“Hello?”

“Hey”.

“Hey. What’s up?”

“Nothing.  So, tell me this, do you delete stuff?”

“What?”

“Do you regularly delete stuff?”

“Like what?”

“Things on your phone. Like emails or texts.”

“No, not really.  Why?”

“Exactly.  No one does.”

“Are you just trying to get confirmation on that?”

“No.  My point is that no one ever deletes things which brings me to my main gripe.  How annoying is it when people ask you to resend something to them?”

“Hadn’t really thought about it.  What do you mean?”

“Like when someone asks, ‘Will you resend me that text?’ or “Can you send me that email again?’” How annoying is that?”

“I don’t know.  Is that annoying?”

“Yes, very.  And, it’s lazy.  Like, the text is still in your phone.  Just search your texts.  Like if you asked me that, you’re basically saying, I’d rather not search for that text in my phone so I’d rather ask you to resend it.  Basically, it’s saying I don’t want to do something and instead I’m asking you to do something.”

“Huh.  You make a good point.”

“I know.  Look, I’ll make an exception if it’s your wife and it’s a text from weeks ago.  You have 6 million texts from your wife since then so it’s hard to find.  But, other than that, it’s lazy.”

“I guess I see your point.”

“How is there any question?  Like, think of those times at work when someone has asked you to resend them something?  We all use Outlook and we all know how it works.  It is very easy to search for emails from a particular person.  But, instead of doing that, someone would rather send you an email asking you to resend something.”

“Agreed.  My in-laws ask me to resend them the wifi password every time they are in my house.  And, it’s not like we text frequently.  Quite literally, the last text you have from me was from the last time you asked me to send you the wifi password.  Just search back through the last text you received from me.”

“See?  It’s an offensive assault on someone’s time.  All of those requests are just based on laziness.  Can you resend those dates that work for you?  What time is the game again? Can you shoot me that file again?  It’s an atrocious overreach.”

“I’m with you.  Yet again, you’ve brought to light a casual annoyance that I hadn’t even noticed before.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Should I be thanking you?”

“I think so.”

“I mean, I wasn’t bothered by this before, but now I will be since you pointed it out.  Seems I was better off before.”

“You’d rather remain blissfully ignorant?”

“Perhaps.”

“Well, unfortunately, that’s not a luxury I possess.”

“Good to know.”
