I drive my family crazy with nonsensical useless texting for as long as they will continue to respond. It really pisses me off when someone actually plays back.
Me: Do you want me to bring home JITB for you and Michael?
Him: Not for me but you can get Michael something.
Me: Let me know if he wants me to get him his usual.
Him: He will text you. Feel better?
Me: Did I feel bad to start?
Him: ???
Me: You asked if I feel better???
Him: Do you?
Me: Do I what? You do realize you are irritating me, right? And I am at a seminar all day?
Him: Feel better?
Me: Now you are just being a PITA
Him: Did you take something? Now you know how the kids feel.
Me: OMG! Do you mean like my tea was spiked?
Me: STOP IT!
Him: Stop What?
Me: I am seriously trying to pay attention to the E&Y presentation on FASB ED’s. The impact this will have on leases is very important and will have major cost reporting implications. (You do know I am so going to win this, right?)
Him: *$?
Me: No, too late. I already won. You can’t send three stupid characters and still play.
Him: * = star
Him: What is $
Me: My rules, dammit!
Him: $ = Bucks
Me: My ass = your $
Him: Get it? I win!!!!!!!!!!!
Him: *$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$
Me: I am not playing with you anymore.
Him: I won!
Me: Did not. Because you didn’t follow Lori’s texting rules.
Me: Fine, are you ready for round 2?
Him: What’s round?
Me: My ass. You suck at this game.
