I lost two friends because of trying to tell a joke through texting and voicemail

[fbj]

So I learn from my mistakes and effective April of 2016, I will not have a texting conversation ever again. My limit now is send one text a day and send one response a day. If I call someone and the voicemail comes on, don't leave shit just hang up the phone.

All my communication now will be face to face or telephone as i move forward. I must learn from this experience.

Just use voicemail for what it's intended for -- raw one-way information. "Got your package today"... "I'll be there around 3:30" --- not things that require feedback (two-way).

Yanno the Amish don't use telephones for that reason --- it takes away the subtle content of visual face-to-face commuication.

Texting, I have yet to figure out any reason for that to exist at all, other than as an emergency last resort when phone communication is out.

I believe cellphones have to be the worst invention by mankind... The greatest is internet porn...

You should send both of them a case of Snapple as an apology. .....

Chances are, they weren't your friends and didn't know you had their numbers and emails. They're probably sobbing hysterically on Dad's couch about right now while he oils the guns and calls the cops.

If you actually lost people over a simple miscommunication or a single profanity, they were not friends. You just knew them.

Text in any form...message boards....cell phones...Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, and many others is the most misunderstood for of communications. Can't tell ya how many times that I, or someone I was communicating with misunderstood due to text. Speaking the words give a clue as to how you mean them.
I have had to apologize more than once over text communication gone bad.

The Bold is the important part, in my opinion. If there was a miscommunication, apologize and go on.

If they are true friends things will work out.

fbj, here is the important question. Did you apologize for whatever miscommunication or profanity caused the problem?
