ps - True story. About 7-8 years ago I used to have texting blocked on my phone because I thought the concept of texting was so dumb :142smilie
Does this annoy you as much as it does me?

I had two tin cans with a string running between them.
We also had phones with cords running into walls that you couldn't take with you....:mj07:

Only time I'm bothered about a text not being immediately replied to is when it's work related.

I put my phone on vibrate and leave it in the kitchen when I get home from work so I am guilty of this. Sorry not sorry.

My my how times have changed huh? Same here!
I have a phone so I have that option. But I'm terrible with responding to calls and texts.
We aren't supposed to have our phones out at work. I keep mine under the counter on vibrate but sometimes it may be 2 to 3 hours if I get to look at it. Especially if I'm mixing paint (which requires a lot of concentration/no distractions) or doing cycle counts etc. I may not be at the counter at all some days

I talk to my wife, parents and daughter on the phone, along with texting them as well
The rest I text, I've been in a text group with 6 other friends for the last 4 years, lol...not a day goes by without hearing from them individually or on text thread
Hate texting first .
It always gives the power to the person receiving the text . They can respond right away or take hours .
It's worse texting a woman.
You may ask them an important question and they take hours to reply just to make you sweat.
Women are evil texters
I hate when they put the phone on the table on a date and text while your with them.
I don't put up with that shit. Put the phone away or see ya
Back to your intial pet peeve . I keep score . If a person takes a day to respond. The next time they text me , I take two days .

With texting, a new definition of power is created. Throughout history and politics, power has been defined as the ability to influence or direct the behavior of others. Now, power is defined as someone waiting on you for a text message response.
There?s always a palpable power struggle during a texting conversation. Every time you send a text message, there is always a possibility that you will be ignored.
No matter how important you think your text is, the receivers can just put their phones in their pockets and disregard your existence. This kind of thing can?t happen in real life. Someone can?t ignore you when you?re face-to-face.
So, because we (unfortunately) live in a world in which vulnerability is weakness and a lack of power, sending a text means you just lost a little bit of power. Whoever receives your text has your vulnerability in his or her hands and therefore has the power.
The more time that passes without a response, the more power the receiver has. It?s just the science of texting.
What?s worse is that you won?t even realize you?re being ignored until hours later when you still haven't received a answer. Your anxiety will have just been building upon itself for hours until it crumbles into a feeling of abandonment and shame. You?ll be on edge until you get ? or don?t get
