I used to think that not responding to a text in which a specific question and deadline is given is ruder than saying ‘Fuck you’ to someone’s face. At least the ‘fuck you’ indicates you care the bare minimum to respond. To simply ignore someone means you don’t even give the slightest fuck about them.
That said, it seems to be the acceptable mode of operating these days, so rather than try to fight it anymore, I’m giving in… and not responding to texts. Especially texts that request a response.
Sometimes it’s easier to be a flake than to fight with a flake.
(And I still don’t really understand what a flake is.)
PS – This actually wasn’t written with a specific person in mind, but if you think it’s you, well…
