what you would call "textually challenged". Don't get me wrong, I know how to text. I just did the old way. You know, hitting each key individually to spell the word out. Then a "monogamy challenged" friend led me into the wonderful world of T9 or smart text and I have never looked back. I have become a texting fiend. So much so, that my 6 key on the keypad is worn. The 8 is getting close and I've only had the phone for 2 months. It wasn't something I had to worry about with my old one. Those keys were hard. I've become so quick at it the I'm done and the phone is playing catch up. It's awesome.
I thought, gone were the days of slow texting. Gone were the days of mispelled words. Gone, I tell you, gone. Until this afternoon, that is. Here is my text.
"Sweet we are having to go to another starbucks as the one we went to was only selling talk dimples as they were out of kids"
Hit send. Sending. Showing me what I sent. WHOA WHOA WAIT....WTH ?!?!?!? Laughing. Car horn honking. Brakes being slammed on. Me screaming. No I didn't get into an accident. I was not driving. I was a passenger, hence the reason I was texting. Yeah, I said hence. Some idiot was backing out of a parking space while looking the OPPOSITE direction of the way they were pulling out. And.........they were on the phone !!!! Which by the way is ILLEGAL in my state !!!
What I was trying to say was :
"Sweet we are having to go to another starbucks as the one we went to was only selling tall drinks as they were out of lids"
The response I got :
Cool. see ya when you get here
The recipient didn't read it.
