We. Don’t. Want. To. It’s not that we don’t know how. I’m not sure why this bothers you so much that people choose not to deactivate a feature on their phones that isn’t impacting their lives.

Except here you all are, talking about how annoying and frustrating it is. So clearly it *does* impact your lives.

Go to the Apple Store and they can help you learn how to use your phone and remove features that are oh so archaic and annoying.

I’m not at all talking about how annoying and frustrating it is. I am explaining to people responding on this thread that OP isn’t at all unusual in not checking voicemails. Some posters here seem extremely surprised that someone wouldn’t check voicemails. I think it’s associated with age of the posters.

I’m 39 and I’ve disabled VM because I don’t use it. And then there are those of you whining how annoying ancient people who leave voicemails on, yet you leave the platform active on your phone.

You can find a young, tech savvy person to help you disable VM instead of whining and complaining about it so much.

Also, if you haven’t disabled but refuse to check it, isn’t that… just rude if someone leaves a voicemail expecting that someone at least listens to it because it’s on your phone? Why are you so rude?

People I care about don’t leave voicemails. Everyone I know texts or calls.

The people that do are usually businesses and I can see that they’ve called. If I feel like calling them back, I will. If I don’t, I won’t.

You don't get to not know how to fully utilize the functionality of your phone AND get mad that you consequently missed a message. Pick one.

It’s OP’s mom who is mad, not OP. I’m not mad either.

Interesting. What do you think OPs issue is then?

I cannot fathom a time that if I saw a call from my parent that I would wait over 7 days to check in. Especially if one of those days was a holiday and we weren’t together. Wouldn’t it be normal to check in even if they hadn’t called?

I have strangers who call me insisting I called them (those spoofed number scams). Yet OP can't even call her mom back seeing a missed call and disregarding the message?

You're a loser boomer if you call someone who you think called you.

Let's see, loser boomer or a$$hole....hmm, I'd rather be the boomer than you.

Read her original post. She was “savaged” by her mom and “doesn’t know how to react.” Then she is asking us if she is the jerk. She herself is not mad.

I don’t think she is, but my advice to her was to make amends with her mom and try to move forward.

She's mad, upset, and confused. All of them because her mom didn't offer her sympathy. She also points out in a petty way that her mom wouldn't come to her Thanksgiving where her ex-husband was. What do we know about that past relationship? Maybe her husband was an abusive jerk? Maybe her mom is just over OP and her selfish ways.

So much projection! All this over a missed voicemail. While I agree OP sounds upset, she hasn’t indicated that she is mad. I would be mad if someone told me someone died over voicemail, but OP doesn’t seem to be.

Nope, its all in the OP. She has a lot of issues with her mom. Who cares if mom skips thanksgiving with her ex and a bunch of inlaws? Why bring it up?
