That Friend Who Doesn’t Text You Back When It’s Time Sensitive

Almost everybody has that one friend that won’t text them back in a timely manner. And if you don’t then it’s probably you.
What gives? It’s not that difficult to text someone back (unless you got caught up in an emergency of course). It takes 45-60 seconds, if that. Maybe a little less than 2 minutes if it’s a long message. Don’t think that it’s helpful to respond to the message in a careless manner a day or two later either.
Me: “Hey man. BeerFest is tomorrow. You in?”
You: [no response]
Two days later…
You: “nah i cant im busy”
Me: “…can’t do what…?”
So, next time, be a pal and respond to that text message! Just remember this easy mnemonic: “Can’t go? Say so!”
