Drying only one hand.

If one hand is wet I will get the other wet too just to dry both together.

People who drive without their lights on in bad weather or lower visibility.

It's called read receipts and if you turn yours off you can't see others either.

I love it!

I don't feel comfortable being that much aware of what other people are doing and I don't want people to know exactly what I'm doing.

Blue checkmarks - on Twitter and WA - are the worst.

Don’t agree. Do you also start getting all insulted if someone reads your messages and doesn’t respond. But for some reason by text you don’t care?
I sometimes read them and decide to respond later. Your life doesn’t need to run around everyone else.

What is with all the Chinese spam calls these days!!!

It doesn't stop, you can block the numbers from today till tomorrow and they just keep coming!

How is this not gaining wider attention?

Everyone I talk to says it happens to them also, there's obviously something going on and why hasn't it been picked up by the media yet?

So frustrating!!
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

It's a horrible thing. People (myself included) no longer pick up the phone for numbers they don't recognize.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Correct, if it's important enough leave a message.

I NEVER pick up but then I have to go and delete the voicemail, I started answering and immediately ending just so they don't have an opportunity to leave the message.

Fwiw I have seen it covered in the media. Here's an example.
