I recently had to text my daughter’s friend’s parents to make sure they had the correct address for our home. Not a huge problem…just send them our address via text message.
They were overdue so I sent the following message.
Me: Having problems finding our house? Our address: 1XXXX SE 23X Street Misty Meadows neighborhood (behind the pink mansion).
Them: Who is this?
Me: Hi Mark, it’s K’s dad Kevin
Me: Angie wanted to know where K was. I told her not to worry but I wasn’t sure if Lisa knew how to find our house.
Them: You have the wrong number stop texting me.
Me: Sorry.
See, wasn’t that a pleasant way to end the texting conversation? I really wanted to say:
Me: Maybe if you were better at texting and faster responding to me I wouldn’t be sending you a bunch of texts you dork.
But I didn’t….I was nice because they had my address. Don’t want to upset some crazy like me!
