The Instant Response

Very few things are more pathetic than the instant response. That’s when you respond to a text, email, phone call, Facebook post, tweet, etc. right away and it’s totally obvious that you were waiting to do so. It doesn’t impress anyone, especially the one you’re trying to impress. You have to delay your response, you gotta slow things down a little bit, you need to take your time. Cool your jets, deploy the parachute, tap the brakes. Think it through and think it out. Don’t jump, don’t pounce, definitely don’t tackle. I don’t know how else to say it, so just don’t do it. I’m talking about the internet-related instant response only. The person-to-person/comedic improvisational instant response is not only acceptable, but welcome at any time. The world always needs a laugh.

Getting a Bad Phone Call

Everyone texts these days. So when your dad calls you, your mom calls you, and your sister calls you all in rapid succession, you know that something bad has happened. Either Grandma just died or they finally found her body. Chances are that someone is hurt, sick, dead or dying when you get that many calls from family members. Maybe they have to put your dog to sleep. You sure as hell didn’t win the lottery. You know you’re probably getting bad news, you try to prepare yourself, and it still doesn’t help. At least it’s a phone call so nobody can see you cry.
