I'm curious if I'm the only one, which I am sure I am not, but do your friends and family expect you to respond to every text they send you and RIGHT AWAY? I turned my phone off for 1 hour this morning, 60 fucken minutes, I turn it back on and I have 16 text messages, 2 voice mails from my sister that I must be dead if my phone is off and 4 people I am explaining myself to, that my reason for not responding isn't because I am upset or mad or dead.

I don't get what people don't get…there are times when I cannot respond, I'm in court, I'm driving, I'm rollerblading, I'm in the water, I have no cell reception, I'm on a plane, I'm working, I just don't want to reply. Is this typical of people now? Are we all expected to respond upon receipt of texts? Do you respond immediately?



While I am at it, why is the "on rant" and "off rant" the same, why do the emoticons keep moving and why aren't they in alphabetical order????????

Disclosure: If I have offended or upset you, I am sorry. I am just very curious if this is the current expectation from and of everyone.
