1. You completely forget people text you, until they send you the exact same text message again.

Maybe I was busy doing homework or at work... Or maybe Friends was just so good and I forgot.

2. You finally text someone back a few hours later (four, plus) or even a few days later and they are completely confused.

I saw it, I read it, just be glad you even got a reply at all.

3. People start constantly calling you to ask simple questions, like if you've eaten lunch, or if you are going to that mixer.

Yes I'm hungry and no that mixer always sucks, but props to you for getting me.

4. People send you a ridiculous amount of text messages at once to ensure you will reply.

dude, after text #12 you've just about pissed me off and I probably won't reply at all- out of choice.

5. People ask, "why didn't you text me back?"

Either, it instantly clicks in your head and you read it but never replied and you feel like crap, or you say you never even got the text, only to go back and realize you never even opened it. Or maybe you acknowledged it, typed up the best reply of your life, only to never even hit the damn send button.

6. You say: "text me" or "I'll text you" and having people literally laugh in your face.

7. You put your phone on silent and actually try to study for a minute (or sleep for 30).

It seems like all hell breaks loose and everyone needs you right then -- and they all end up hating you.

8. The biggest sign, my friend: people say they hate texting you and that you truly are the worst texter in the world.
