I Hate Texting

*texts comment*

i also have a hatred for texting. what is the point of it really?

yes i am lame :'( anyways.... nice totally true yo

1st!!!!!! lol at this joke Matt :)

You aren't first and don't be a retard: even if you were first, NOBODY CARES

2nd!!!

Fuck that, Matt. We are a generation of lazy, inconsiderate assholes. If I want to start a conversation with you, I'll use the internet to stalk you, find out where you live, get your number, and send pizzas and other various harassment to you.

..Wait.

Wait people break their necks to post first on stuff still? :-/
Anyway, good joke/illustration...

H20, its because they have a compulsion to have won/achieved something in their lives, no matter how insignificant it is.

I can never associate a real conversation with texting. Its just not right. Its too easy to confuse what people say on it.

exactly how i feel

This isn't so much funny as it is absolutely true.

Aww, poor phone. :(

I'd rather text, especially if it's someone I don't like.

And It's easier to ignore a text and pass it off as not getting received or something than it is a call.

Also I have unlimited texting, and anyone who'd want to call me would have to do it long distance.

But yeah, killing the joke. Woo

Maybe a sign that not many people want to commit to a conversation with you?

I don't mind talking back and forth through texts when necessary... but I don't do texted conversations.

Texting just plain sucks.
How many times have I seen a bunch of people together not talking to each other but texting to people who are not even in the place.
Pathetic.

i prolly couldnt live without txting lol. but thats just cause im pretty paranoid and hate ppl listening in on me so they cant wen i txt

you have some snazzy hair there

down with txting

Fine, Matt. I'll just attach words to bricks and throw them through your windows to start a conversation. Trust me. It's this or texting. Your move.

Awesome.

Yuh know, I've been with you so far, but... Gotta say, love texting.

Yes, I'm a loser who can't have a real conversation. And yes, I cheat and send all my messages as picture messages, which have 1000 character limits. Because, yes, I send novels with immaculate grammar and spelling every time I text. Great. I suck

It's not totally true you asshats. Texting is a great way to communicate all day long; in the cinema, when you're supposed to be working, all the time! So leave texting alone because only pussies put the time aside to actually ring someone!

Texting is good for awkward situations and not looking like a loser when sitting alone in a restaurant.

It says: "I'm not a lonely loser, I'm texting somebody cooler than you." When, in all reality, you're just tweeting, "I'm in a restaurant, lolz!!"

*like* :D

:/

LOL!

uhm, care to tell us why?

Texting was created so people could lie to/ break up with their significant others and feel less guilty about it

i lol'd hard

funny that he is making a picture against texting on the internet :> I think at least

I'm sorry but I just fail to see the humor here. You don't like texting, and you say so. Is there a joke I don't get here? Or does the inclusion of a swear word automatically make this funny?

Just my honest opinion.

Not everything Matt does is supposed to be funny. Some of it points out obvious truths.

I almost wee'd with laughter how don't u get it?

I am not a huge fan of Texting. At least I was not one of those Australians that got fired via text message.

But for me the issue is normally one of context. You read a message, then think "What did I say last time again?"

Anyways, I got an Android phone with threaded SMS and now I like texts more :-)

Word. I'm reading/commenting this on my Android right now. Threaded SMS is sexy.

I know. Especially if the person right next to me starts texting. While we're talking. Oh. And now my parents are texting. I'm about to go crazy.

texting > vocal communication

maybe you illiterate fucks should learn to read and type faster

PS anonymous posting is where its at; anyone who discourages it is a GIGANTIC moron, i wont be coming back to your weak site

Clearly, this one prefers texting to vocal communication because no one wants to be seen talking to him face to face.

Remember, this is meant to be a funny website, so just add a little "TWAJS" after everything.

Damn, kids these days, so high-strung.

Am I the only one that found the above comment outrageously funny?
"I won't be coming back to your weak site!" lol

No I found that to be pretty damn funny too. lol.

Tell the truth. You did this on your Blackberry, didn't you?

Well, you see, in some countries we don't have this whole Calling is free/cheap thing.
EG: New Zealand. At least $1 a minute, unless you have an OnAccount plan which gives you a limited number of minutes.
Most of the population under 25 have PrePay, where your only option for calls that aren't ridiculously expensive is Best Mates (unlimited texts/calls to ONE NUMBER for $6 a month).
On the other hand... TXT2000, 2000 texts to the Vodafone network is $10. TXT4000, 4000 texts to the Vodafone network is $14.
You can have multiple text conversations going.
You can text during schools with a lesser chance of being caught (and same goes for works that aren't fond of using phones).
Texting is less awkward. There's no odd silences, if you don't know what to say you can stop replying then blame it on your phone running out of battery.

Just some food for thought.

I hate texting because people look gay doing it. It's like checking out a girl across the bar, making eye contact, and then sipping your beer through a straw. Ghey!

Make no mistake. I love technology. I look badass when I'm recording electronic post-punk music on my Mac Pro. I look like I'm taking care of business when I'm talking on the phone, probably to someone more important than you. I can even look cool surfing the net on my iPad. But twiddling my thumbs sending texts like a gumsnapping tween? Ummmm, not so much.

I grew up in L.A. and learned that people judge you by how you present yourself. I care about how people perceive me. That's why I shower everyday, wear deodorant, wear cool clothes etc.

Do what you want.
