I sent 7 texts yesterday to various close friends and so far have had 1 reply!
This happens all the time, i send a text asking a question and it takes people 3 days to get back to me!! I find it really hurtful and ignorant and rude.
These are mostly close friends and I just can't understand why they don't answer texts.
I have a couple of friends who I know are not very phone friendly, they never turn their phones on, leave them in a drawer etc and so I don't expect them to reply immediately. But the texts I sent yesterday are to friends who carry phones with them, put them on the table when we're in the pub, they use them all the time.
Sometimes they apologise and say 'sorry, was busy at work and forgot'...for 3 days???!!
When I get a text I reply straight away, it only takes 30seconds, even if it's just to say 'yeah ok x'
My husband says that I'm being oversensitive about it cos I have my phone with me every minute of the day and other people don't.
However, when my friends want me they always text and I always reply within minutes, why can't they extend the same courtesy to me?
