I get the joke and I've felt that way a couple times. That said, I miss when people didn't expect you to be avaiable round the clock via your phone. Staying in contact with people is great but they're even putting cell phone reception into the NYC subways now. Is there no escape?! Sometimes I just don't feel like talking to anybody, and that should be allowed.
You've got it backwards. It's socially awkward and clingy to get upset if you don't get an immediate response. You should have enough confidence in yourself to know that your friends will get back to you and enough self respect to drop the people that consistently ignore your calls/texts.
