Start getting crankier with technology...
New church group has a group text. It's like dealing with people who get an email at work and they hit "respond all" and some guy in another state is telling you something you don't need or particularly want to read but he sends it to all the employees, be it 5 guys or 5,000 guys.
For myself, if I get a group text, I'm only replying to the originator of the group text because I most likely have their contact info in my phone.
These group texts get ridiculous IMO and I ask to be removed from the texts.
The pastor asks everyone if we'd be ok dealing with a App. I'm fine with that as this way my wife can deal with it and let me know what we're doing because I'm going to ask her anyways so I DON'T download the app.
Apparently unbeknownst to me, if you don't download the app, you will STILL get texts. My phone is "blowing up" with texts all day yesterday on a bunch of people trying to figure out when people can volunteer time, this while I'm had 2 meetings and a lunch meeting yesterday.
I explained to my wife that my phone is generally for family and work. I live off my phone for work and last thing I want is 20 yahoos on a group text talking to the originator of the group text telling them things I have absolutely no interests in and basically what I figure is stupid trivial stuff.
So, I ask to be removed from this "chat group" again yesterday. Wife is mad because I sent it to EVERYONE in the group chat. I honestly don't care. Wife asks me how the pastor is to communicate with everyone. I just tell her that you tell people the time and day you need them and if they can make it, they make it and if they can't, they can't.
I forget exactly how people communicated with each other before cell phones LOL
