Texts you HATE getting

CarolinaGirlinVA · July 2012

"lol" when I send something of a errr dirty nature.

Yeah...that's no good. Laughing? Seriously? Grrr... :grumble:

(can you tell I know about this first hand?)

BabyLeila23 · July 2012

Mom: "Call me when you get off work"

It's never good.

BabyLeila23 · July 2012

Give me a baby!

and no, I don't get that one from my wife, I randomly got them from one of my exes for 5 years every time she was single. I eventually turned into an *kitten*, told her all of the benefits of having a baby with a military guy, the housing allowance, extra money, access to base, blah blah blah. Then I told her 'but you're a cheating *kitten* and I'd never have any kind of relations with you again' and hung up.

hahahahahaha good for you

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.

Totally agree!!! I HATE texting... if I need to say something beyond a couple of quick messages (yes, I understand that sometimes texting is absolutely appropriate and necessary) - I would much rather TALK to you...

The text I always get from one of my sisters in May asking when we are going to pick our secret santas for CHRISTMAS.

OnionCookie · July 2012

Him: "Left a metal fork in the microwave." Next message: "It made mini lightning bolts." Then about thirty minutes later: "Bought you a new one."

I laughed so hard I couldn't be mad. Until it happened again that is.

myukniewicz · July 2012

1) "hi" -- thats it? really? that is all you have to say? why did you even text me.
2) "nm u" -- RAWR USE FULL WORDS!!
3) "k"
4) "?" -- when you don't answer some one right away, OMG drives me insane... i'll get back at you when I get back at you :mad:

JStarnes · July 2012

Texts using multiple letters to emphasize a word. That's what CAPS is for. And worse is when the letter that is multiplied doesn't even make sense to repeat -- "I'm so excitedddddddddddddd" or "omgggggggggg" :huh: how do you pronounce that? I'll take a "K" over the stupid multiple letters any day.

missiemandy · July 2012

'K'

saragato · July 2012

I hate getting "lol", "lmao" or any variant in a message by itself. It means nothing to me. My boyfriend's notorious for using lol just as a "there I said something" response.

When I first got a phone with texting capabilities I HATED when my best friend texted me. It wasn't the content, but she would have
two words
on every
single line
and then
hit send.
She did this often enough that I had to put my phone on vibrate when I wasn't in the house because I would get embarrassed when my phone made the text alert sound every 3 seconds. She did the same thing when we were on instant messenger, it was the way she typed.

I also hate booty call texts that get forwarded from my IM service because people often mistake the word "pencils" in my username as "pen*s" so I get a lot of *kitten* and teenage girls wanting to send me pictures of their lopsided boobs. I had one dimwit text me at 3 am, then 4, then 5, and finally at 6 am I told her to go ram a whole chicken where she wanted my supposed appendage and she thought it was funny and kept flirting with me until I called her an ugly tramp and she got offended, called me a *kitten*, then quit.

SherryGbaby · July 2012

I hate when I say something, and all i get back is "K"

It's so annoying!

Heaven71 · July 2012

"?"

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I call you for a minute?

Usually at the most inopportune moment and time but I am usually busy busy anyway.

Dawn3218 · July 2012

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.

^ This!!!! What I can't stand is when someone is texting back and forth and then I pick up the phone because this has now turned into a conversation that I don't feel like typing out and they DON"T ANSWER!! :explode:

You were obviously near your phone to be sending text messages at the very least pick up and say "I can't really talk right now I'll call you later"

Cause I am not having a whole long drawn out convo over text. Which for my generation means I don't get to conversate with people much anymore. :frown:

I personally hate long texts - anything longer than half a page of text is WAY TOO LONG!!! Pick up the phone and TALK to me dont send me a long text and expect a long response as I CANT BE AR**D!!

You'd hate me!

Mine is K also.
I don't mind lol/lmao but put it with the original text. Don't send a separate text.
For Pete's sake speak like a literate human. No text lingo or I'll cut ya

YES! I hate thissssssss :laugh: and when they double the last letter in like every other word: hi howw are youu --- what the heck is that supposed to mean?

beach_please · July 2012

"K."

Yeah this. My sister does this to me all the time. Also, any text that is preceded by "Hey, can you do me a favor?" or "Are you busy?"

CountryDevil · July 2012

The texts I don't get..... expecting a response and never getting it...

CarolinaGirlinVA · July 2012

"My wife checked my phone records . . . we can't talk anymore."

*sigh* yeah, that one sucks too

Worse? Said wife calls from his phone. **shudder**

Phoenix59 · July 2012

I hate the "call me" text. This usually comes from my husband and has me thinking "you have my number on speed dial. you could've just hit one button and gotten me on the phone." Of course, what's even more annoying is when I do as he requests, call him, then he doesn't answer! Aaarrrggghhhh!!!

The other is "Mom, can I ask you something?" This usually involves $$$. :ohwell:

ccburn5 · July 2012

"Can you stop for milk on your way home?"

I was going to put this as soon as I read the header!! I was only going to say the one I hate is "....can you stop for _____ on the way home, I've just been to busy to stop by the store today...."

garnetsms · July 2012

I hate when I say something, and all i get back is "K"

I think this one beats them all for the most hated text message

Jellyphant · July 2012

When someone calls you but doesn't want to leave a voicemail, so they hit the page option at the end of the call, so via text, you get this dumb blank text just saying the number. My mom does this all. the. time.

logicman69 · July 2012

"Can you stop for milk on your way home?"

THIS... I joke that this is my wife's version of a love note to me.

brewerchick · July 2012

When someone says "we need to talk" or "i've got bad news" and then you call or text back and don't hear from them for hours.......drives me INSANE!

call me for important *kitten* not text me

10acity · July 2012

****. I say "K" all the time.

So do I, but only as a way of confirming that I have indeed received the text to which I'm replying, and the sender and I are on the same page.
Ex:
"what time are you planning on coming over?"
"Six"
"K"
...as in, okay, I received that answer and will accordingly make sure I'm home by six, when you plan to be at my house.

I'd rather get 50 "K" messages than ever again receive a bunch of replies to someone's mass text from idiots I don't even know who clearly don't know how to use their smartphones that "Reply to All" by default.
