Have you ever been so lazy that you will text the person in the next room

[rcrush]

Rather than get out of bed and go talk to them? I did that today. I couldnt even make myself call them. I had to text cause dialing and talking was too much trouble. I am reaching new heights of slob behavior.

1. Not quite the next room, two or three rooms over and one small flight of stairs

Does that count?

[rcrush]

4. thats like a modern version of how my family used to operate

When I was growing up. We would just yell across the house at each other. Or more accuately everyone in the house would yell at me from across the house. Drove me nuts for awhile.

2. IDT*

*I Don't Text.
And probably never will.

3. my daughter IM's me and she's just in the next room.

:eyes:

What's bad is I IM her back.

[dolo amber]

5. Never. That's appalling.

I've also never Gmail chatted instructions to my assistant in the next office over to bring me files from the closet outside of my office. Or texted someone next to me at a movie. Or texted my daughter to bring me the water bottle I left on the desk outside of my bedroom...while laying in bed.

Nope. That's just appalling.

6. I have even texted someone in the back seat when I was up front

so I didnt have to turn my head.

I kid, I kid. I only text to my children and they are 800 miles from me.

7. Never!

But I think I will try it this weekend! :thumbsup:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Ha. All the time. I text my kids from my office.

9. I don't text, my dear rcrush!

But my husband will call me from line #2 to my line #1...

Of course, he's downstairs, and I'm upstairs!

10. I used to text my dates in the same room at parties

Let's get out of here..this is boring..let's go get something to eat..etc.

[PeaceNikki]

11. I have "Dinner's ready" saved as quick text in my phone.

[Rhythm]

12. Not 'lazy', but i have either texted or IMed Lyric from across our mobile home

...just to save from the inevitable series of events that begins with me hollering something down the hall, her saying "what'd you say?" and them me hollering again. *L*

[jobycom]

13. No way. I always phone or IM.

But I'm really slow with my thumbs, so texting is the least lazy option for me.

[Iggo]

14. Ah, the joy of unlimited texting.

You're damn right I text from the next room...lol.

[rcrush]

15. Sometimes I use the internet to call my phone if I cant find it

Rather than looking for it. lol

[Kat45]

16. I'd be too lazy to text. n/t

[Chan790]

17. I do that all the time...

my roommate and I do that particularly when discussing work so that there is a record of what was said.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I use the intercom on the phone. Does that count?

[JCMach1]

[coyotespaw]

21. Well, my roomie does that to me all the time...

the virtual world second life is great when you have laptops and wireless connections

[Jeep789]

23. Guilty, but not due to being lazy

Jusst don't want to interrupt which older kids consider a simple knock on the door to be(as I have learned).

[Jamastiene]
