Sexist Pig Mr bigonabianchi.
How very dare you.
Get hit by a lady with a frying pan indeed - how could one assume a ladys place is in the Kitchen.

Proposterous supposition young man.

Mine is in the bedroom !!

I had a 'friend' get very arsey with me because I didn't reply to a text instantly. I took over 30 minutes to reply and she never spoke to me again. She went as far as to rip up my workout card at the gym and then told her BF, who told me.

I often take ages to reply to a text, people can either like it or lump it. If they get stroppy I don't think that I want to know them anyway.

It is pretty scary to think that there are people texting when driving on motorways, mid-sex, in important meetings, during dental surgery etc. because being prepared to do so is the only way to be able to guarantee to reply in less than an hour. And what about when you can't get a signal?

Anybody who gets irate about a delay in communications clearly has anger management and narcissistic personality problems, not to mention a total lack of understanding about how other people live!

I am trying to remember who I know who went out once and did not take his phone with him. When he got back he found that he had received a rapidly escalating barrage of texts from a woman he had been seeing. She went from "Hey baby, wot u doin?" to "u fkin maggot. u think u can blank me? watch yr back U BASTARD!!!!!" in about 40 minutes ... Scary stuff!

I've had a friend for over 20 years that I exchanged a text with every week or so. I started to realise that she only every replied when I text her first, and if I didn't there'd be weeks of silence.
I've never bothered about when replies arrived, even when it stretched out to 2 or 3 days.
The last reply had 5 words in it. I don't feel a need to be in touch any more, and it's obvious she can't be bothered. Life moves on.
I'll send her a card next Christmas.

Me and my fiance made an agreement when we first met.
We both have demanding jobs so we're not going to be glued to phones. So don't bother texting if it's not necessary, apart from the odd smiley face; Never text anything that's better left for face to face; Don't worry about when replies arrive, it means one of us is busy; Never expect a text to mean anything serious.

This is very common!

the thing I hate is these new smartphones and facebook let people know you've seen and read their bleeding messages, so it's getting harder to lie

A guy I used to work with came to work one day, furious he'd lost all his text messages. I asked what the big deal was...he quite seriously told me it meant he couldnt check people were lying at a later date, he could look back?..and check
Some people are just too uptight...sheesh.

Moan, moan, moan. Sheesh, some people.

Earlier, on the radio news, I heard someone saying that the Environment Agency warnings about storm damage were a bit over the top. I guarantee that if that person had been flooded out after all, they'd be complaining that they weren't given enough warning. Some people really can't do anything but moan and be angry.

Simples...
Be like me and have no 'friends'

The good thing is BOAB that you obviously have a life and they haven't because they have to sit there waiting for your answer.

Cant you text them that lovely fire you posted a while back and subliminally get them to chill?

.

Although mine is never switched off it is almost always on silent, so it can be hours before I realise someone has contacted me and they get a reply.

Same with me, also, as I do a safety critical job, i cannot use the 'phone until I have stopped work and/or am in a place of safety. It can take up to 5 hours for me to reply to a call or message.

...not on here, I mean in my 'real' world....

So far I have had two people throw their toys out of their prams in my direction, simply for not responding to text messages instantly.

I had one lady I met three years ago in a group counselling session (and never since) suddenly out of the blue text me, start a 'conversation' then because I didnt reply to one text within 3 minutes decide that I was in her words 'dumping here' (W T F ??!!) and call be back with a stream of verbal abuse ....honestly, all I ever did was one role play in a group session three years ago!

I had another Lady I met in Cyprus, she was a singer, and a friend of a friend out there. We spoke for 20 minutes at the side of the swimming pool one day in a group of friends and thta was it, never spoke again, That was Feb last year. I get a message from her, I reply saying hi how are you....she get's a strop on because I took over an hour to reply!

I had/have zero interest in either of these ladies other than purely as aquaintences, and there was never anything more than above. What is it then???? The reactions are totally disproportionate to the 'crime' of my 'non instant' replies.

Prima dona me me me spoilt brat syndrome, thats what I put it down to. Where have all the real (sane) women gone?

Then there is of course the wicked witch of worthing upstairs, a truely unreal, demonic specimen of non feminity. Not only has she flooded my hallway from her overflowing cauldron, but has cast a spell on the decorator and roofer involved , who have exercised their option to retreat from her battlefield. If only I could.

I'm left wondering if the alcoholic excesses of the past few weeks have left such 'people' somewhat unhinged.

There is more but thats enough whinging for now.

Dear ladies of the forum, I in no way imply infer or otherwise mean in anyway that all(specifically forum ladies) are anything other than perfect, wonderful, decent and sane. As such any desire to verbally hit me with frying pans or other such implements is to be avoided. Thankyou.

Perhaps they decided to contact you again after reading your last post on here.
