The hilarious ‘Textually Active’ sketch done by video blogger Adande Thorne, whose YouTube name is sWooZie, features some of the dilemmas of modern-day text etiquette.
In this day and age, you’re sure to have come across someone with a different idea of text etiquette than your own. Some treat texting as an instant messaging device—the more instant the better. Others view it as an email alternative—they’ll get to it when they get to it.
The hilarious Textually Active video examines the obnoxiousness of some of these types that will either ignore or simply leave you hanging during text conversations. While there is yet to be a universally appropriate text, phone or email etiquette, the video does highlight how easy it is to take a wrong step.
