This is prob the one part of the game that bugs me the most... It happened more near the beginning of the game but a ton of overlapping calls/dialogue or a complete inundation of them all at once; one after another, after another... Let me breath a little please! heh. Then mix in that there are the calls... but then, also, text messages that need replies. I feel like I'm spending half the game flipping through menus just to talk/reply to people... ugh..
The worst is when you get a call for a side job... and they are just rambling on... and during that I can not use items in the world... Example I was just about to fast travel, nope, got to wait two more minutes for this lady to shut-up on the phone; as Im dancing in front of the fast travel terminal.
