Everyone knows that our generation constantly has their phone's in their hands. We can't seem to rationalize why someone would not text back. Maybe they have a life outside staring at their phone screen for hours on end? I don't know, but these are some great responses.
1. I am at work. Some of us may have a job that requires you to work, and not stare at a phone screen every day, so sometimes I do have obligations
2. I forgot. Sometimes I just open a text message, and respond in my head. I'll usually text you like two days later and apologize, and say I thought I responded.
3. I'm napping. I clearly am in the middle of a much-needed nap and I can't pick up my phone while I am sleeping.
4. I just don't feel like talking. Yes I am blatantly ignoring you, but it's not because I don't like you it's because I just don't feel like talking.
5. I want my personal space. Nowadays you can't have a minute to yourself with having a cell phone, so I'll take a few and ignore my phone.
6. I don't like you. I just don't like you in any way, therefore, why would I waste any of my unlimited texts?
7. I left my phone at home. Yes that is so rare, but it happened, and, therefore, I don't have my phone to text you back.
8. I have a life outside of my phone. Some people can sit on their phones every second of the day, but sometimes I like to leave my phone alone.
9. It's broken. What a poor excuse, but I dropped my phone in the toilet so, "HMU on Facebook" cause I am going to be on my laptop.
10. You said something stupid. That definitely calls for no response. You probably made me facepalm and now I don't want to look at my phone, thanks.
11. You texted me about my ex. Wow thanks for keeping me updated on his life, on which I really don't care, so you're not getting a response.
12. I'm being spiteful. You ignored me, so I am ignoring you. Maybe this will teach you a lesson.
13. I don't want to be in this group message. Thank god for the update where I can take myself out because I don't care that Jessica and Jim are meeting for coffee in 15 minutes outside of Starbucks.
14. I'm studying. I can't focus with my phone constantly ringing about something not as important as keeping my grades up, "People are temporary, GPA is forever."
15. You're annoying. That's how I respond in my head, therefore, I just won't text you back.
16. I'm working out. I can't text back when I am working on my fitness.
