I write all my messages like there will be a 5 day delay for a response. Some people think I am mistaking the chat app for an email service lol

Another thing that is irritating is when people

Type part of a sentence

And sends it

But continue on

And on

And you're just like

Are you done?

It's arguably less productive than asking to ask, as your attention is constantly grabbed to the new messages, instead of going back to your thing while waiting for the other to say their question
