 78% fresh rating. That's a small fraction of the reviews that will be written about the film in the next week, so that number can swing in either direction.

He doesn't even need to ask us. There's footage all over youtube.

That was also the night in which Kevin and I both nearly died of exploded bladders.


Edit - Yeah, Wreck-It Ralph looks great, btw. I forgot what this thread was about.

I've got a crazy weekend ahead so unfortunately I won't be able to see this until at least early next week.

I hate talking on the phone, myself. Annoyed one of my old girlfriends to no end. I can talk on Skype just fine, strangely enough.

I dislike talking to voicemail. I have no patience for a poor connection. If someone's cellphone is garbling their voice, I hang up. None of that, 'what? Can you hear me now? Huh?' Eff that. Call me when you have a decent signal in a quiet place.

I used to talk a lot more on land lines.

Usually, I talk on the phone when I'm out and trying to coordinate something. Actually, phone becomes a tool to coordinate time/place to meet people in real life to have real conversations.

Learning proper grammar can be difficult, but it can be quite rewarding.

TL;DR, "Fixed that for you".
