OT: People who text memes

[Chanticleer37]

In the past few months, I've had two friends/acquaintances get pissed at me because I quit responding to their texts. Truth be known, I silenced their alerts because most of what they sent were stupid memes. I'm not talking 1 every now and then, I mean multiple memes per day. Both are professional men in early 40s.

Anyway, I was curious if any of you have dealt with this. I was honest with my friends and the memes have stopped. It's just a newer, quicker form of the forwarded email.

Memes cause joy and happiness with laughter. They’re trying to share happiness with you.

communication and noise are usually two different things, so if the "meme" carries a relevant point.......
I have not found a need for very many memes in my communications (there was a brief Baby Yoda phase but I was careful not to use excessively) . I do like the half full whiskey glass on I-phone typically on Friday shortly after 4pm

😳 We hate memes too.

I love a good meme. They can be overused but sarcasm is often missed in text but a good mocking meme is always picked up.

if you don’t have a good meme dealer I’m really not sure how you’re getting through life

Sending TikToks is how I show people I love them.

Its an app for sharing short videos. Its a minefield once you get there...some videos are random morons saying/doing boring things, but some videos are pure comic gold.

Memes are funny but yeah I don't need them texted to me. When you work online and spend time on forums, chances are you already saw it weeks ago anyway.

My cousin keeps involving me in a chat with 2 guys I don't know. I keep removing myself from the group.

 

[coolcock2001]

I silence every group message I get added to. Having my pocket buzz constantly gives me anxiety. You think something's wrong and it's just 10 people going "lol"

I’ve dropped out of every single group chat my family (on both sides) have ever added me to. I just can’t seem to bring myself to care when someone paints a room in their house or what they had for lunch and then everyone asking questions or making comments about it. For most of them the once or twice a year we typically talk is far more than I need.

I like sending movie quote memes

I have a family group for both sides and enjoy the heck out of it. We are very family oriented though.
Also have a group with my core group of friends. They can hit 500 text by lunch sometimes it’s 10 people though.

Since my department has been sent home permanently to work remote, We use MS Teams to communicate instantly. These people talk about everything except work all day long. Then I hear from salespeople that the younger workers are SLOW.

Memes are the lowest form of communication. They might as well be sending pics of the toilet after every bowel movement. Cut those friends off immediately.

 

[Boom4life]

Dang y’all are some cranky people. It’s just a meme.

 

[atl-cock]

My wife sends me a few memes a week, which is fine. That's different than being bombarded with them all day long.
