TIFU by emailing my friend back about a party instead of texting

r/

hey! got your text, thanks for the invite 😄 i’m down to come by! texting back felt weird for some reason so figured i’d email you. also btw i prefer texting for stuff like this lol

my friend texted me like “hey we’re having a party saturday, come thru”

and for some reason i thought it made more sense to email back instead of just replying to the text

felt like one of those “don’t reply to this” type messages even tho it was literally just a text lol

they didn’t include their email so i had to dig through an old group doc to find it

i sent this email:

they texted me later like “why did you email me” and i was like “idk it felt right” 💀

TL;DR : made things akward with my friends by emailing them back after they sent a text

    Uh yeah that’s weird. A general rule of thumb is to reply in the same way that they initially contacted you. If someone emailed, reply. If they text, text back.

    That’s odd. Even for a Luddite who never uses technology much, it’s typically expected to reply to someone through the same channel they sent you the initial message with. Not sure how you got to “need to email response” but maybe your head was like event invite = formal = email? I don’t know, it was odd sure, but funny. Just laugh it off.

    Is this a bot trying to work out how humans work?

    I found this hilarious. The layers of “why” here are just artistically crafted. If I don’t end up with a friendship of this caliber at some point in life, I’ll know I made a wrong turn somewhere in my past. 😂
