    Do you answer yer phone in the jacks?

    A house-mate of mine is guilty of that, she's glued to her phone all the time and will often go to the loo in the middle of talking to someone :eek:, can't understand it for the life of me. ugh.

    I hate that so much.

    It only takes a second to reply to someone.

    Are some people really that snooty or what possible reason could there be for it?

    I find it to be really impolite.
    Considering you posted this at 3.12am i would think the person is in bed asleep.

    it depends who is contacting me

    if its an email form family/friends, i'll reply when i read it, if i can, or otherwise as soon as i'm free

    if it's a PM from someone on boards who i dont know/dont like/dont want to engage with, i just ignore it, and presume they'll get the message

    i'm not on facebook, so no issue there

    calls or texts- depends who its from and how busy i am, but would always aim to reply asap

    I do this to people who only ever text me or email when they want something or want me do do something and have no problems about doing it.

    Surely if it's so rude not to answer a text, text conversations would never actually end seeing as either participant would to duty-bound to always asnwer the last text recieved?

    If someone doesn't usually reply to your texts or emails it means they don't like you.

    Take the hint! stop texting them!

    Leave them alone stalker!

    Not always. Some people like to have fucking conversations by text, and this pisses me off big time. Its often shit that can wait till the next time you see them too. Getting pissed off because someone doesn't reply to your text instantly is a bit silly tbh, there could be any reason for it.

    You'd love me. Theres only a couple of people I'd answer the phone to or text back. Anyone else would want to be either dying or have a limb hanging off for me to reply or answer the phone to. Don't even get me started about PM's.

    By far the worst people for not replying to my emails are those feckers at Vodafone "customer care:rolleyes:", ignorant useless bastards.

    That's a little bit obsessive, clingy and crazy tbh.

    What do you do after the third ignored message? Murder them and their family?

    Maybe they just don't like you any more and are hoping you will get the message? I think the opposite problem is worse, when someone you don't want to know anymore keeps texting/emailing/calling you time and time again like a crazy stalker, even when you haven't responded to them for months.

    I hate pointless texting. "Hey, how are you?", I mean, do people actually want to know because it seems to me it's just a way of starting a generally boring conversation! If I texted back anything other than, "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks" or "I'm good, you?", I think the other person would go into shock.

    So I don't reply to those kind of messages because it's like reading a bloody script. Next comes "What you up to?".

    Other than that, if I like the person, I'll reply. :) Sometimes I do read a PM though and think, "Ooh yeah, I'll reply to that later" and just forget.

    +1

    There's a person I know who texts me at least once a week, without fail. The first message is always "Hey, how's things?" I used to always try and drag conversation out of him, but he's just so utterly boring that I've started sending him equally mundane messages back. The conversation generally goes along the lines of

    Him: Hi, hows things?
    Me: Good, you?
    Him: Good, any news?
    Me: No, you?
    Him: Not much.

    Then I just stop writing back. And yet he STILL will text me again the following week for an almost identical conversation! I know I shouldn't write back at all, but I feel bad because I've known him years :o Sometimes I genuinely will forget to write back to the first message, and I'll get the exact same message approximately 24 hours later :mad::mad::mad: FACK OFF!!!

    Ever think that they might be busy and not have to time to be sitting around waiting for your message.

    It depends on who's sending them and who's in the piority /pecking order .

    I guess most of us get's the texts, emails and pm's that can wait

    Reasons not to text or email back immediately part one of many.
    Maybe they were driving at the time.
