I hope I don't sound like an old fowl, when I say I'm not really into texting.  How annoying is it when you are trying to drive and read a text message.  Just call me - that way I can keep my eyes on the road, while I'm talking to you.  When someone is into texting, it really says a lot about their age, lifestyle and generation category.  Can you imagine being slightly tipsy and trying to read a text on top of it; then trying to respond (while driving?)  This is not a good idea.  Please do not ever do this.  I finally gave up and responded with a call back.    I don't get it!!  It takes that much longer to type out a sentence, than just  speaking the words.  

Most of my friends and peers do not text;  Maybe once in a while, if we are trying to be hip. So, when this new acquaintance of mine  just kept  texting, I said wait a minute - How old is this guy anyway?!!!  He must have asked the same question of me when  I insisted on calling instead of texting.  (LOL)                                            

Seriously though, especially when driving, its best not to be on the phone at all.  If you have to be on the phone, its better to  just talk - even better  -   hands free with the phone on speaker.   I say, wait until you reach your destination, but if you  have to respond to a call really quickly call instead of text.   Of course, if you are not driving - by all means, knock yourself out and put those thumbs to work.  I must admit, texting does have it's place though, especially if  the topic is a little awkward and you don't necessarily want to have a verbal discussion about it.

OMG -  I can't believe it.  I am a talker not a texter - Am  I old-fashioned???    I don't think so!!!!

Are you a talker or a texter?
