    Text conversation from last weekend that made me want to smash my phone:

    Boyfriend - What time are you getting off work today?
    Me - 4:30
    Boyfriend - K

    AGHH!!! I assume that my simple answer to your question was received and understood. It is completely unnecessary to text me back a confirmation that you received it and understood it!!! If you had something more to add like can you get off half hour earlier or we should meet up for a drink, then add it! I don't need a text back saying "K"!!!! Drives me absolutely crazy

    When people want to have a full length conversation by text...yea no thanks!
    To me, K and yup and sup and lol nice and cya are perfectly acceptable.
    I don't have time to fat finger my response back about how I'm doing, what's been up, how was the 4th, where ya going, what are you doing, hows work....etc. Short and sweet responses back from me most of the time.

    "Lol" When you have said something requiring a conversation back.
    This! It really burns me up when I tell my best friend a HILARIOUS story via text and that's her only response! It makes me feel like I wasted my time!

    "You need to call the school" (almost always a bad sign)

    "I need you to stop by the store on the way home" (no list included...once I just drove to the store, came to a complete stop, drove home)

    "When are you getting paid again?"

    "What's you social?" (this is the text I get when my wife is applying to yet another credit card)

    "K"

    "I'm jealous you can get Chik Fil A on Sundays!"

    this is getting old for me...


    Ok this isn't a text but how the heck do you manage that!?? I can't tell you how many times I've driven to chik fila and actually pulled into the parking lot and then realize why it's empty. I blame it on the dazed mom of three syndrome.

    I got one from my wife 2 years ago, something like this:

    Wife: Umm..hon we need to talk
    Me: Yeah?
    Wife: Megz is pregnant
    Me: Ohh...Great
    Wife: She might need a test from you....


    For clarity.....I had sex with my wife's friend Meg one drunken night.....

    No , I wasn't the father....
    Does your wife refer to herself in 3rd person or something? If not.....eh....huh? I don't get it.

    ^--- Exactly.

    It's such a pet peave!

    OR!!!

    When somebody only texts "hey" and doesn't say anything afterwards.
  • "hey"

    WHAT DO YOU WANT? If you're interested in what I'm doing, why not just ask, "what are you doing?" or "what's up?" If you want to talk to me so badly, don't make ME start up a conversation when you're the one who texted me first.

    Or anything in "text speak" like "R U OK?" or "WHR R U?" "OMG! RLY?"

    It's 2012 folks. Most carriers allow 120 - 160 characters in a text message. Spend the extra characters and give me a real answer.


    Oh my god I hate that too! The English Major in me refuses to write anything like those


    Oh me too! The fact that you're writing a text message is no excuse for bad grammar or punctuation. My friends call me the grammar nazi. I don't care, if you're going to type something do it properly.

    And don't answer my texts with the letter "k". I'm sure it doesn't take that much longer to type Yes, No or Maybe. Holy crap!

    Well, that's my rant for today. Thank you for visiting the funny farm.

    "We need to talk"

    Detest that one, because it always gets sent and then I have to wait hours before talking to the person, usually to find out it wasn't that big of an issue. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    "Call me." Then the call is something stupid that could have just been said in a text.

    Any time I get a text message from my boss on my days off.
    When my 17 year old son responds with "okayyyyyy".
    When my husband sends a ":-(" if I don't respond right away at times. Sometimes I'm busy, or I'm working or I'm driving....ugh.
    The lovely spam texts...don't get them all the time, but for a few weeks, it was daily.

    What I find funny..my 63 year old mom texts and she uses text speak...which cracks me up every time. I tend to spell everything out, as does my husband. That my mom learned to text from my much younger sister is very obvious...heh.

    "K"
    "Your entry last month won! Text back this number and get your FREE $100 walmart (or other big name store) gift card!" -CLEARLY I did NOT enter into ANYTHING, so I text back stop which stops these for about a month... I get them once a month it seems... so annoying.
    Any text I get while I'm driving I hate, especially if it's a long road trip or something, because I'll either forget about it until we get where we are going or it's usually something very unimportant like the one above.

    Ok..so let me get this straight. Everyone is complaining about getting the letter "K" replied to them after some say very lengthy text messages.

    I would say "K" to the book someone texts me and then I would reply, can you pick up the D*@MN phone if you have so much to say to me. That is what I HATE. Texts where people write BOOKS . I don't want to have to type back a complete conversation.

    Texting is for short simple questions, statements and replies. Examples: I will be there soon, I am on my way, Can you grab milk on the way home, Stuck in traffic be there in a few, I love you and I was thinking of you. Call me when you can talk.

    There are many reasons for texting but BOOK WRITING and LENGTHY Conversations is not one of them.

    Well...I went off on a little rant didn't I. Can you tell I answer "K" quite often.

    I'm the opposite. I hate talking on the phone. If it's something important, yes, call me.

    "Yes dear" from the husband annoys the **** out of me.

    Perhaps you would prefer "Do it yourself, and when you're done with that make me a sammich!!" :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Barefoot and in the kitchen is my dream! Maybe he'd like a pie also?!

    :bigsmile: You're good at this..

    Yes dear!

    "We need to talk"
    Or
    "I'll talk to you when I get home"
    Followed by : "How long till you get home?" "Hello?" "How long till you get home?" "Are you going to answer me?"
    "Oh sorry left my phone in the car"
