Texting

People texting drive me crazy. I just don't get it really, I guess I'm not into the whole thing.

It bothers me that instead of talking face to face, they are doing it through text, while a real conversation is much more meaningful.

What ever happened to real talking?

Talking things out heart to heart in real words with real meaning. I think that conversation is losing its importance nowadays, and conversation is a really important thing.

It also bothers me that people think that it is socially okay to do it anywhere and everywhere. I want to be able to eat dinner without someone in my family constantly moving their thumbs as they type out a message.

I want to go to the movie theaters and be able to enjoy a movie without a bright screen lighting up and distracting me!

People are so rude sometimes, and I just get so annoyed with it all. It’s hard to relax when there is a screen lighting up near your face.

People always expect me to be into the whole “texting” thing, but I’m just not into it. I think it is okay in certain situations, but for the most part it just drives me insane. T

he worst thing about it is that it is so incredibly common, and that I am the one who is weird or strange for not being into it. I don’t like texting, period. Why can’t people just talk on their phones with each other? I don’t know, I just don’t get it.
