If someone gives me a "lol" then either they might actually find the previous statment funny or they dont know what to say. People give fake laughs in real life all the time to comments that are of little meaning or weird. Doesnt always imply they are trying to end the convo...things of this nature are just to minute to waste time letting them really bother you. I try an not make something out of nothing if at all possible. I mean there are bigger things in life to get upset about than things of this nature. The fact that something like texting k or lol annoys people is actually funny in itself. I mean their are bigger things to worry or get upset about in life than this..like for instance...the rapture is about to happen in a couple of days people!!!.....

I agree with most of what you said there.

I'm guilty of over thinking as well but I'm trying to stop doing it so much.

The most annoying text I get is when someone sends a text and while I'm in the middle of responding they call me. WTF why didn't you just call me in the first place or at least be patient enough to wait for my reply. So the message I spent time typing up ends up just disappearing into the open void because on my phone it doesn't even save to drafts when a phone call comes in.

i wouldn't say it's rude, it's just lazy half-assed texting, at least post a proper reply to what I just texted

k is just a short version for ok.

If you send a text saying we will be meeting at the movies at 9pm then I think it's perfectly fine to say "k" or even "ok" to acknowledge that I understand and will follow through with the plan.

i expect "meet at which place" etc or "it's gonna be fun", not just "k"

I guess i don't find a problem with it either way. I think my problem usually stems from the fact that i can have a two minute conversation and cover about fifteen texts and save myself the hassle of constantly texting back and forth. I think texting should be done by someone who doesn't want to be rude when in a group and wants to leave a brief message for another person. Some people have no texting edicate however and will text incessantly, that would be my only problem with texting in general.

i dont think it's that bad when someone says "k" or "yeah" or something like that. The thing that really gets on my nerves is when I just get "no". i mean damn, something about that response just makes me angry.

hmm getting angry when someone responds "no" probably means you aren't comfortable with rejection.

Texts have to have smileys or kisses for me if they are blunt or else I get the wrong idea and think there is a reason for them being dry.
