Who's Texting us?


If evaluated, I'm sure I'd be diagnosed with having an unhealthy obsession with my phone. From the excessive usage of various social media platforms, to the over capacity of group chats, to plain ol' face-timing and texting people 24/7...

I live with my phone, eat with it, sleep with it, commute with it, work with it... I'm basically in a partnership with it.

Therefore someone using my phone is a very touchy situation, giving someone my pass-code is a milestone...
If I've given it to you before, chances are I changed it soon after

Not that I have an excessive amount of top secret information, or a large array of things I'm hiding... it's simply that if my phone could talk, it will basically reveal all the secrets of my soul...

so yes, maybe I do have an excessive amount of top secret information, or possibly a large array of things I'm hiding... BUT, that's my prerogative.  The thought of someone reading all my emails, all my text messages, all my notes, seeing all my pictures, viewing my online search history... makes me a little uncomfortable.

Therefore... the thought of going through someones phone isn't really on the top of things I do... YES I have a creep eye problem AKA I will ALWAYS look over to your phone while you're texting to see "who's texting us", NO matter what type of relationship we have (meaning even if you're a stranger on the train, I'm looking)...

But the reality is, no matter whose phone you look through...you're going to find something that might bother you, even if it's just people commenting about you in a group chat...
and other times, you're REALLY going to see things you won't like,
like someone texting someone they told you they weren't texting anymore ( I dare you to go check...jk jk). The reality of it is, we all have a personal relationship with our phones... we're not necessarily hiding anything, but maybe the way we talk to someone won't be fully understood (okay, or maybe you shouldn't be texting that person that way...)

Someone giving you their passcode is a BIG DEAL these days, like one step closer to marriage proposal. I know my phone etiquette can cater to insecurities, because I won't share, even if I'm just taking buzzfeed surveys...

all in all, Don't look for shit you don't really want to find... there will always be something that's going to bother you no matter how innocent...

so next time you ask Who's texting us? Remember Jose Rodriguez might be Janet Sanchez so asking won't change shit...

signs the girl that just made you want to look through someones phone...
