People who do not have the common courtesy to respond to an e-mail or a text message I have sent them

It totally pisses me off when I send someone an e-mail and ask them a direct question, or tell them something that requires a response from them and they do not even acknowledge that they have received the e-mail.  Same goes for a text message. 
Where has everyones manners gone?

I know we're now a nation of instant gratification, but sometimes we have to wait.

I personally check my mail once or twice a day, I return texts messages when I can spare a minute.

Is it possible that maybe you didn't get a reponse because they were driving? Maybe taking a dump? Or *gasp* they happened to be away from the computer?

I'm starting to use the net less and less, I value my privacy and being online kind of negates that privacy. I think I'm suffering from what a lot of people are suffering from, electronic fatigue.  I often leave me cell phone home, I ignore text messages and email, and could careless about posting on Facebook daily. Sorry but sometimes I'd just like a little time to myself, you're going to have to wait till I feel like calling back.

I've gotta say, I'm with

I've gotta say, I'm with rkine01 on this one. I try to be responsive when people contact me, but sometimes it's just too much. There's only so much time in the day.

I mean really.

How do people find the time to do facebook myspace and all that other stuff. Just not enough time in the day. I used to post on this one political site but it got to be to much so just quit.
