Textually Active: Learn How To Use your Phones, People

So I opened YouTube about 3 weeks ago, and the title of this one caught my eye. Then I watched it, and I thought “story of my life!”

I absolutely hate when I send a message to someone, using one or more of the social networks we all have such easy access to (albeit hesitant at times), and they don’t reply- but not because they didn’t get it.
If I can see that you’ve updated your status or sent out a new tweet or whatever, but you haven’t answered my question with as little as a “let me get back to you a little later”, I feel like that’s rude.

Stop misusing your communication tools, people. Answer your messages. The only valid excuses for not doing so, as far as I can see, are: low battery, when you’re far away from your charger; no airtime; severe illness that has you bed-ridden and quarantined; and having your phone stolen. Very few things in-between qualify.

While I won’t actually case your house and then jump you a few days later if I feel like you’ve ignored my messages, I won’t be very impressed either. Then I might start ignoring you, and see how you feel about that.
Yes, I’m using primary school mentality on this one.
