Ah I love texting, Even better when someone replies back as soon as u sent the text to em.. But the only thing I get annoyed at is the person who ain't replying to my text.
Man, I try to hang out with some of my friends but the problem is, they just won't stop texting. I can't even have a decent conversation with the person because they are always texting. Better yet, I find it rude when they text at the dinner table. Man, if my kid does that, I will disown him/her. Then again, by that time, texting will be a thing in the past. Anyhow, what are your thoughts on texting and do you find it annoying like I do?Hopkins_J
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING! I REALLY ****ING HATE THAT! I have a really good friend, and we used to be really cool, but I won't even go with him anymore because he won't put that F*ing phone down, and when my friends do that, especially if they do it nonstop and i'm there, I'll feel like they'd rather be with that person, I even just said "dude, what's with all the texting..." even some of them, they don't find it rude at all. My kids ain't having a texting plan, nuff said...
Seriously, if someone starts texting while I'm talking to them, I just leave. Obviously, I'm not that important.Vax45
I do that too, but when I explain my POV, they just throw at me "oh, so you're self-centered" :| I just stare at them blankly. For me, my friend invited me to the movies and then all he did was text, he even texted DURING the movie.

what's the point of watching a movie if you aren't watching it? :|
texting is pretty stupid in my oppinion because you should just call the personSerraph105
well texting is for quick chat about something. lik if i get a text saying theres a party tomorrow around 4 at such and such house r coming? i would text yes thats the end.
but i do think its messed up on people text so much.
I text quite abit. It's easier to have a private conversation with someone in a public place and it's quiet. I don't have to say "what?" everytime my service cuts out and I couldn't hear them. I can also talk to many people at once. I will agree that some people need to learn courtesy though. If we are talking don't pull your phone out.

If that doesn't call for the lol wut pear, I don't know what does. :? You are aware that simply waiting until you have a free minute is an option, yes?

I agree.
Why have a conversation composed of several text messages (which cost me good money) when you can just call and have it all said then and done.
They may be too busy to hold a phone and listen to you. Whats more it means you can talk to several people at once. Also here in Ireland, with Meteor as a provider, the texts are free, so I don't see why not.

why do that when you can text them now?
Because you're in the middle of something, of course.

something in which ahving a phone shoved in your face would interrupt but a slick little few button presses would go unnoticed. You really dont get it i dont get why so many people hate texting its like aim did people hate that alot when it first came around?

I can assure you, it does not go unnoticed... hence the hate.

its not a big deal as long as its just for a few and you dont have your phone up in your face the whole time, talking to people on the phone especially in crowded places is a bother ui cant hear them half the time and i have to repeat myself, a text takes less time and is less of a hassle, its perfect.
Yea...american school systems aren't usually like that and they really aren't that bad, there are a lot of intelligent kids but are held back because of kids who aren't ready for the grade they're in but the "No Child Left Behind" program is around...also the problem with not seperating the more intelligent kids from the slow learners etc. from important classes like math and science and so on. Also, on topic, you are obviously exaggerating...none of my friends do that and a lot of 'em text all the time.AlphaRail
Offtopic, thats your spriting in your sig? pretty good :o
Obsessive texting is definently one of my biggest pet-peeves.It's so damn annoying...it's gotten to the point where just seeing someone do it gives me a headache.

The topic isn't about texting in crowded places. It's about texting while you're in the middle of something, such as eating dinner or having a face-to-face conversation with someone else.
Don't worry, kids that always use their cell phone are 5xs more likely to get cancer. They could of known this if they watched the news but they're too busy texting.

Yeah I heard about that on the news.. I never text, I don't even own a cell phone. I think cell phones are a waste of money, and texting is a waste of time.
So many people these days text each other, even my sister does all the time and shes 25. I find it annoying and very stupid.
Experienced that once in a resturant when I was there with some friend and one of them had brought along some girl who was stuck to her cellphone like glue, I took her cell and threw it across the room, then asked" So...what will you have?" after trying to get her to order for ten minutes.
Never text during a meal, afterward is okay. Some texting during a converstation is legal, however if taken to an extreme, is downright rude and should be confronted.
