What’s the general consensus on group texts (you know, the text you get that happens to include many other people – and sometimes phone numbers you don’t recognize – then blows up your phone as those many people respond)? Yay or nay?
Only acceptable when sharing cute human or fur children pictures?
Only acceptable when everyone in the group knows everyone else?
Only acceptable for emergencies (in which case a phone call would have been better but wasn’t possible)?
Only acceptable for forming plans with large groups?
Only acceptable for continuing inside jokes?
Acceptable all the time?!
Hmm.
I admit, sometimes I like them and sometimes I don’t. And I am MAJORLY guilty of using one for a long time now.
I mentioned in December that I was doing a bad job keeping people updated on house stuff. So I started a group text to update everyone anytime we had news.
“The septic was finally fixed!”
“We think we’ll close in two weeks!”
“Nevermind.”
Ha ha.
I updated everyone throughout the move then asked if anyone wanted to be dropped off the conversation or if they wanted to keep getting house updates – because there is still stuff going on every day (as you’ve seen here).
Everyone stayed on! Ha ha.
And I’ve found the group text is a nice place for me to find house photos on my phone. I upload photos (and delete them off my phone) most days, so I can’t access them in my photos folder. I have a folder on Google Drive for storing photos (which I can get to by my phone), but sometimes it’s easier to find one in the group text (if I don’t want to show my blog to someone). Anyway.
So I enjoy the group text… but I still feel like I’m being annoying!
