Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Average number of text msgs you get a day

When my nieces & nephews all got their first cellphones, right when texting first became popular, dumb ole redneck me asked my little brother why in the world were the kids doing that when they got a phone they could be talking on ???

Little brother just looked at me and laughed and said
“So their PARENTS don’t hear what they’re saying” ! 🤠

Are they dead or from the south?

I might get 2 a month. or none.

Most of the people I know have learned to text me if they want a response. Close family member I might answer a call from, but work calls get ignored. I already know what the call is about 99% of the time, and I also know that it will rarely require more than one,maybe 2 words from me to answer the questions being asked. They'll want to know if I'm done a job, or if I can go out on a job. I'll say yea or no, and that's it. If the boss calls, I know he's gonna prattle on about something for a few minutes at least because people seem to feel like they need to make the phone call seem worthwhile. I don't wanna talk nonsense with anyone for a few minutes, so I ignore the call, he texts, I answer, everyone is happy.

Same.

E-mails too.

Text is just so much easier. ESPECIALLY the voice-to-text feature.

Key the mic, speak your message and send

Or just ask Siri to bust open your contact list and tell her your message and she fires it to them.


So easy a cave man could do it.



Texting is awesome, it keeps me from getting sucked into the vortex of some old dumbfûck's John Wayne movie story or having to listen to their complaining. Unlike an actual over the phone conversation.

Just the cliff notes

Yep. I use that feature a lot on my iPhone

IO has stopped production of AK,s last year supposedly.
Web firearms sites are full of em used .
People asking top dollar for em tooo.

They seem to languish on sites for a long time!!!

Want us to follow your channel or slumthing?

That’s not Rene. 😳

+3 Zero and send zero. Big waste of time and much of it is rudely done in others presence. GW

Zero! Don't have an electronic leash.

ZERO here - I have that crap disabled... But that's just me..

I tossed our land line in the garbage can long about 2003

Have not used a 'desktop' or laptop computer in almost 4 years.



Like I said text is better for me, keeps me getting sucked into Guns Of Navarone movies stories with some old guys I know.


Text....."hey do you need some hickory slabs".....


Me/ ......yes

Text......"meet me down at the sawmill in 2 hours"


Me ....ok



------------------------

Yawn!!!! Get to skip all that retardism.

My dad is 71 and texts me and rest of the family couple times a say. Get to skip all the viet nam stories I've heard 23,000 fuggin times.

👍👍👍

Lee van cleef movie fest on Turner today!!!

Dad texts are the best. They usually include a pic, price and the question “is this a good deal?”

Maybe I should learn the txt.

You can send pics to your wife.

All day.

It's great.

Sure wish my dad would text, his current ms. doesn't allow it as she uses 17 folk worth of data.

He calls, I don't answer, he leaves VM and the 1st thing he says is 'hi xxxx this is dad'....every time.

I'm like dad there is this feature called 'missed call', I know that you called and I call you back every time.
"Oh yeah, I forget".
