Common Courtesy

People these days are so attached to their technology devices, checking them gazillion times every hour. Updates are so efficiently passed on, fingers will be so busy tapping on them till numb BUT one thing is missing..

the courtesy to REPLY others.

My friend came complaining to me one day," I already pm-ed them on Facebook and all had seen my messages but no one replies :( ".

That is one MAJOR PROBLEM with social medias and people nowadays. Social media, why? Because they came up with this "brilliant" idea of 'last seen' and people? Being jerks for not replying. This is utterly annoying when it comes to urgent or formal matters. I would totally understand if the person was busy at the time you called or texted but do have the courtesy to at least reply the other person even if you do not return the call.

Another situation? When the person leaves you hanging there and goes to sleep. Okay, so you are very tired/sleepy and you just need to KO straight away. Just type three alphabets, "gtg" (got to go). Is it that hard that it'll suck dry your energy? Imagine the other person who stays up and waits for your reply.

3rd situation? When someone texts you to inform something or asks for a favor. If you have seen the message but being too much of a sloth to reply, I think even replying a "k" (okay) would be so much better than replying nothing. At least the other party would know that you have taken note of it.

All in all, I just want to say.. Next time before you ignore another person's message, do put yourself into the other person's shoes. How would you feel when someone ignores you? Especially when it's related to something important. And even if you don't mind being seen as rude, at least have respect towards the other person.

*It would be totally understandable if you want to ignore someone who's SUPER DUPER ANNOYING that SPAMS NONSENSE 
but 
do be considerate towards other innocent humans k? (:




Just a random thought and PSA for all texting lovers!
Have an awesome weekend! 




Much loves, xoxo.
