Does anyone else text someone else in your own home if they are in another room? Am I just too lazy to go talk to them? Are you like me?

Little things like this matter. I would work from home doing something that needs my focus and get a sms that the courier is close. I need my focus to finish tasks fast so I will send a message to someone who should be more available.

It is not lazy or lacking respect. Sometimes it is more efficient and confortable for anyone involved.

Now that kinda behavior makes more sense to me. Context does matter a lot here. I used to get text messages from an upstairs roommate about wanting to go party with some friends or ordering food on the weekend.

Like, sure, we can do this over text, but it will take you less than thirty seconds to walk to my door. Just do that. The whole conversation will be faster then
