100% the very last paragraph. Why do I have to wait for 78 messages to trickle through for one thought?
To add to that, starting with “hi” and waiting for a reply is a great way to not get a reply from me.
Well guess what
I’m pregnant…
So…
Hi
It depends.
My coworkers write me “hi, do you have 5 min?” without telling me what it is because they know I would drop what I’m doing and directly focus on the new task. (It’s how I am, and they know how to deal with it). With a little hi… they give me the option to say “sure, lets talk in 10 min” and finish what I’m doing.
But even “hi do you have 5 minutes” is more than I get from one team. I get “hi” and then they wait for my reply before anything else. If I don’t reply right away, nothing, silence.

Shit message tbh
why?
because.thatswhy
I usually wait 5 to 15 minutes before responding to the “hi”. Most of the time people send their question on minute 3 and then I respond instantly
Salutations in written exchanges are a way for me to soothe my social anxiety by informally requesting permission to talk with someone ^^’
I agree, me too. People are so easily angered these days. Saying “hi” to start a chat is not a sin.
If this angers you, you get angry too easily.It’s not an anger thing. I’m not mad when people do it. But it’s a time wasting thing and I’m not gonna waste my already under-available time. This gets pushed a lot within my work. Senior devs get a lot of messages. I regularly am spending a substantial amount of my day dealing with messages asking for help, reviews, and more, so anything they can do to be more actionable makes things go better for everyone.
Also, there’s some people that take “hi” messages to extremes, as they won’t even send their actual message until you reply to the “hi”.

oh no!
anyway
Why is his wife reading his texts from his employees? Unless it’s a family owned business that doesn’t seem too professional.
Because it’s obviously fake
Obviously, I’m just questioning the logic of the scenario.
Boss’s phone (could be a personal phone) is on living room table, screen lights up from the message, wife sees it, done.
There were replies between the messages so the notifications wouldn’t show messages that were already considered read. Just seemed scripted. Unless the wife was the one who sent the first 2 replies.
Not worth getting hung up on authenticity though since there will never be a way to prove if it’s wrong or real. I just try to appreciate the humor and assume it was faked either way.
Message comes in, lights up the screen, boss picks it up and replies, turns off the screen, puts the phone back on the table, next message follows, lights up the screen and there you go, that’s the one you want the wife to see.
Not worth getting hung up on authenticity though
Oh I agree I was just thinking how this could work if it was real
It says she read the first couple of messages not just the first message.
sharing confidentential employee info with 3rd parties is also a privacy violation.
The better question is why are you texting your boss to say this? Even if your work is in close relation to what your boss does and/or your his assistant or something, texting about maternity leave isn’t exactly the most appropriate.
So this community is basically any image with text on it?
Password protect ya phones y’all and don’t share em.
Wife doesn’t trust you? Just lock your phone. Problem solved.
do you people not have notifications on the lockscreen? fuck having to open the phone to see what’s going on.
Mine doesn’t need to be opened, but it does need to be unlocked.
No? I might have tweaked mine but have no memory of it.
It’s a fairly common feature. Message comes in, lights up the screen, you can see which app the notification is from, who sent the message and what they wrote. Usually there’s privacy options to hide the message content or even the sender.
Might’ve just seen them light up the screen. I’m constantly seeing the messages my wife gets because they light up her screen and the automatic reaction (at least from me) before realizing is to glance at the screen.
Though from options you can hide the sender and content and even disable the screen from lighting up.
I at least appreciate the ellipses. When I text I try to keep within the 160 characters or 313 characters limit. So I use … to indicate I haven’t finished my thought or prepend a … to show that it is a continuation of my previous message.
I just use it … to replace all punctuation … I’m a very smart person … not crazy or anything … You can trust my mind …
I never thought this would work? But it seems to add some kind of? Flare? Interesting?
You’ve cracked the code!!!
Are you talking about SMS? Why do you worry about the character limit? Aren’t you going to use the same amount of messages regardless of if you break it up or not?
I used to have to pay 35c per message. I can fit 160 characters in a single message, or 150ish if you combined messages. Years later my messages became free and so I used fewer shorthands but that habit stuck.
Because they’re upset and want to convey that?
Why did a fully grown adult type all caps like that
I’m my experience it’s mostly 60+ yo adults that type in all caps.
Cruise control for cool
