SMS-es
I really hate it when people don’t bother replying their SMS-es.
You know, short of having the urgent need to contact you, since calling might be a little intrusive or distracting, I'd thought I'll show some courtesy by dropping a non-urgent sms but nevertheless still important that requires a simple and short reply.
The least you could do; anyone could do, would to reply a simple acknowledgement sms. Like "thanks", or "no, sorry I can't", or "okay sure". Is that so difficult?
The infuriating thing is that, you are one of those text-maniacs who would flip open their phone every 10 minutes to check if they have a message. You keep checking for messages, yet not reply to mine? Despite my repeated sms-es, I get no reply.
Which can only mean one thing.
You choose to ignore my messages. I must say that the knowledge of this fact is rather irritating, considering the importance of the content of my messages.
I can understand if people don't pick up the phone, but not replying? When you blast off messages faster than speaking the same sentence vocally?
The simplest of courtesies would be to reply to a message when it requires attention. That's really the least you could do. Otherwise, what's the point of you having your expensive multi-function, music-jukebox, touch-screen handphone..
Not bothering displays a can't-be-bothered-attitude, which inevitably reflects on your poor character eventually.
