I can’t help it though I get impatient!! That’s what caused this argument between me and this woman yesterday…her taking days to respond to my text messages and sometimes not even bothering to respond at all!!!

So you write back to everyone that posts adverts through your door with whether you are interested or not Bobby or do you just put them in the bin as unappreciated distractions to your day?
If it's in the bin then that's how I take unscheduled messages and lots of people are like me in that regard.
I view it as harassment and give no value to it unless it is an actual emergency

Yes but these are not from people that I know…friends of mine!!
Are you saying that I am not allowed to message my friends and ask them how they are getting along?!!

You are allowed to do whatever you want within the confines of the law Bobby
As can your friends

But you are saying that messaging friends just to ask them how they are is harassment! I don’t want to harass people! Plus some friends live far away and I’m not on Facebook so text messaging is the only way I get to talk to them.

I talk to people all over the world Bobby in different time zones and on different platforms and so I appreciate how awkward it can get to have a loose friendly catch-up some days let alone something important that needs specific attention.
Let's say you are pals with Mel Gibson. You met him when he was doing that Aardman Animation Studios Chicken Run movie when he was researching the North of England and trying to figure out how Rocky would act on Tweedy's Chicken Farm. You're a young tike and he's a good guy. You swap numbers and every year he send you a Christmas card in December and a birthday card in January. It's a good casual friendship but he has fond memories of that part of England and you were an important part of that. He gave you guidance on how to approach storytelling and how to appreciate cinema in a new and different way from how you were doing it before. Bobby and Mel, everybody remembers them fondly
Anywho's you know he is busy flying around the world shouting at Jews for killing Jesus and making movies. You understand his time is precious and that he
really
enjoys speaking with you but it's very rarely convenient for him to do so and so you both make the most of it when you get the chance. Well, there you are wondering what he thought of Wallace and Gromit over the Christmas period and whether he enjoyed Doctor Who or Ian Beale's Arthur Fowler mental breakdown, and how all of that compares with Corrie and what it was like back when he was in the area. And so you pick up the phone and message him. Nothing wrong with that, is there Bobby?
Well you sit and await his reply. A little miffed as you really wanted to talk about that Yorkshire/Lancashire divide on the train bridge in Murder Most Fowl as you know he's laugh his head off at that one. Oh Mel! You big silly eejit! Well, as you sit and await his reply you put on the telly. Fires in LA! Oh noes!! The camera crew are showing all the Palisades burning down and none of the firehoses are working on the very few fire trucks they have out there.
All of a sudden the camera quick cut pans to Mel darting out of the burning bush towards a house which is really on fire. We can hear an "Owooooooo!" coming from the upper story and then we see Murtaugh, Mel's Australian Heeler and best friend is stuck in the top window of a lovely mansion which looks like it's going to fall apart at any moment. "Roger!" shouts Mel as he vaults across the Greek columns separating his garden from the main road. The camera follows him as he darts through the middle of the garden leaping across his little dainty fountain and makes it to the front door. The cailing caves in at this point and Mel nimbly darts to the side and avoids being crushed by burning beams of timber. He looks up. "Owoooooooo!" goes Murtaugh the dog. Mel quickly analyses the situation and tries to make sense of a way to climb the ivy and get his dog Roger out.
Suddenly his phone goes off. It's you, Bobby. The 5G towers being burned down meant that the message had to be rerouted and so he didn't get the message immediately as you thought he had. There he is, house in a tormented nightmare of a hellish situation with his best friend Roger Murtaugh the heeler dog from Australia mere metres from him and this tiny distraction. This tiny pause in his movements allows for fate to take hold and suddenly the house explodes and Mel is pushed back with such force that he lands inside the aforementioned fountain soaked.
The pity, despair and rage come flooding immediately to his temples and neck veins as he sits upright and screams out into the night "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". He doubles over in a furled spasm and starts weeping uncontrollably. Everything is gone there's only him, this damn fire all around and his eternal loneliness to savour. He folds and gives himself to eternity to forever be forgotten along with the rest of the universe.
And then, a bathtub crashes down from the sky and there, inside, is Murtaugh - alive and well. "Ruff!" says Roger the dog and Mel looks up and says "I thought I'd lost ya boy!" as an Indiana Jones hat rolls by his feet in the glaring roasted winds.
Mel and Roger make their way to the firetrucks to find a new home for themselves. " Remember Alfred?" asks Mel, "Ruff!" says Roger and they go off together to get ice-cream.
And that's why he didn't get back to you Bobby. Imagine something like that every time somebody doesn't reply immediately
Only this time you saw it on your TV and so you know it to be true.
That's how I approach people sending me unsolicited messages

That was a nice story. A bit heartbreaking but it had a happy ending.
Anyway I just get annoyed when they take days to reply to a simple question and yet I know for a fact that they’ve been sat at home for days doing nothing! Especially when they’ve been having their arms draped across a man instead of getting back to ME!!!
Anyway that’s between me and her…

I always like to have my stories have happy endings Bobby. There's enough doom and gloom in this world as it is and we don't need anymore of it
I'm sure things will work out fine between you and this mysterious lady
