    This seems really pompous and self important to me. Most people know to not expect an immediate response. I know it’s a joke but to say “it will take me 4 days to acknowledge you” is strange.

      While I agree, I understand their sentiment.

      Nobody deserves a response.

      I tend to surround myself with people who are chill, and immediately drop off anyone who responds/reacts quickly.

      I met a person at a meetup and connected. The next day, I had 3 text responses with small talk. Like “Hey what’s up?” “What’s your day like?” “How is work?” Fuck that, chill. they’re a perfect candidate for this.

      I accidentally logged on Facebook to fix a permission and almost instantly, I get bombarded with messages that I log off. Apparently me avoiding a message was so hostile that one of them proceeded to call me asking why Im ignoring them. Like damn, chill. I’ll message you when I’m ready.
