36 Hours is Not a Proper Response Time

• drivebyacct2 15y ago
  I'm sorry, but 2-2-2 is absurd. I can't get my phone out of my pocket in 2 seconds to answer it, I can't get texts reliably enough to respond in 2 minutes, and quite frankly, despite spending 90% of my time in front of a computer, 2 hours is neither enough to formulate a complete response to (some) emails, nor is it sufficient time to get to a computer to type such a response.

    2-2-2 is fine or not fine. As a practical matter, if anyone is counting minutes to response for a text, it doesn't always work. There are often minutes of delay between transmission and reception. It's like trying to count rings and hang up, as some sort of free, coded message transmission. The thing that makes rings on your end is independent of the thing that makes rings on their end.

  While I generally agree with this sentiment: "if it's important, I'll probably call you before I text you, and text you before I email you." The combination of the 2-2-2 rule and this sentence - "Needless to say, I've been told to screw off on many occasions :)" - leads me to believe that the author needs a little advice on human interaction. If you're the only one who DOESN'T think that you're an a--hole, then maybe you should get used to the fact that you're an a--hole.

    It's meant to be a bit of humor, and a little entertaining. My human interaction is very much fine.
