People who send five messages when one will do.

[MrsKingfisher]

I get this a lot from work colleagues, I know that need something but instead of 1 message I get 5, the 5th finally getting to the point.

Why can't people just write 1 message with all the info you need and send it?

I have ADHD, so that's why.

I get it

Missed out a they

I do this a lot, only to friends/family though. It would annoy me if I was busy at work, you don’t need to text a whole conversation if there’s a specific thing they’re messaging you for

Exactly this, just a simple 'Hi, could you look for/find/bring xyz thanks'

Instead they go around the houses, probably because they know that what they're asking me to do is actually their job not mine!

I do this, and i hate it.

I’m almost certain that I, too, have ADHD (not diagnosed).

I have some sympathy with the OPs view. I expect those with ADHD are not those annoying the OP.

Oh wait I actually don’t do what the OP said at all! I should have paid more attention...

I add points into a conversation as I think of them, rather than getting them all into one msg/email.

I do this, I don't know why! I think its just I type as I think and send it as it comes.

I only tend to send one message if its a more thought out message and needs to go into a lot of detail, then I go back and read it. The others are not much thought about messages and just sent as I think them. Bit like talking, just send as it comes to my head. I know its annoying but I don't know why I do it! A lot of my friends are similar ahaha sorry OP!!

I get cross when someone starts messaging and it turns into a stream of consciousness. They want something and I feel I should reply but can’t work out when it is sensible to do so.

I also hate long, rambling messages where someone clearly wants something but I have to read three times to work out what it is.

Well they’re not 10p each any more are they?

Yes the stream of consciousness, just get on with it, if you need something think about what you need then just ask. My phone is forever on silent due to the constant bing! Bing!
Hi
Hope you're well
I know it's late
Sorry about that
Thought you'd be the best person to ask
I have a favour to ask
Do you know where I'd find x?

That's what I had at 9.30pm last night. I do try and intercept at times with 'Hi, what do you need' and a big smiley face.

I have ADHD and ASD and I do this, I wish I didn't! I try so hard not to! I'm not even sure why I do.

oh god

I do this

i dont do it loads

but i do it a fair bit

do you all want to scream at me?!

Just had 12 pinging messages from my daughter!! One sentence at a time...do it in one message!!

I do this, as do most people I know..I have one friend who writes paragraphs of messages.. I find them hard to read quickly and often don't reply as quickly to paragraph message vs those short burst messages.

I dont mind them. I can scan short sentences quickly and cut the crap to what is the point of the conversation.

It's not something that bothers me at all. Pregaps because I'm also guilty of it too?

I do several texts if it's a long message so there is no charge (free texts up to a certain character length). I'm sure I annoy friends when I do this.

Are we talking work chat or sms?

If work I hate it when somebody asks how are you , just get to the point and tell me what you want doing lol even more annoying I do it myself

This is WhatsApp for work related stuff most of my friends just send a text and I'll reply to that not 5 or 6 in a row talking shite.
