I Don't Text Message

[adpiucf]

I must be the only person on the planet who thinks texting is stupid. Yet lately the guys I go out with prefer to send me texts than to call. I, personally, think that is stupid. If you want to talk to me, call me. It's pretty direct and straightforward. If you want to share an interesting story, email or call. It's pretty simple. I make it clear with these people that I'm not into texting. I spend all day in front of a computer and when I get home/go out, I don't want to stare at my phone trying to decipher stupid messages like "U R Gr8!"

Phones=talking. Email=text messages.

Discuss. I am beginning to have visions of myself yelling at kids to get off my lawn. And I don't have a lawn. Am I just old before my time or are there other people who are anti-texting? The only time I find it useful is if I'm meeting someone in a loud place and I can't hear my phone.
