One thing about me is that when someone texts me, I always feel obliged to respond. And not just respond with a short "yes" or an abrupt "ok" but a full on sentence. Going back to what we learned in grade school, a sentence usually encompasses a subject noun, a verb, and a direct object. 3 out of 5 people in my life ALWAYS text the shortest responses known to man, and sometimes it's frustrating. I just let petty things of this matter peeve me.
I guess it's easier for me to respond with paragraphs rapidly because I have a QWERTY keypad but even when I used T9, I would respond with at least 3 words and an ending punctuation and occasionally throw in a smiley (I love smiley faces and emoticons). I've just sat through too many grueling minutes of waiting for an anticipated response that my life usually depends on and all I get is an "alright," FML. If it's easier for some people to respond with one word, then so be it, I have no right to try to change that.
But I just wanted to vent how annoying it is.
And next time you text me, throw me a bone.

omg i thought i was the only one! i always respond with at least 3 words even if one of those is not an actual word but a "haha".
i HATE one word responses, id rather not get a text if its just going to read "ok" or "yep".
if i respond with one word its only because im angry :)
Hahahahaha.
You and I are the same. When I respond with only one word its out of anger or spite too! I HATE "sure." I think that's one of the worst!
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i respond with one word if i'm mad or if i don't wanna talk or if i'm driving....
hahaha
the WORST is "k"
ahhhhhhhhh
oh, dee dee, suprisingly "k" is one of the ones I get the most.
and everytime I get it, I want to punch something. LOL.
