I personally hate texting with a passion but I am forced to because it seems like the only form of communication these days.

Next time someone texts you "you there?", just reply "no".

To give you more ammo for your argument: while generally reliable and quick, text deliveries sometimes get delivered hours (and sometimes days) after being sent... so the absence of an immediate reply to such a question is actually rather meaningless.

This is for the absent minded parents. Dont fucking leave voice mails if you are gonna just turn around two seconds later to send a text synopsis of your pointless voice mail. Irritates the holy flying hell out of me. |

"yt?" saves me the hassle of typing out the whole point of my communication on my phone if you're not seeing it or not going to respond to it anyway. I expect a one letter response... "Y". What's so hard about that?

As in, instead of saying "hey" or "what's up" people say "where you at?" This silliness is amplified by the fact that the person is looking at you when they say it. People would call me on my home phone, land line and say "where you at?" .... my response would always be "you fucking called me at home, where do you think I'm at?" |

In the context you quoted it works either way. Even if the intention was to ask "why" you are not only acknowledging that you are there but also asking what the purpose of the first question might be. |

I don't understand why some old farts (or young people that are old farts in spirit) get their jimmies so rustled over texting. TExts are quick, efficient and can be concise. You're in the middle of something, you get a text, glance at it, and are free to finish whatever it is you were doing (or at least get to a stopping point) and send back a response in a matter of seconds. I get annoyed when my phone rings and I have to stop what I'm doing to engage in a conversation.
