my problem isn't with phone calls per se, it's that seemingly no one understands how to hold a verbal conversation anymore and I have to handhold them and lead it the entire time

If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.

My personal struggle is that at some point in the early 2000's voice compression crossed a threshold where I could no longer hear what tf anyone is saying unless I'm in a very quiet room.
yep, I need to dedicate all of my focus to the call. but if they could guide me through the whatever it is we're talking about, that would be fine. They cannot.
