Texting. Guhhggghhuuh. At first it was so amazing! Ok, strike that. At first I would get in trouble for texting one person a message like, "Omg! I am texting you!!" and then my mom would call me and say, "Michelle! I told you not to text me! It costs 15 cents every time you do it." But after a couple of years, almost every person had a texting package and I could text guilt free.
But now. Grrrrr. Now. I am so sick of people texting someone when we are having a conversation. What can be so important that they have to text them back right away? Unless the person texting them is saying, "I'm choking Plz come quickly to give me the Heimlich maneuver ." In which case they can reply with, "I'll be right there". Actually, they probably shouldn't reply. They should skip that part and actually be right there. Plus, most people I'm talking about aren't just interrupting the conversation with one text. They are actually having an entire other conversation with someone. It's so unbelievably rude. Please stop. Or should I say, "Plz stop."

I actually really agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how much texting pulls a person away from conversing with the people they are with until I lived without my phone for a while.
I like texts as much as the next person, but it's really not for full conversations.
The conversations I have had via text took forever compared to a spoken conversation.
Also, so much is lost when you don't have facial expressions or gestures. AND sarcasm, which is a huge part of my language, is a dangerous thing to try while texting and WILL cause a fight.
I just like talking to someone in person.
