My older brother likes to text (he's in his 70s) and my older cousin texts using dictation or a stylus/smart phone. Us folks with a flip phone prefer voice or better still, E-mail.

I hate it when people who don’t text insist on playing phone tag back and forth for a day and a half when a quick text would’ve communicated the brief message needed.

Why would anyone want what could have been a one minute conversation, when they could turn it into typing one line at a time back and forth for 15 fucking minutes.

I've come to realize it's less about old don't text while young people do; it's more about people who are comfortable/confident writers who text while the unconfident don't text.
Whether 52 is old to the OP: I think it's rude as hell to call someone to ask a question that has a short answer and especially rude to call when the caller doesn't need an immediate answer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I hate taking calls. If you have something important to say, write a concise text or email that I can read in 10-20 seconds instead of your rambling vm or phone call. Every fucking old person I encounter is an obviously lonely gasbag who wants to ear rape you for an hour with the same story they told you last week about some lame shit that happened when they were in high school 50 years ago. I just want the information, not your fucking life's story.

Not old, but I leave voicemails on customers phones from my desk phone even if their vm message requests a text. I don't have a text option from my landline phone at work and I don't want my customers knowing my personal phone number.

The damn phone can’t understand my east Kentucky hillbilly accent, so I have to manually correct half the message, or I have to take time to figure out what pronunciation the phone will understand, then slowly enunciate. And when you're drunk don't worry about correcting it, the people on the receiving end will understand enough of it to figure it out. |
