What To Do About.com: What To Do About YOUR DISLIKE OF TEXTING

  • fuhleeshuh · 1 year ago
    sometimes when I am in an area where I cannot talk, I text.

    However, when I text, I don't like abbreviations like IDK my BFF JILL.......i have a sidekick and a qwerty keyboard, so I type everything I need to say.........none of that short abbreviation shiz

    It's not that I don't have time or am bored or like to read... I only text because I get tired of talking to people... I don't like calling people. Texting makes one be brief.

    Now that I know this I will probably text you more. Just to see how things are going on a day to day basis.

    Well it's easy to do when you should be doing something else. (Like when you're in class and can't talk)
    If you don't like what you were about to say, you can just erase it.
    You can choose not to answer them.
    You can talk to a ton of people at once.
    There's evidence of something someone else said hahah.
    I dunno. I DESPISE it when people text and drive. Or text when they're on the phone. Or when it's affecting you're ability to carry out your responsibilities. Seriously, I think some people just don't understand when it's rude to text.
    I also hate how everyone just uses abbreviations. and letters and numbers for words. The terrible grammar kids are getting these days is horrific. I know. I'm a teenager. I wish I didn't text so much. But it is entertaining when you're really bored.


    Pretty much.


    Also absolutely drives me INSANE when people just answer the same thing to everything, like "Okay". Or "Yeah". And that's all they say, and then they send the same message over and over again till you reply.
    I obviously didn't reply the first time you sent it, so don't send it again.

    Maybe I'm just easily irritated, hahah.
