I’ve done that a handful of times. It’s only happened when I’ve been on full mental autopilot and totally distracted with other things.
The more frustrating part about it is that my acquaintances notice and figure if I slip up, then it’s more okay if they slip up from time to time too. And yeah, I try not to give people too much grief if they make mistakes, but, like… Please try not to make mistakes.
Good question. I don’t have a good answer. I just wanted to pause for a moment and reflect on how concisely this question captures the moment we’re living in.
You don’t think the #tuesday chatter is exciting? For real though, I get the same vibe. It usually makes me close the app shortly after I open it. Maybe I’m not giving it enough of a chance.
One of my acquaintances started a fairly large group text thread recently. Somewhere along the way someone said, “Who’s the android user in here ruining everything?” I never said anything in the thread, so I felt like I was in the corner of a crowded room wearing a disguise about to be exposed.
I was also pretty annoyed. Like, what’s it matter? Texts are for text. Text works fine.
