How about I write a letter, take a picture of it, and text that to you instead?

I am not THAT old (40) and I have probably texted 10 times in my life.
If it is important enough for you to peck out on a phone, call and talk to me like a man. |

TL;DR
 You can't text on a house phone ( ain't nobody got no $100/mo for a cell phone )* don't tell me about the $50/mo cheapo's |

Listen, sonny: -I'm sitting here in a house I built myself, with these two hands. I designed it, wired it, plumbed it. -In my freezer sits an elk, big mature bull, that I bugled in and killed at 200 yds, offhand. -I have paddled a canoe from the Yukon into the Northwest Territories, then pulled that canoe over the Richardson Mountains and paddled down into Alaska. -I have climbed Denali. Twice. -I have raised a family. -I have crossed the Tibetan border, in both directions. -I have run marathons. From where I'm sitting, you look like a horse's ass, prattling on about your tech.

Why the fuck should I waste 45 minutes reading your texts and responding to them when we could handle it with a 2 minute phone call?

It's not a question of not following your instructions. It's all about fuck your instructions, I'll do what I want to do.
If you live long enough, which I surely doubt what with the way you run your dicksucker, you too might not give a shit about what some man child that still smells like pee pee has to say. |

It's funny that people who type things out on an internet forum have trouble texting. It's the same thing, lol. It boggles my mind that people use their phones for the internet in any way other than briefly. Oh and before you call me a luddite, fifteen years ago, I purchased a pistol off the Internet with my then start of the art Blackberry.

At any point during the day there are 4 people waiting to see me. If you leave a voicemail it will not be listened to and the greeting says as much. I can glance at a text and see "Please call me when you are able. Thanks."
And for the love of Christ say please and thank you regardless of the medium. Lastly, if you are an adult who consistently begins your emails with "Hey..." then fuck you. |

Because I think people who type back and forth for 30 min to say what could be communicated verbally in 5 min.....are retards.
Texting has it's place, but as a primary means of communicating technical or time sensitive info, not so much. Dynamic, back and forth conversations SUCK if the idiot on the other end wants it to be all text. Can't exactly multitask while constantly texting, at least if using your brain is involved. I can talk all day long handsfree and say "hold a sec", or just tune out the conversation when some critical task is at hand. Maybe if people require my assistance, they should be content with the format I wish to provide it in? What if I'm driving? Are you going to get pissy about how long it took me to text you back, when you won't answer the phone?

Texting while both hands are inches from high current AC/DC contacts? Yeah. I type this on a full size keyboard with a 32 in monitor, while relaxing. Yeah, it's the same thing. "lol". |

Why do you young fucks keep texting me about a job WHEN THE LISTING SAYS CALL FOR APPOINTMENT?!?!?
It’s because your generation thinks rules and norms don’t apply to them. “Hey tell me about the job” via text is no fucking way to get hired by me or anyone I know. |

If I post a sale ad that says IM or text only, then I expect IM. I won’t respond to email or phone calls. I’ve had quite a few pissy old people because they can’t comprehend that I don’t want to talk to them, nor am I desperate to sell. I’ll wait until I find someone that can follow directions.
