Text Rage

Do any texts give you the rage?

I have always hated my name being used in texts!

But now it's the reply of 'right ok'

AIBU?? Do you have any texts that set you on fire....!?

ChiefAdjusterOfRubensShorts · 24/03/2023 21:07

You’re lucky getting “right ok”

I just get “k” from DS!

When people say "fair enough" because I interpret as them saying that doesn't sound fair, I don't know why

Bettyboop3 · 24/03/2023 22:22

When i send DH a long & detailed message & get either kk or an emoji in response 😡

TomHanksIsFuckingAmazing · 24/03/2023 22:27

The thumbs up emoji. I hate it. It's literally saying "I don't care"

Thepeopleversuswork · 24/03/2023 22:28

I am irritated by over formal texts. They seem really jarring and ill judged to me. I know a lot of people hate emojis but I hate it much more when someone I know fairly well sends a text that’s formatted like a letter:

“Dear thepeople, thanks for your text…” etc etc.

I feel like there’s enough professional repressive behaviour in my life as it is without people having to treat a text message like it’s a formal document.

I think that’s fair enough.

bonkersconkers101 · 24/03/2023 22:34

I get wound up by "wall of text" messages that have no grammar or bad spelling to the point where it's totally indecipherable. Oh, and I hate it when people send 10 texts one after the other so my phone pings and pings, when it could've been a single text.

Grrr.

DimplesToadfoot · 24/03/2023 22:34

I hate the Thumbs up Emoji too, it's an instant conversation killer for me, I'll never respond to it.

LilacRain12 · 24/03/2023 22:37

Also hate the thumbs up emoji.
Someone saying 'Heya' instead of just Hi or Hello.
Being called 'Chick'.

OutofControl3 · 24/03/2023 22:40

I hate hun in a text

Pleasepleasenomorecocomelon · 24/03/2023 22:41

I also hate when people use my name in texts, as it's usually school Mums and I feel the need to reply with their name. I never know their name or if I do I get the fear that it's not their name 🤦🏼‍♀️

CatchYouOnTheFlippetyFlop · 24/03/2023 22:41

If I've annoyed my husband in some way, he always answers 'righto' and doesn't put a kiss at the end. It makes me roll my eyes so hard.

OutDamnedSpot · 24/03/2023 22:47

Voice notes instead of texts. It just says ‘my time is more important than yours’

LilacRain12 · 24/03/2023 22:57

When someone just writes

Thanks.

I'm the same.

My daughter has a really annoying habit of relying with “wow” when I say something.

A really sarcastic “wow”.

It gives me the red mist.

SeekChase · 24/03/2023 23:36

I hate being texted "heard from anyone?" constantly, every single day.

SeekChase · 24/03/2023 23:36

LilacRain12 · 24/03/2023 22:57

When someone just writes

Thanks.

Or I get "ty" (thank you)

pinkpotatoez · 24/03/2023 23:40

People who feel the need to put a kiss after every text. If we're having a back and forth conversation it's so unnecessary, why is this the norm ? We don't hug/kiss after every sentence in person so why on text
