The new rules of communicating in the digital era

 

#2 For me,I rarely if ever use LOL but ok or k a lot.

 

15 unwritten rules of communicating in the digital age, according to people on Twitter

1. Don't randomly FaceTime people. If you want to Facetime, shoot them a text or call first.
2. One word texts like OK and LOL are conversation killers. Don't respond with one word, unless you don't want to talk anymore.
3. If someone you know comments on a photo or video you posted, you should respond. 
4. If someone communicates to you using a certain form of communication, e.g. e-mail, then you are expected to respond using the same form of communication.
5. Don't like your own posts. People see that, and it makes you look weird.
6. Don't ask for likes, comments or shares.
7. Don’t take hours to respond without an excuse.
8. You don't actually have to leave a voice message.
9. If someone asks you multiple questions via text, don't just reply to part of the message.
10. Don't post dozens of photos of cheezy quotes back to back.
11. It's OK to text Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, etc. You don't have to call. 
12. Don’t have one-on-one’s in the group-chat, better yet, rarely send group chats. They're mostly annoying and usually avoidable. 
13. Try not to deliver bad news via text. Don't deliver bad news via DMs.
14. If you don't get a response, you don't have to get angry. It's not always that big of a deal. 
15. If you have time to post on Snapchat, you have time to respond to text messages.

The OP has a typo, these rules are written down which means they are not unwritten.

 

YWIA.

[tanatastic 2,061]

I do none of these except the one word texts. They are perfectly fine and I don’t get why people are so bent about it. You asked me a yes or no question, I responded with yes or no, what the hell is your problem? You told me something that needed my verification or validation, I said OK, you want me to write a Hemingway sized novel about it instead?

I hate the unwritten rules of baseball. If my favorite team is losing, and with 2 outs and an 0-2 count in the 9th, and there is a perfect game on the line for the other team's pitcher, bunt away if that is the best chance to make a comeback. Defend the bunt if you want to earn the accolades.

You care if your team gets no hit?

A loss is a loss. by 1 or by 15 or with no hits.

OKAY

I dont understand 13

8 pisses me off. On the scale of communication things I hate, voicemail is just a notch above snail mail. Don't make me go in and retrieve God damn voicemail. I can see that you called. That's enough.

I leave vm so I can get my message to you without having to worry about you calling me back. I said it, you heard it, end of discussion. I'm not going to hang up just so I can text what I was about to say.

I hate when people call me back to ask a question that I already answered in a vm that they were too lazy to listen to. 

[Voltaire 4,560]

I don't break any since I don't know how to communicate with people using modern technology.

You probably do it properly. You say your name, one sentence, and hang up.

Most focks Yammer on asking how your weekend was and bullcrap and bury the point at the end.

Yep. Short and to the point in as few words as possible.

My point is, I want them to try to win until the last out. I don't care if that means a bunt or not a bunt. I don't care about the no hitter at all at that point.
