100% the very last paragraph. Why do I have to wait for 78 messages to trickle through for one thought?
To add to that, starting with "hi" and waiting for a reply is a great way to not get a reply from me.
Well guess what
I’m pregnant…
So...
Hi
It depends.
My coworkers write me "hi, do you have 5 min?" without telling me what it is because they know I would drop what I'm doing and directly focus on the new task. (It's how I am, and they know how to deal with it). With a little hi... they give me the option to say "sure, lets talk in 10 min" and finish what I'm doing.
But even "hi do you have 5 minutes" is more than I get from one team. I get "hi" and then they wait for my reply before anything else. If I don't reply right away, nothing, silence.
I get that, but counterpoint is that you don't have to react and reply to each message IMMEDIATELY. The time stamps show that the messages all were within 3 minutes of the start. If this even happened at all.
Maybe it's because I'm old, but text messages don't require an immediate reply. Take a breath and be patient.
Even if I wait, I still have to listen to multiple notifications instead of just 1. Anyone who does this gets left on read for at least an hour from me (often times I just forget entirely).

Why is his wife reading his texts from his employees? Unless it's a family owned business that doesn't seem too professional.
Because it's obviously fake
Obviously, I'm just questioning the logic of the scenario.
Boss's phone (could be a personal phone) is on living room table, screen lights up from the message, wife sees it, done.
There were replies between the messages so the notifications wouldn't show messages that were already considered read. Just seemed scripted. Unless the wife was the one who sent the first 2 replies.
Not worth getting hung up on authenticity though since there will never be a way to prove if it's wrong or real. I just try to appreciate the humor and assume it was faked either way.
It's pretty normal for people in a workplace to exchange numbers and text and no, that doesn't violate any laws if people choose voluntarily to communicate via text. My wife sees my texts on my personal phone sometimes. No need to go onto why as it doesn't matter. The big difference is that my wife is not so insecure to jump to conclusions if I get a weird text. In fact, my wife would probably joke about it. So that's the real issue... The guy has a cripplingly insecure wife. Also, I'm sorry if you've never had a good relationship with your boss. It's almost always the boss' fault, but it should be normal to be able to talk to your boss easily like a good acquaintance.
sharing confidentential employee info with 3rd parties is also a privacy violation.
Why can't his wife read past the first two messages? Does she have some kind of affliction?
She’s probably one of those rare people who loves to get upset and hates to get corrected
rare? shit I should go buy a lottery ticket
The wife might have only seen the first two messages come in.
The wife might need to assess a situation before reacting
Boy I'm sure glad there was a bright yellow circle on this meme highlighting the key aspect of the conversation that I missed have otherwise missed.
Is there a useless red circle community here?
The better question is why are you texting your boss to say this? Even if your work is in close relation to what your boss does and/or your his assistant or something, texting about maternity leave isn't exactly the most appropriate.
I'm close with my boss and I text her stuff I'm comfortable telling her but not HR.
She also texted me when she found a job that I was super qualified for at another company that pays 50% more than I make now. If she'd done that over company email she could have gotten in trouble.
Sometimes taking things off the record is good if you have a good relationship with your boss.
NOT WHEN YOU JEOPARDIZE HIS MARRIAGE
So this community is basically any image with text on it?
Password protect ya phones y'all and don't share em.
If you need to password protect your phone, get out of the relationship.
Unless you have kids. My kid bought a $200 Mickey Mouse Amazon Fire after she swiped my phone last year. Since then passwords on all devices.
Exactly. Get out of that relationship.
It's not my family i am worried about getting into my phone
I would but the government won't let me break up with it.
So there is no privacy in your relationships? If you can’t trust, get out of the relationship.
Wife doesn’t trust you? Just lock your phone. Problem solved.
Fake
I at least appreciate the ellipses. When I text I try to keep within the 160 characters or 313 characters limit. So I use ... to indicate I haven't finished my thought or prepend a ... to show that it is a continuation of my previous message.
I just use it … to replace all punctuation … I’m a very smart person … not crazy or anything … You can trust my mind …
I never thought this would work? But it seems to add some kind of? Flare? Interesting?
