This Christmas, I got 6 texts wishing me a Merry Christmas. 3 of those were not in my phone, so I received Christmas "greetings" from someone so unimportant I either decided to delete their number, or never put it in my phone to begin with. So, the question is, what goes through these people's minds? Do they seriously select all? (For the record, Cat's phone does not have that option, and mine fools you into thinking you can select all, but then has an error sign saying max you can send to is 10). Are they going through the phone list thinking "Oh yea, haven't talked to Maxi in years, but I think I'll wish her a Merry Christmas." It's just ridiculous. I never get these mass texts from real friends, just some jerk offs that I don't have their number, or that I do still have their number but rarely talk to.
Another side effect that has come from these mass texts, is I'm overly paranoid that every text, unless it specifically says "Maxi" in it, is a mass text, so I don't reply. Heck, I don't want to be that fool that replies back to your "u out" text.
So, in summary, if you are guilty of that heinous crime of mass texting, just say NO! No one's impressed, no one thinks you care, no one wants to get all excited thinking someone texted them just to find out it's your fool ass, and more importantly, no one wants to reply just to find out they were played a fool when they invariably find out it was sent to all.
Mass texting due to emergencies, etc., are permitted, but only if coming from reliable source or in a case of a true emergency "d00dz, hit me @ crnr bar ths place is the shiznit" does not count as an emergency.
