Two of my oldest friends are here visiting from Florida. They kind of annoy me because they don’t have iPhones, but I’m surviving. I didn’t know they didn’t have iPhones and couldn’t understand why they didn’t reply to my group texts.
I hate not getting responses to my important questions. Like this:
Seriously. I hate having to text that kind of stuff twice.
Now they’re here, so I don’t have to worry about texting them. I just close my eyes when they pull out those crappy Droid things. Otherwise we’ve had a good time exploring Alaska and making fun of each other. Robyn has been texting her parents, Cheryl and Tom, giving them the play-by-play of our adventures.
I’m not the only one who gets annoyed with Robyn’s texting.
On the way back from Girdwood today Robyn’s Dad called her and said, “Hello? Can you stop texting your mom so quickly? She hasn’t had time to respond yet.”
Robyn said, “But, they’re different thoughts.”
He replied, “Well, condense them into one text and then wait for her to respond. Thanks, goodbye.”
Old people are funny.
Ya know…not every person likes iPhones. Some people don’t like the virtual keyboard or they have issues with addiction to games and stuff. Well…so I’ve heard. ;P
I get that, I just want to be able to group text. Droid should fix that.
Everyone should just get an iPhone already. They know life will get better…
Seriously. The iPhone made mine better.
We all have iPhones but it doesn’t stop my mom from being the worst texter in the continental United States of America and Alaska.
My parents are bad texters too. If you have an iPhone you can write out whole words instead of saying R U? Right?
my wife and teenage daughter have iPhones. I have a droid. They text more than call. I feel the same as your old people. Then again, I turn 42 in a week.
where’s my geritol?
42? Geez, I didn’t realize you were so old. I’ll probably have to unfriend you now…
I’d rather get a million little thoughts from a speed text than a run on sentence and on a completely different note how considerate of you to ask sluts what kind of wine they drink. Does boxed Cabernet really taste any different from a boxed Merlot?
Not to sluts.
Bwahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahaha! Bridget. You seriously kill me. We’re having a wine and coffee get together at my place this Saturday in Laredo, TX on the Mex border….about 20 kids will be destroying my play room while we get drunk and caffeinated. Sure wish you lived closer. This slut drinks shiraz or pinot noir.
So does this slut!! I wish I lived closer too.
tex mes should be held to one per hr !!!!!!!! / in my day the good old days we had a party line and wall crank phone to get to the o for a connection ! / we got along just fine / i do not need to know all a persons bodly functions !!!!!! / i have a hard enough time keeping track of my own !!!!!!!!!!!!!! / you may just want to get a real phone ! / apple is going by the way side !!!!!!!!!!!!! ///
From now on I’ll only text you once per hour!
Love that your daddy reads your blog
))
Me too
Ha! I’m all iPhone. I hope you succeeded in guessing what kind of wine to buy for your slutty friends
They don’t care, they’re sluts.
hang on a sec, if you don’t have an iPhone you can’t do group texts? Maybe I don’t know anyone who doesn’t own an iPhone…
on a completely related note: my husband’s cousin does that and when I start hearing the incessant pinging of my phone with one sentence message after one sentence message that go on for half an hour my pavlovian response is to mentally stab him repeatedly with a long and very sharp knife. So yeah, I agree with your friends’ dad, one long message is best.
No, he wants short texts. With a five minute break in between for them to respond. So you agree with me:)
I always agree with you!
but not in a mindless way, of course…
Silly girl. Everyone knows sluts drink tequila.
So I’ve been told.
Man, I really screwed the pooch on that one.
Slutty friends drink shiraz. I love that when my dad called he did not ask about the trip. Maybe I will get him a texting plan for christmas so I can be equally annoying to my parents.
So far you sluts have mostly drank beer.
I still don’t know how people can survive without iPhones.
Oh my goodness this is a can of worms for me! I have the iPhone but hubs has a droid. So frustrating!
