    100% the very last paragraph. Why do I have to wait for 78 messages to trickle through for one thought?

      To add to that, starting with “hi” and waiting for a reply is a great way to not get a reply from me.

      I get that, but counterpoint is that you don’t have to react and reply to each message IMMEDIATELY. The time stamps show that the messages all were within 3 minutes of the start. If this even happened at all.

      Maybe it’s because I’m old, but text messages don’t require an immediate reply. Take a breath and be patient.

        Even if I wait, I still have to listen to multiple notifications instead of just 1. Anyone who does this gets left on read for at least an hour from me (often times I just forget entirely).

        Patience is a skill that nobody sends to bother teaching their kids anymore. They just hand them a pacifier smart phone to shut them up.
