Answering a non-question text
My phone is always beeping. Some of them signal phone calls that I ignore, and others are messages and texts. There's a moment when several beeps garner my attention (i.e. a long text from someone who thinks everyone has an iPhone and writes long messages) so I look at the display to see who's trying to reach me. There's a specific one that catches my attention.
"??"
What the hell is that suppposed to mean? It's the equivalent of someone going "Anddd..." while gesticulating their hand/wrist in a circular motion, goading you for an answer. There's no answer to be had if there was no question asked.
I wait for a few hours and then write back. "Hey. Something specific you're asking?"
Immediately, I get a response. "No nothing specific however..."
The phone beeps, again.
"There was no reply to my monologue... Although there was no question asked in it i thougtht i wud receive some sort of reply. I now know u received it :-)"
What? So, someone texts me and waits for me to reply to a non-question then texts me again to make sure I got their original non-question, especially when the jist of the previous message was to tell me they can't see me because they're too busy doing other things/people.
I promptly delete the texts. Fucking idiot.

I hate texting. I mean, it's good for short quick bursts of important information, etc. or perhaps even a funny drunk text here and there. But yeah, otherwise, the whole medium kinda annoys me. Maybe it's not the medium actually, but the people who use it.
