He wears an ID bracelet with my info in there and our alarm system at home has the number as well. This gives us both needed independence. When we are together, it is either off or silenced.
I DO NOT sit and engage in idle chatter.

I think it's listening to loud idle chatter that bothers most people.
In your case that doesn't happen, and a short call shouldn't bother anyone.

I find it annoying when people have cell phones programmed to play loud music when they ring, and the owners appear helpless to find their phones. It's especially bothersome when it happens at church or during a movie.
