Texting 101
In a world where people can communicate with someone halfway across the world with just the push a button, and without ever opening their mouths, a whole new spectrum of unspoken social rules opens up. For instance, how many smiley faces or lol’s in one text is too many? Is deciding to stop texting someone without saying good-bye the new equivalent to hanging up on them? How much time should you spend on each given text? Is thinking about this stuff just being over-analytical? Probably, but I over-analyze everything anyway, so I’m going to do it. While I think that the texting rules are different for everyone, here are the things that bother me the most.
