I have wireless internet, and no one uses my laptop but me. So, I pretty much leave my AIM on all the time. Right now, it says I have been signed on for 4 days 20 hours and 4 minutes. It is a bit addicting. It's just a convenient way for people to leave me messages when I am not around.\n\nI am kinda addicted to text messaging as well. I am just basically a loser.

It will turn into something more than just a text thing. Been there, done that.

You mean like men do all the time-they are yappin into their cell phones, lying about all the girls they "supposedly" laid that weekend.  \nYou're so full of crap!  \n\nDo you have anything else contructive to say?

I have a friend like that and it is truly draining.  What I do when we talk on the phone is "unhunh" automatically while doing something else with an occassional "really!".  When I need to talk , I tell her to "shut up it's about me today, we'll get to you later".   This has been going on for years and it seems to work for me.

It's sheer laziness for some.  So many people use email and IM clients that they revert to "chatspeak" whenever they are in front of the computer monitor.  The rest, I suspect, are barely literate.

Probably 90% of the people that own cell phones don't need them or could get by without them. Now that's really weird!

Probably.  Some people just get shy when they talk on the phone.  It's nothing to worry about.

Absolutely not true. The amount of time people spend on the phone is more related to naturally occurring behavioral conditioning. That is, the more you do it the better you become at it. While there are stereotypically different communication styles between men and women (aka what Men are from Mars ... tries to describe), these stereotypes don't really hold up well when explored scientifically.

Yeah, I have some fake friends.  I don't really hang out with them, but will talk on the phone if they want to.  I get along with most people, but if I don't like someone, I tend not to make an effort to spend time with them.  Life is too short to put up other people's crap!

Models just keep on comming. Back-to-school is maybe one particular occasion, but anytime people are prone to more spending you will probably get another wave of new cellphones in the market. Ie: Christmass, Valentines, Easter, Mothers day, Fathers Day, Back to School, Holoween, etc etc etc

I don't mind the occasional silly words in chat, the thing that gets to me is the constant BUZZING when you don't answer because you are busy doing something else!!!  Some people have their own way of chatting so they put those words in like lol or whatever.

you may have to get that service turned off for a while because it is eating up your minutes . This happened to a friend of mine with the joke of the day , he had to get his text msg turned off to make them stop !!!

Ask your service provider to deactivate this feature.\nGenerally, the cost of text messaging is for sending them, not receiving them, but if you simply want nothing more to do with it, your service provider will turn it off at your request.

I guess it would depend on if they have caller id or not....maybe you should find another way to pass the time, or hey they may find one for you.lol

Yes, it's because they're stupid and incredibly bored.  But, no - it's not because the Caps Lock is on.  That would make their text LOOK LIKE THIS.  Not lIkE tHiS.  It's a deliberate thing, not an accident
