Mini Rant: SMS Spammers
I’m not talking about strangers that send you the odd text message about signing up to a new casino website or buying penis stiffening solutions of the internet … I’m talking about people you know that send messages ALL THE TIME. There are people in my life … and I’m not saying I’d rather NOT have friends … but there are people in my life that just never …. SHUT … UP!
I have one friend in particular who has literally not left me alone for a period of 24 hours for over 12 months. He sends the occasional email as well, but it’s mostly SMS and he is the main reason why my phone is always set to silent these days. Irritating wanker that texts with messages ranging from the most mundane crap to requests that I do all sorts of shit, regardless of time of day or whether I’m at work at the time or not!
I know there are people like this in almost everyone’s life and I think it’s time we figuratively and collectively all stood up and told them to FUCK OFF!
I’ve not been a fan of the text message – or even the mobile phone – for a long time. I find them to be the single most instrumental device in the decline of both general manners and society as a whole. However, this breed of mobile phone user is the worst of the worst.
Yet, even within this fetid pool of the rankest element in our society, there are discrete levels of depravity.
Those that don’t let 24 hours pass without texting everyone in their phonebook are annoying.
Those that do so by the use of mass texting, so all you get is a generic load of spouted bullshit, are even worse.
But the top prize goes to those irritating fuckers that send you a lengthy text message, full of questions you are required to answer … and then, within 90 seconds – while you’re still attempting to make some sense of their fevered, grammatically incorrect ramblings – they send another!
Would you just fucking STOP doing that shit?!
By sending a text message, you are entering into a social contract that requires you to await a response. Much in the same way that when I receive a text message, I am obliged by that same social contract to reply within a certain acceptible timeframe.
If these social contracts – the unwritten laws of the very society that keeps us on this side of anarchy – are ignored or allowed to break down, chaos will rule!
And, believe me, the people responsible for keeping your cellular network functional will be amongst the first to submit to that chaos, rendering your shitty little iPhone USELESS!
So.
For the sake of all that is good in this world.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
WAIT YOUR TURN!
And LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE unless you have something important to say, you waste of cock juice.
