My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

On the last one, a lot of places have switched to SMS to talk to someone faster. Even if they take just as long it's a lot less frustrating that waiting on hold.

I was about to say SMS isn't an an old person trate but then I realized SMS has been around for awhile and I might be the old person.

yeah, i do that too. SMS will be delivered and SEEN, there is no 'oh, i havent seen it' excuse. i asked a girl on a date once, using SMS and she said she hasnt seen it, and now the service provider and the glowies know about it but i know for sure that it was a no.
