To really not want people to end text messages with a xxx

[magicmelons]

AIBU, I find it really disrespectful when people send my husband work texts and emails with x or even xxx. It seems it's really common these days and I'm wondering if I am BU. I'm never going to do it and i certainly won't like it but interested to know others opinions.

[Flisspaps]

I think for many people it's just habit rather than anything meaningful.

[Flisspaps]

Although I only put xxx to DH, xx to other family and good friends and nothing for anyone else.

[squeakytoy]

I would add a x to a text if it was a friend, but not a colleague who I didnt have a "friends" relationship with.

[Bogeyface]

i dont like it either. Only my DH, my kids, my parents or very close friends get xxx.

[thelittlefriend]

kisses to work colleagues? that's just strange. Even work colleagues who are friends out of work.

[maddy68]

I always add xx's to my friends in a text I use it almost as punctuation. I have loads of male friends as well as female friends and they all get xx's at the end.

My OH and his ex wife used to put them on texts to each other

I work with teenagers and I have a work mobile that I text them on to let them know when they have appts etc.

Really shocks me how many of them put xxxxx's on esp when they have never met me!!

[CandiceMariePratt]

I do it x x x

[CatIsSleepy]

well it's a bit weird with work colleagues

but i do find i don't know how to end texts sometimes...i put an x by default really but then again i am usually texting friends

[MrsHerculePoirot]

I would only do it if friends and not a professional text or e-mail. Having said that I am a teacher and have once sent an e-mail to a load of students then ended it love c x without thinking which I was mortified about! Everyone else of course thought it was hilarious!

[YellowDinosaur]

I do this to friends and family. I don't do it to male friends unless I know them and their wives really well - well enough to know it won't cauise problems.

I have on occasion slipped up and done it to people I wouldn't normally without thinking which is a bit embarrassing!

I think to male colleagues and blokes you don't know well its a bit but I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it either tbh

[magicmelons]

My dh works with children his staff do it but predominantly it's the mums. I find it weird, I would never end a text to a colleague or any of dds s hoolfriends dads like that. One of the 20 ur old guys that works for dh and I were discussing it and he said it's because I am old ( 31) that I don'time it.

[magicmelons]

Ps it's the kids mums doing it that I find strange.

YABU xx

[ENormaSnob]

Friends text - fine

professional text/email - not fine

[PumpkinBones]

I do it with two of my colleagues because I am their manager and they are young and I want them to think I am cool

I do it with my family and some friends. One of my friends hates it. She gets extra. Xxxxxx

[moonbeam32]

i even do it on my facebook when i'm commenting to people

it even annoys me that i do it. I always end with a xx

pisses me right off and i am trying to stop

[AuraofDora]

work bit strange
xxx family, friends x thats it

pumpkinbones - it wont I dont think, you are their manager not their mate
I have shite manager, its shite but she doesnt x her emails, well not yet at least

[UrsulaBuffay]

I can't find the kiss button on my phone :(

[Wallace]

lol ursula

i give most people x x and dh and close friends x x x if they really deserve it.

But I would like to cut down by one x per text, it's hard though :( x x x

[abitlikemollflanders]

friends and family - usually

work/professional - never, really odd to me.

[Wallace]

Don't do work texts btw. and i do try not to x my 21yr old nephew!

[TitsalinaBumSquash]

I end texts with xxx, its a habit. DS's dr's and nurses end tests to me with xxx to which always amuses me.
