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....!?

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.

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
