Is it rude to ask someone to turn it off? I have a friend who has it on and we're always in group texts together. I regularly open the convo and close it and asks me if I want to sent the send report. Makes me want to throw my phone.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
They tell us "Rock'n'roll is the devil's music." Well, let's say we know that rock is the devil's music, and we know that it is, for sure … At least he fuckin' jams! If it's a choice between eternal Hell and good tunes, and eternal Heaven and New Kids on the fuckin' Block … I'm gonna be surfin' on the lake of fire, rockin' out.
Just turned mine off. I had no idea it was a problem.
It doesn't bother me when other people have then on, it just surprises me they haven't chosen to turn it off yet. If you have it on and I have it off, I can see when you've read something but you can't see when I have. And it's the second bit that would bother me (because sometimes I don't answer immediately after I've read something, and I want that to be a secret!), so no skin off my nose!
I'm in the same camp as postjack. I would never buy a Mac or anything like that because I like building my own computers, and I mainly use Linux whenever I can. Only thing that sucks about Linux is that my favorite music player, Foobar, isn't compatible. I think Macs and iPhones are generally good for people that aren't really familiar with the more technical side of computing - they're hard to fuck up by accident.
There's no linux version of foobar? Thats surprising to me for some reason.
I used foobar for a while but eventually gave over to laziness and shelled out the cash for JRiver. It is really a fantastic piece of software. Of course no where near as customizable as foobar but extremely powerful and super easy to use.
I haven't built a machine in a couple years and am getting the itch, but my current machine works so well with the games I play I don't have a strong urge to upgrade.
I'm always amazed to see someone still has them on when I text them for the first time. So weird.
right?! I'm actually amazed apple hasn't just gotten rid of it.
they're just torture devices. for instance, my friend was seeing this prick, and he was supposed to get together with her that night. he never had his read receipts on, but turned them on that evening. and continued not to respond to her texts. therefore, I conclude only terrible people keep their read receipts on.
Call me a terrible person... I leave my read receipts on. Ya know, if someone wants to get their panties/briefs all in a bunch because I haven't replied to them immediately, that's their problem. I like letting them know I have read it, so my phone doesn't get blown up with 100 texts about the same thing (coworkers will not leave me alone sometimes)... like if I'm in a meeting- I'll get back to you when I can. Also, I do enjoy making some people sweat about me not replying to them immediately. Sorry- I don't answer to you, I'll communicate when and how I choose. Does that make me a butt-hole? Maybe. Does it make me happy? Yes.

I'm not saying that it's not okay to take time to reply to someone, but it just plays mind games with who you're texting. and yes, it's totally irrational, because you're like, "well, okay I do that too..." but sometimes there are things that you're better off not knowing.
like, if I'm hungover on a saturday, and I'm begging my friends to come save me and take me to brunch, and I see that they read my text but have yet to respond, I just lie there in AGONY thinking "WHY DON'T MY FRIENDS WANT TO SAVE ME FROM MY HANGOVER?!?!?!?!" I mean, they always end up replying like 5 minutes later. but those extra 5 minutes are all a whirlwind of self judgement and concern. mind games, man.
