I'm putting it out there. I am super annoyed when people don't respond to text messages, emails, voicemails or other social networking communications. I mean, really? How hard is it to take 2 minutes to reply? Even to just say "Hey I am super busy... let me get back to you." I pride myself in my responding abilities. It's a respect thing for me. If you took the time to call me, leave me a message etc. I will also take the time to respond back to you in a timely fashion because I respect you. Yes, there are times when it is impossible not to reply immediately but to just straight up and ignore someone is just plain 'ol rude. Especially now a days when you know people have their phones attached to their hips. What's the excuse there? Of course everyone has the right not to answer the phone right when it rings or text immediately after receiving a message, however, it is polite to eventually acknowledge someones attempt to communicate with you. Don't ya think?
So there you have it. My beef for the week. Yep. If you are a bad responder.... guaranteed I have been irked by your nonresponsive-ness.
PS. This also includes Pet Peeve #267. People who don't rsvp to event invitations. Don't even get me started on that one.
I hear ya Amanda! That is just the ultimate disrespect is to be a no-show without a phone call. Ergh.
And Amy, you make me laugh. This was not directed at you... luckily this was posed before yesterday. :-) Phew!

I totally agree with you on this (sorry if I have ever done it to you). I hate when people don't respond or what has frustrated me lately is making plans and then not showing up or canceling at the last minute. Grrrr
