Does this annoy you?

[HellNoHellYeah]

Do you ever send someone a text precisely because you don't have time, inclination etc to actually talk to them on the phone at that precise moment and then.....instead of texting you back, they PHONE you almost the very second they receive your text. I find this unbelievably annoying, I must say. Thanks for listening.

[woofmarkthedog]

I'll ring you in a second & let you know....

W**F

I usually turn the little bugger off just as I've sent it. Tends to annoy and alienate people though...ahh, telephone etiquette.

[Mick Mac]

i have a friend who does this and yes it is annoying.

[matthew123]

Wasn't there a study done on this exact topic that proved beyond doubt that the vast majority of offenders had fat fingers and hence found it easier using speed dial than typing a short essay by text..

[HonaloochieB]

Texting's crap so more power to theit fat fingers I say.

If the reason you're sending a text is because you can't / won't talk at the moment then say so in the text.

I phone people because I like them and I like to talk to people I like. If for whatever reason I can't / don't want to talk to them, I let them know so they don't think me rude.

Also, much like emails, it's usually a hell of a lot quicker actually just to talk to someone that it is to type out some dullard little message. Especially if it involves arrangements going back and tediously forth...

[daizie]

yes, but, dont you just hate all that ' hello, how are you' small talk. Text is short and sweet and to the point .. easier

[HellNoHellYeah]

If I want to speak to someone I will obviously call them rather than texting them.

[*Bob*]

What about people who text you, with a question that can't possibly be answered without straying into SMS2, thus leaving you considerably out of pocket, and mildly irritated?

They deserve a call. Right up the ass.

[bigbadwolf]

Not as annoying as people who send you voicemail that means you have to pay to open the message! Some people can be so inconsiderate.

[citizenED]

Do I find it annoying: HellNoHellYes

[Tony.London Suburbs]

No because I will start by saying NTTT i.e. No Time To Talk and once people know our code they do not ring.

What annoys me is the legion of Women I have known who flash or text me as they have no credit and want me to ring them straight back....

Woman did just that today and she is forever telling me how much money she has and she does not know what to do with it.

Spend it on some credit and stop taking the pizzicato...;-)

[woofmarkthedog]

You know some right bloody liars & schisters don't you TLS

Remind me what suburban utopia you live in exactly , so i can avoid it!

W**F

delightful company you keep. Ho's who not only don't qualify for a contract phone but also can't afford credit on their chavvy pay as you go jobbies. Klassy as feck.

[Huguenot]

I hate texting. Big fat fingers and an alcoholic's shake.

Don't send text if you don't want to talk to me.

Don't use technology if you're too skint to pay for it, knock on the door instead.

On that note, don't cultivate friendships in far away places if you don't have the bus fare.

You unzip your trousers and expose your penis, if you have one.

[TillieTrotter]

That was a serious question! I haven't got the right equipment unfortunately HNHY.

I like texting and use it all the time, better than having a conversation people can listen in to on the train.
