If you know me, you know I am one of the worst texters in the world. Sometimes life gets in the way, and sometimes I just don't really feel like responding. But often times, I find myself in trouble with many of the people around me because of it. Here are seven things every bad texter can relate to.
1. "Did you get my text?"
Yes, I got your text. Sorry, I just suck at this.
2. Opening a text and not responding
Nine times out of ten I will open a text, mean to respond, then totally forget. I'm not ignoring you, I promise. Unless you made me mad, then yeah I'm ignoring you.
3. Being easier to reach on social media
For some reason, I'm much easier to reach on social media. If I'm not answering your text, hit me up on snapchat and I'll probably answer right away.
4. Getting yelled at by your friends on a daily basis
I get at least one text a day telling me how bad of a texter I am. Granted I don't get this text until a few hours later, but it's fine.
5. Short texting
Half of the times I'm sending a text, I never notice that I'm "short texting." My go to responses are "lmfao yeah" or "yeah I know." But apparently when someone sends you a novel, you are supposed to answer with more than one word. I mean, at least I actually am texting you back.
6. Not only getting yelled at by your friends, but also your parents
Bad texters do not discriminate. It's gotten me in trouble with my parents multiple times. It only makes sense that since I'm not answering I'm doing something awful, right?
7. Phone calls will be answered much faster than texts
"A phone call? Who in their right mind actually enjoys phone calls? It's 2017!" Well, actually, I do. And chances are, so does every other bad texter.
