I'm trying to cut back. I usually do it mostly for humor and sexual molestation, but people are taking that shit too far now. I've been going well over my 250 texts / month plan for a long time now so bumped up to 500. But shit, some of my biz clients text me relatively important info, so there is a useful side to it.
I have a Blackberry, as do most of my friends and colleagues, so weuse BBM mostly (which is awesome). I get angry when people overtext (happens way too often). Fucking pick up the phone and say hi, you pussies. We're moving backwards in the social communication realm.
Also, people, put the fucking phone/blackberry down and look me in the fucking eye when we're together (personal or biz situation). This is an incredibly rude epidemic that has become socially acceptable (along with drive-texting). I do it all the time. Trying to get better, though. I actually turned my phone off the other night during dinner with a girl/friend. First time I did that in a while, but it needs to happen more often.
