Omfg, why don't people use multiple lines to formulate their statement?

I have to hear 10 pings before they are even midway through what they are saying.

Edit: to clarify - it's not the pings (or any anger or annoyance toward those generally, it's the purposeless emptiness of them, looking at then individually), it's the short messages that I read and then have to wait for the next several to even get the picture (and in between returning to whatever I was working on before, several times).

Muscle memory from when people get annoyed that I'm "taking too long"

Sometimes it's appropriate to do many small messages as you're writing up the full thing, other times it's better to wall of text. It depends on the person and context imo

Yes, ofc, the nuances are part of the digital literacy (and I agree completely - if a convo is two-sided and active, ofc).

But in the initial message, 'people don't know' how long you are writing it.

Also, just put your phone on vibrate or something, Jesus. Such a petty thing to care about.

It's up there with caring about the color of your text bubble.

I have it muted, bit still get bubbles on my PC - it's the fact that I get to read those bubbles & then have time to get back up my work two or three times before they get to their question or whatever.

How many times you get distracted during your work is important to basically all people, it's just how our brain work (and how much the chemicals of managing such switches get to you in the long run).
