If I get a nicely composed request to help someone move, it's only fair that I get to take a minute or two to either decide that I'd like to help that person, or else to decline tactfully. Telling someone to stuff it isn't always the right way to say no to someone.

And then there's those situations when a poor decision from the previous weekend starts texting for some more action. I'm the one paying the GD cell phone bill, I should have the luxury of pretending I didn't get the message.
hey, its your life, just didnt realize the full context. i dont have friends who expect an answer within 2 minutes of the text nor ex flings i need to avoid, so i guess i cant appreciate the issue from your perspective.

i like BBM and like the D/R function. I tell you what, I know some people on my list arent big BBM fans so I call them instead. Would you prefer those people you avoid were to call you instead?
