Wednesday Worsts….Group Texts

[AlexDaGator]

Good to know, thanks. Definitely NOT something that I want to do with my sister... ;)

Alex.

I cannot stand the simpletons that respond to everything with thumbs up, ok, thx, etc. One fuching informational text turns into 10-15.
I’ve started giving every one of those responses a thumbs up the next day at 4:30-5:00am when I get up.

 

[Nalt]

You are from Alabama though, right?

Well, yeah. But, true story here, folks from Alabama only sleep with their sister in Lee county. The rest of the state draws the line with cousins... ;)

Regarding the OP, I prefer the group texts over email messages sent to large groups. I get emails from the government about something pretty stupid that doesn't even need a response from anyone. But NO! There will usually be a large number of recipients who have to "reply all" with meaningless responses...

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

Every group text I'm invited to goes to mute instantly. I also text inappropriate memes at 2am just to remind everyone not to invite me to the next one.

I never post/send texts after 2 am...

How considerate.

I freaking hate group texts. I routinely will very blunty reply all saying I want to be removed and please don't bother me further. Bunch of freaking chatty Kathy's and btchy Karen's. And texts will come in at the most annoying or inconvenient times. We have a neighbor who will group text a bunch of us at 5am on a weekday. I'm like listen bitch, even if I was awake at 5am, it wouldn't be bc I want to talk to your dumb ass!

Group texts rank right up there with violent criminals, pedophiles and electric scooters on my list of things I hate.

I get violent criminals and pedophiles - along with pretty much everyone who’s not one of those - but as annoying as electric scooters are, and they are very annoying, I’m not sure they quite rise to that level.

Some ******* always seems to create a new group when I'm in the middle of an activity where I can't access my phone and my watch will blow up with 100 replies before I can shut it down.

Yes. How do they seem to know the precise moment I go into a meeting and just light up my phone repeatedly? And about half of it is just follow up texts addressing the one autocorrected word from their previous text that was easily understood given the context.

“I was so tried I went to bed at 8…”

“Tired”

“Lol. Apple autocorrect”

You clearly live in the suburbs

Just to clarify, are we talking about the electric scooters you see around campus? I’ve ridden them with my kids after games and they are a blast.

Yes…. Ask @BNAG8R about them, he’s our resident “Evil Scooter Knieval”

 

[Bushmaster]

I hate to tell you all this but a message board *cough gatorchatter cough* is really a big group text with people texting random **** all day. Its just organized better.

Yep. Those abominations.

If you live in a downtown area you can barely walk 10 feet without tripping over one that someone left in the middle of the sidewalk.

Really though it's the people that ride them. Every fat slob that can't walk more than a city block without taking a rest on a park bench can now spend the whole day zipping down sidewalks aimlessly and out of control, barreling through pedestrians and randomly popping out into traffic.

Some even crash... twice... in two different cities!

Ok, yeah that makes sense. I see them mostly used around campus, but can imagine them being a serious problem in a city. And yes you described the riders perfectly. The only positive of the scenario you described would be seeing them crash. Have to think that would be great.

I think it's comes right before the boob conditioning

And there will never be boob shampoo and conditioner all in one.
