My Official Sign To Stop Texting
For those of you who know me well, you know that I am a big time text message person. Even though I hate it, it is who I am. I am a "texter." Ever since I got one of them cool phones about a year and a half ago ...I was MF'd. I get made fun of to be honest. I am sure I am no teenage girl, but I have sent/received 2500 in a month before. I probably do about 800-1000 on a "normal" month. Ok, so since I am a teenage girl, I get made fun of.
I have been looking for my sign or my "out" to drop the texting game and pick up the whole calling people again thing. Fast forward to last week in Chicago. I was at a conference for work (with a bunch of teenagers) and excuse my language but I had to urinate. I stepped inside the empty restroom at my hotel where the conference was being held. As I was urinating (my god, I hope I don't have any readers with a urination fetish) my phone vibrated.
Ooh! Text!
Nobody was around so I reached into my right pocket to grab my phone to check my text. My undone belt, which had been resting on the side of the urinal slipped inside when I grabbed my phone. As I checked my text, I peed on my belt. I laughed. I actually looked at my phone and thought bad thoughts (you MF!).
BUT ...I think the only way I will stop texting is if I get rid of my phone and just go back to a simple cell phone. You know, the kind with which you ignore people.
