  • I feel that way when it comes to spam e-mails, useless repetitive notifications, etc. I actually have most of my notifications turned off because they can be a distraction, and I get tired of the ones I don't care about.

    I also can't stand the scam calls I get on a near daily basis. I hate being called while I'm in the middle of something, and it infuriates me when it's one of those idiots. The worst part about it is that I can't even chew them out because A) it always ends up redirecting to a "no longer in service" number, and B) if I answer the call, I get 10x the amount because they put me on a list of callers that pick up and sell it to the other scammers. All I can do is keep blocking numbers, though it's pretty useless since most of the time they just use a new number.

    If you don't want notifications, you can always turn them off or disable your social media (even if just temporarily), too.

    • I've had notifications turned off everywhere for nearly 7 years. For everything. But now I've joined a professional group where my full name shows up on their (our) website, along with my picture. I still don't want to get notifications for anyone else's activity on Insta or FB but they keep popping up. I stopped being "tech-savvy" - on purpose because I hate being on display - years ago.

      Now I have to deal with it because it's part of the position. Great, but I still get notified of things I do not care for.

      I hate this decade!
