Finally, someone has put a name to my personal texting pet peeve:

The Dangling Text: Nothing leaves someone to ponder their last correspondence more than the dangling text…it’s just out there cavorting amongst the airwaves unattended and unanswered. Whilst engaging in digital banter, keeping the pace is imperative. If you must abruptly return to the board meeting or tend to the whipper snappers, send a polite “/text” to inform your cohort that your attention is needed elsewhere and you will resume at a more convenient time. Not doing so is as rude as hanging up without saying good-bye…and that’s not okay either! (Eve-101)

I feel the same way about IM conversations where the other person just “hangs up” in the middle. Grrrrr! Rude!!

Some things just make you laugh out loud; this picture from PostSecret did the trick for me today.

And yes, for exactly the reason that you’re thinking. ;-)
