Leaving notes and texting instead of speaking

Notes on doors, texts to the next room…

.

Adella: The neighbor often wants to use the driveway for her visitors’ cars and repairman trucks. She used to knock on the door and politely ask permission. Now she just leaves a note taped to the front door. ‘Apologies for the inconvenience. Call me if you need the vehicle moved.’ Even when she knows I’m at home. Doesn’t even ring the doorbell.

.

Janet: Presumptuous.

.

Adella: Or maybe she doesn’t like to speak. Or be seen. She’s elderly and doesn’t look too good. Covers her face when she speaks.

.

Janet: Maybe communication style? My daughter texts me even when she’s sitting in the next room.

.

Adella: No.

.

Janet: True.

Voice-over

Maybe some prefer remote communication. Young people texting each other, old people leaving notes on doors.
