It hit me about 3 days ago. Wednesday afternoon I'm sitting here, and I get a text message on my phone and it just hit me. Communicating through text messaging is entirely more popular than calling someone.

And I hate it.

What is the affection towards texting? I can see if you just want to say, 'Be there in 15 minutes.' or, 'Need a ride call me ASAP.' because that is a single thought and can be communicated more effectively via text.

But when I get messages like, 'Who's going to be there?' or, 'How do I get there?' it's fucking frustrating.

Do you really want me to type out a fucking guest list? Do you want me to spell out step by step instructions on the routes to take? I fucking suck at texting, and I try to avoid it as much as possible.

A simple 30 second conversation would avoid all of this useless finger work, and save me some angst.

Call, don't text. Please.
