Are you a giver or a taker?

m83 · 11-01-2009 3:50am #1

Ok kids, I'd like to take a minute out of your meaningless lives and ask about your textual preferences.

The figures don't lie: 1107 texts in my inbox and 998 in my sent box. That means I'm a taker, and, a proud one at that. Mmm yes please matron.

So what are you;* a giver or a taker?

It's only gay if you're a taker.

0 in my inbox, 0 in sent. I delete a message as soon as I reply to it and as soon as my reply is delivered :pac:

I can't keep texts in my phone for very long but if my pm inbox is anything to go buy I'm a taker. I have 680 pms in my inbox and 483 in my outbox. In fairness quite a few of the inbox ones are arguing bans/infractions (some are quite abusive looking back on them!).

MJOR · 11-01-2009 10:07am

I'm a giver:D

11-01-2009 11:00am

delete messages once i've replied to them and sent messages only stores up to 130 msgs
so no idea

Trinity · 11-01-2009 11:07am

When someone texts me i normally reply so would be a fairly equal amount in in and out boxes.

So does having more in your inbox mean you dont reply to people?

Went back to work on friday after a long absence and there were 2421 unread emails in my inbox. Quite a large box it is too.

abi2007 · 11-01-2009 11:08am

I used the message counter on my phone.. should still count the messages sent and recieved even if they've been deleted.

Or OCD could be your get out clause

SoWatchaWant · 11-01-2009 11:26am

My phone doesn't say how much is in each, but I suspect I'm a taker. I'm a stingy man.

ah you're right thanks

ok sent messages 25001
received 24740

rec calls duration: 526 hours
dialled calls duration: 52 hours

i think i reset the call counter 1-2 years ago though

guess that makes me a taker?

S.I.R · 11-01-2009 12:17pm

i never text or receive texts...

free calls ftw.

the only texts i have are from meteor

Turd Ferguson · 11-01-2009 12:21pm

788 in my inbox and 937 in sent box. I'm very much a giver, although most of those sent ones are just non-sensical ramblings

Wexford Girl · 11-01-2009 12:39pm

Dunno i delete everything as soon as i reply but i think i'm a taker

Professey Chin · 11-01-2009 1:51pm

no counter on n95 but id say giver
Nobody likes to reply to me

antodeco · 11-01-2009 1:54pm

Right, had reset all my counters 1st Jan. So in the past 11 days:

Recieved: 3756
Sent: 3822
Data Sent: 195.6Mb
Recieved: 1.34Gb :eek:

I think I should see someone about that. Thats all in 11 days!

R0ot · 11-01-2009 3:34pm

42 Recieved, 34 Sent :pac:

MagicMarker · 11-01-2009 3:39pm

I haven't used a mobile phone in quite a while, and I haven't put credit in it for months so I can't send a text/make a call even if I wanted to.

I'd get rid of it only I use it as an alarm clock.

InkSlinger67 · 11-01-2009 3:56pm

I've just recently cleared down my counters but normally I would be a giver.

Mostly messages sent to the likes of Derek Mooney and Tubridy asking them to get off the airwaves - In a nice way of course!

Zwillinge · 11-01-2009 4:12pm

Since I got the phone, about 3 years ago:

Sent: 48013

Received: 38764

Now I don't feel very loved

No way. If you're taking, there's a chance you're getting raped, however if you're giving, you're always gonna be f*cking a guy in the ass which is totally gay.

banshee_bones · 11-01-2009 4:52pm

Recieved calls: 31:12:05

Dialled Calls: 29:45:02

inbox: 139
sent: 168

Ghost Train · 11-01-2009 5:04pm

Reminds me of this quote

"I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time. If someone wants to get a hold of me, they just say 'Mitch,' and I say 'what?' and turn my head slightly" (Mitch Hedberg)

To answer the question, i dont know. My message boxes get full up and i have to delete some.
