I just don't understand why they do this. They have not publicized their numbers, so it's not like just anyone would call them just to chat, but they are not available in emergencies and there have been many over the years.

Don't you think a 67 yr old should carry a cell phone when going out for a 5-mile run? Sheesh!
I view it as something out of my control. Why get worked up about something someone else is choosing? They don't want to know that grandma died and when the funeral is? Ultimately, it's their problem that they missed it. Yeah, other people might get hurt feelings but again, you can't control it so why waster energy on it?

I get this a lot with customer and clients. No voice mail? Fine, if I have a question about your job and can't get a hold of you, your stuff gets bumped to the back of the line. I make a note of how many times I **tried** to contact them and leave it at that.
