For about 2 weeks. I am getting cryptic & incomplete messages.
(emails, texts, messaging)

Why don't they just get to the point? And say what they want to say. Ask, what they want to ask.

Why do some people message as if it is a phone conversation or a real life conversation?

Such a waste of time. And so damn irritating. I don't want to spend 10min to 2hrs figuring it out & asking questions, just figure out why they are messaging, or what they need or want, or if it is just chit chat.

I am at the point of either ignoring the messages or responding back in, 1 to 4 words like they do. Kind of like... a taste of their own medicine.
But...then they keep going & going.... Or they get ticked off, because, they don't realize they they doing it.

Did IQ's just drop sharply?
Is it the moon?

Obviously, I am running out of patience. frustrated

Does this annoy anyone else?
Anyone else have any message rants?

I meant in general, not just this site & in real life.
Some people are texting as if they are on the phone talking.
A few words at a time, & then waiting for a reply. It is NOT a message, it maybe 4 words & I am suppose to read their mind or guess, WTH they are talking about.
I know, in texting, & messaging, things get lost in the translation & we cannot see facial expressions, body language or emotions... But it seems to really be getting ridiculous.


* It now officially, one of my pet peeves * grumble

I don't text all that often, and usually its just to my kids... but when I DO text, I type like I am talking... I don't use acronymns and shortcuts, I type every fricking word I am thinking..... some of my texts to them go on and back and forth, so much so that they will call me, as they probably get sick of typing back to me.. LOL
I have had the emails in this site, where the response is a half sentence, or 4 or 5 words strung together as a response.. and these ones seem to be from scammers - say a 14 year old, pretending to be 58.. just my opinion..
If ya get a one word answer, give one back, keep it going.. just sayin
