Text messaging makes people stupid.

I was on the tractor this morning. I wasn't really doing any work, I just like riding a tractor because that's how I roll. [none] While I was on the tractor my baby sister texted me "Can you change a flat tire for me?" I would have been more than happy to change a tire for her except for one problem, I couldn't hear the three short beeps of a text message over the sound of a running tractor. At about the same time she texted her daughter, niece/lesbian #1, to get her to ask me if I could change a flat tire for her. The only problem here is, her daughter was helping me and also couldn't hear the beeps of a text message over the sound of farm equipment. About three hours later I got another text from her saying "Thanks a lot." She also texted lesbian #1 saying the same thing, to which lesbian #1 muttered "What the fuck?" So I looked at my texts and saw the first one she sent. I then called my darling sister explaining we were both working at the time and it might help if she tried calling instead of just texting. She acted like that was the craziest thing she ever heard in her life. Who would use a phone to call somebody? Then after I hung up my niece texted her and said "Momma, you're insane." There was no reply so I said "She must be driving a tractor."

She's right though, nobody should ever call anyone because calling people is the worst.

Yeah... I prefer texting to calls. But in case of an emergency like that, I'd definitively call. But on general socialization, I simply don't want to hear your voice or face, so just text!

I don't want to hear your face either.

When my phone rings I usually just look at it with scornful suspicion. When someone then manages to leave me a voicemail I ask myself, what fuckery is this? I never check the messages though, partly because I don't know how, and partly because fuck that shit.
