Does anyone else text someone else in your own home if they are in another room? Am I just too lazy to go talk to them? Are you like me?

    This kinda behavior irritates the hell outta me, but I’ve been told that’s unreasonable for larger homes, more sensible for smaller homes.

    I think if it would take you less than sixty seconds to walk to me and talk to me, you should just do it.

        Yeah but that’s so lazy. Have a modicum of respect to speak to me face to face. There’s so much lost in communication when you lose facial expressions and intonation.

        Plus, it’s not like it’s hard to just walk over, you’re not losing a great deal of time or energy.

          Little things like this matter. I would work from home doing something that needs my focus and get a sms that the courier is close. I need my focus to finish tasks fast so I will send a message to someone who should be more available.

          It is not lazy or lacking respect. Sometimes it is more efficient and confortable for anyone involved.

            Now that kinda behavior makes more sense to me. Context does matter a lot here. I used to get text messages from an upstairs roommate about wanting to go party with some friends or ordering food on the weekend.

            Like, sure, we can do this over text, but it will take you less than thirty seconds to walk to my door. Just do that. The whole conversation will be faster then
