Don’t tell your parents about this, because it’ll break their heart.  According to a new book about 21st century etiquette, leaving someone a voicemail is now considered rude.

 

The book is called, “Kill Reply All: A Modern Guide to Online Etiquette”.  The author argues that there’s, “no purpose for voicemails in the modern age.”  And having to sit through a two-minute message is “super inefficient and inconvenient.”

 

She says you should NEVER leave voicemails now.  And if someone doesn’t pick up, just hang up and send them a text instead.

 

Spur-of-the-moment phone calls are also rude now, apparently.  Instead, she says to text first and ASK the person if they want to talk on the phone.

 

A few more rules she wants us to follow:  Don’t use periods at the end of texts, don’t ALWAYS “reply all” to group emails, and only use emojis in moderation, especially in work emails.
