Texting has fast become one of the most popular forms of communication. Those who are college age or below can barely recognize their friend's voices since texting is considered the most expedient way to contact each other. The texting sensation is now overtaking the middle aged cell phone users and the technology can be tedious, but it does have its benefits. However, as much as texting is beneficial, it’s also annoying when some people do it. Theoretically, we know texing is for everyone, but perhaps it shouldn’t be. As a public service I am posting the following restrictions from the Text Police to all texters:
Do Not Text If:
1- You cannot spell – Go back to school, get hooked on phonetics or read the dictionary, but whatever you do, just stop texting. Thank you.
2- You like to write books – Only one scroll per text messages is allowed. Keep in mind that if multiple scrolls are required, your long, dull message may go unread and unanswered. To share a lot of information, go old school and just call.
3- You don’t use correct abbreviations – Sure abbreviating is cool, but if you’re using wrong letters then you’re just embarrassing yourself. For instance “I don’t know” is idk not idn. Also, see number one.
4- Your fingers are too fat – A solution is to get a phone with a bigger keypad or just be more careful, but if that fails then you are required to miss out on all the texting fun. Your messages are largely gibberish because your "chubby nubbies" keep pressing the wrong buttons. (Same applies to long nails)
5- You use too much slang – Nobody knows what you’re talking about
6- Your messages are too short- Yes, messages should be short but when they’re too short they’re just plain rude.
7- You're a nonresponder - Hello???
8- You ignore phone calls – If you don’t answer your phone but answer the text sent immediately afterwards, you have just sent a clear message – “I don’t want to talk to you right now. You’ll just keep me on the phone and you don’t want anything anyway.” How much mileage do you think you can get with the "At work, can't talk." routine? That's the text equivalent of "Going through a tunnel, I might lose you" phone call ender.
9- You don’t answer the text question – That is very annoying. Just answer the question and leave out the chit-chat.
10- You like to “text argue”- Is it really worth it? There’s no way a text message can deliver the full effect of a person’s anger. Besides, you’re leaving evidence to be used against you in court.
This was just for fun but did I miss anything?
