To know me is to know one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is "texting" and the entire cell phone thing in general!! I have gone periods of time where I have taken a "leave of absence" from the whole electronics part of my life and actually lived to tell about it. Nothing is MORE irritating than trying to have a conversation with someone and all you hear is a "BEEP BEEP" or a "VISS VISS" or even worse yet, NO eye contact due to the fact that their thumbs are too busy typing away something SUPER important like, "Ya, totally, her shirt was like way UGLY", ya, thanks for the heads up on that tid bit! Nothing says your not worth my time like a "text message". I'm just gonna put this out there...if you text ME and I don't respond this is what I'm saying to you...YOUR NOT WORTH MY TIME...call me, come over...MAKE AN EFFORT...have we really entered a time in our lives were talking is THAT bad? I can remember when all I did as a kid was stay up all night and TALK to my friends. Do people even KNOW how to do that know with out using symbols and texting sings? I for one will not allow my boys to text their friends. If they want to talk then they are more than welcome to CALL or GO OVER and TALK to them like a HUMAN. I will not raise savages.
Don't get me wrong, texting is great for quick last minute things like "where are you?", "what time is the game", "can you pick up some milk?" "the movie is at 7"...Not for things like, "my wedding is on March 12th, @ 9am Please RSVP" ummm NO!

Im so sorry that texting bugs you so much! (deep breath in, deep breath out)- I LOVE TEXTING!! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! And I think the opposite of you. I text people because I am thinking of them and have something to tell them :) not because they are not worth a phone call. If I tried to call (instead of text) everyone that I thought about, they would NEVER get a call. I just don't have that much time. I think texting is a quick & easy way to stay in touch with those you want to stay in touch with.
