Hey, did you try calling me?

I love the expression “I tried calling you this weekend”

What the hell does that mean? Were you stuck under a pillar and couldn’t reach the phone? Did you dial 6 numbers and then hang up?

I think the correct term is “I was going to call you but…” and some sort of reason why you didn’t. I tried calling you this weekend kind of sounds like you are incapable of making a phone call. Anyway, Happy Monday.
