...

The point is people , text messages should be quick notes about a certain topic, not a continuous back and forth relay that could easily be taking care of in one 5 minute conversation .. By the 3rd reply I just type, call me ...

It's the back and forthness of it all that makes texting worth the time of day. I don't "text notify". I prefer actual conversation.

since when does texting = actual conversation ???

Whats with your and thinking you can ALLOW me things?

First you "allow" my sub-par insult in the PYP thread and now you allow this?

Mad? Definitely not.

How about those damn chain letters. It's bad enough when it's on places like MySpace or Facebook, but !*** gets me mad when they text me a chainletter.
 
I carry on conversations sometimes. If its mutual then I would not mind. I don't like when people call me after I send them a text message however. Itdefeats the purpose of the text message.

Hey! I didn't realize you took me that serious. ALLOW me to rephrase. What I meant was, "I canunderstand your being peeved by this. That's the nature of pet peeves. They don't really require justifications or anything since that's how youfeel. So I'm the type to try to prevent your pet peeves from being triggered so that nobody has to be pissed atanybody, even if I myself don't agree with them. I'm allowing you to do you by not passing judgment. But asidefrom personal feelings, there's really nothing wrong with pointless texts if they aren't costing you money. Nobody loses". How's that?It's not the same as in allowing you to breathe, for example. I'd say it's more like stepping out of theway and allowing you to pass by unadulterated as you intended. and you can't really be mad at that, can you?Besides, I'm not a goon anyway
laugh.gif
. I haven't met one that could read this well, or type without looking down. But thank you. I didn't realize Iwas all saddled up.. my bad homie. Pals?
 
Doesn't bother me. I prefer to talk through text than on the phone sometimes. So as long as I'm not busy, we can go back and forth for all i care.

Now THAT #%$$ should be a sin. I hate being guilt tripped into bothering people at 2 AM cuz some pathetic %#$* sack decided I was the person whoshould receive this erroneous piece of religious propaganda while I was in the middle of my 5th jagerbomb that says, "Jesus only loves popular people withunlimited texts and/or those that pay tithes to Sprint".
 
You always have the option of NOT answering when you KNOW it's bubble gum talk.

When I get those "What's up?" texts, I don't answer them at all. I just look at them with the stoneface, and put my phone back down. If I geta follow up "What you doin?" text I don't answer that either. People will either a) leave you the ff alone, or b) get to the point, which is whatyou wanted anyway.

If I don't do bubble gum talk on the actual phone, why would I take more time out to type it? Tuh... the nerve of some people.

Texting allows you to ignore what you don't wanna talk about. I suggest that be what you do. People will get the picture.

No no no you dont get it. These people EXPECT you to carry on the conversation THEY started.

Its one thing to text mindless dribble, but if Im in school or doing some important, they insist that you type out long paragraphs worth of conversationmaterial.

Only for me to get a "So what else? Talk."

THAT is not ok. What happened to the good ol fashioned phone conversation?

Is it truly dead in our society today? Thats kind of sad if you ask me.

And, I mean 'goon' in the nicest way possible.
laugh.gif
Yes, we'repals though! *cue e-high five*


This thread is a clear indication of the growing diaspora between adults (over 21) and kids (LULZ) on here.
Whom are you referring to as a child exactly?

The so called "BUBBLE GUM TALK" doesn't bother me as long as I'm not busy. Seems like I get that when I'm djing when people wanna text and ask how the party is going and that's when I get pissed. If it ain't one phone it's the other or both.
In your case, however, your friends have an actual point to their texts (in this case it being them asking about the status of the party) wheremany a time I will get pointless nonsense.

I hate when someone aim's my phone. I don't know how they don't understand that I'm on my phone and sending multiple messages is just not thebusiness. I try and respond and here comes 5 more one word messages

I mean, it's as if people thing God's gonna read their application when they die. And in their minds... if Hedid, He'd skip right past the yes or no part of the application (where it asks if you committed any felonies sins) and get to the section right after the statement about the required drug screening and go, "So.....it says her that you've sent 3928057 chain messages on behalf of Me and Junior here".
