Let's say someone texts you. What do you do?

Do you a) text them a reply, b) call them back, or c) ignore it. In some cases certainly the purpose of a text is just to make you laugh, so no callback is needed. But in the other case where it requires a response, what do you do? Look no further for the answer, in this, my quick little guide to texting and callbacks.

No, you cannot call someone back after they text you.

Unless the specifically say “call me when you get this” and even then I wouldn’t just because they abuse the purpose of texting. Send a text when you want to make a connection without talking out loud. Text someone a funny moment, funny line, or something from life that you just have to share with a friend.

But be a good friend, and don’t call back. Texts are made to be exchanged, not an inspiration for a phone call.

So let it be written, so let it be done.
