It's remarkable how phone etiquette seems to be a relic of the past in today's world. A simple act that should be second nature, announcing who you are and where you're calling from has become a rare occurrence. In an era filled with scams, phishing attempts, and robocalls, every incoming call feels like a potential trap if this basic courtesy isn't extended. It's as if common courtesy has taken a backseat to anonymity and suspicion. If we've reached a point where we're hesitant to answer our phones because we can't trust the caller to properly identify themselves, it's a telling sign of how far we've strayed from the norms of respectful communication. It's time to reclaim phone etiquette, as it's not just about politeness, but also about building trust in a world riddled with uncertainty.
