My father has found out that if he texts me, it is much more likely that I will respond faster. I don't mean to stray off topic here, but just because someone is texting doesn't make it any less rude when they are in certain social situations. I took a girl out recently and she texted the entire night. When I have jokingly called her out on it, she said "Well its not like I was on the phone." Thank God I only took her to Bojangles. I went through a drive through just this morning and had to wait a full minute while someone finished a text message. However, if I had as much facial hair as she did (and if I were a female) I'd probably stay inside and text rather than show myself in public. Sorry for the rant. Screw texting.
