Just as I'm vehemently opposed to "being tagged" on blogs and in email messages (not to be confused with being tagged on Facebook, which I love), I'm also not a fan of the Group Text Message. I always get them on holidays (basically a "Happy Thanksgiving" that someone sent to every person in their phone book) and never know how to respond. Are you obligated to return the text? Or is it acceptable to ignore it and erase immediately? I'm always disappointed to get the group text because text messages usually make me happy, but not these kind. They're just so impersonal. Of course, texting in general has gotten a wee bit ridiculous as of late, but that's a discussion for another day. What do you think of the group text message? Yay or nay?

Group Text Message? Not For Me

Nay, not really a big fan.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of group texting at all. But I am confused I thought you like being tagged in Facebook. YOu tag me.
ReplyDeletewhy don't you just get bitchy and yell at people for wasting your text messages, or is that just reserved for me?
