The texting thing I especially hate because I'm a person who queues tasks as a coping mechanism to be able to get things done. Being angry because I can't or won't reply when we aren't face to face hurts a lot because neither one of us has really insulted the other, but now I'm in a position to be defensive, based on your outside expectations.

Same with email, phone, irc, etc. If no one is hurt or needs immediate help I need to queue you with my other tasks or I wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
