Post by MetalSludgeCEO »

Which person are you?

And does this differ in business, or personal?

I am in awe when someone messages me in Messenger for instance, asks a question, and I answer in 30 seconds... then they're next reply is a day later. #WTF

Example: "Hey, big fan, will you combine shipping on multiple items?"

Me less than 1 minute later: "Sure... but I guess it depends, what items do you want and where is it going to?"

Them 2 days later: "Hey bro... I am not sure yet."

Me less than 1 minute after their reply: "Okay, here is my store, all items, etc... let me know."

Them a day later: "Any tour plans for Washington?"

Me: :shock: "

I usually reply as soon as I see the message. If I see the message after about 9 pm (and it was sent much earlier), I'll usually wait until the next day, after 9-10 am, to reply.

1) Not everyone is on their social media every single minute of every day
2) Some people probably just want to feel special for having gotten a reply from someone they perceive to be a rock star
3) People, in general, suck

1. Getting a Text, is not social media.
2. Getting a call, is not social media.
3. Getting an email, is not social media.
4. Agree, a percentage of people do suck.

Immediately. I can’t stand seeing red on my phone apps. Only scenario I don’t is if I’m pissed or it’s someone I don’t like. They can wait.

So, no time to hit the CAP lock for the use of the letter 'I' in your reply?

I hate texting, takes me forever to type out a message and is a major hassle compared to a computer keyboard.

Text messages: I'll reply when I'm in public transport or sitting in a café. Sometimes I'll reply by email; drives people nuts but I give zero fucks.
Email: I only read them at home on my computer, so I usually reply as soon as I see it.
Whatsapp: I'll reply when I get home since I have it in a browser tab and can type replies on a keyboard.

I’ve been told I type and text like SIXTEEN year old cheerleader
That’s because of 5000 teenage girls or more at Flesh N Blood tour I saw

Most of my texts include the same number of words and emojis :lol:

When ya hang with strippers and country girls nobody wants a Rush type text

I’m pretty sure I text like Val Venus

I answer when I want..nobody is that important ever

ASAP or within the hour. I find people that reply days later or never are inconsiderate pricks. Most everyone has their phone on at all times.

When I was a junior in high school I took a typing class. It was old school typing on an actual typewriter every day. Me, my stoner friend and about 25 of the prettiest girls in the school. It was a great way to kill an hour.

Little did I know how important that was. At work I get tons of emails. Literally a few hundred every day. So I reply within the day for sure. I tend to keep it short and sweet. Professional and polite.

Like the person CEO was complaining about....some people reply too fast or make it TOO brief. I hate when you have to correspond back and forth like 20 times because they didn't give you all the information needed.
