20 seconds of ringing can easily be 5 seconds if the first few rings dont actually ring your phone. i thought when these cellular things came out it was some dumbass limit they placed on the system for no reason. nope, it's 2022, and the max you can set your ring time is 30 seconds through the carrier.

when i was growing up, i had minutes to answer the phone. in fact, it would be annoying if i didnt answer it because it would just ring endlessly.

so no, dad, work, friends... i dont care about answering your call. im not racing to my phone every time it rings. if you cant get your point across in a few text words i seriously give zero fucks.

Phones only ring long in the movies where nobody says goodbye when hanging up the phone.
