Why do we post on a forum? This is pretty much all frivolous squabbling anyway.
Why do we talk to our friends. Most likely the conversations we have with them will be moot 5 years down the line.
Why do we continue to live. It seems like a complete waste of energy. In the cosmic scheme of things we're expendable.
The simple, and only reasonable explanation I can think of to any of these questions is because we want to. It makes us feel better to enter a clean room. It occupies our mind when we create a Lego fort. Text messaging also serves a variety of purpose. For instance, you may not feel like having a personal conversation. Text-messaging is a lot more impersonal than talking to a friend. We do all of these because we prefer to do so. We decide what we want to do. We assign the purpose in our life. That's all there is to it. Those two basic premises must be set before we can even attempt to derive any rationality behind our actions.
And we pass on these seemingly pointless habits to our kids because we feel that it will help them cope as it did for us. Perhaps it is a flawed logic. But I am certain that that is why we do it.
I rarely make my bed, but I much prefer texting over phoning, and I used to have hours of fun with my lego set, just building things up and knocking them down.
I also like to pack a trolley in squares when I'm at the supermarket... just for it all to be unpacked willy-nilly when we get to the till.
Which is why you buy those free text packages which mean that you can send multi-page texts without having to worry about cost or cutting it all down to txtspk to fit it onto one page.
Texts come in handy at times. Like when you need something back from your ex but don't want to hear their dumb voice, or see them. Simply tell them to drop your shit off somewhere (preferably not the dump), and fuck off!

Nice ^
I recently joined the texting bandwagon. As most of the posters here have implied, it's much less intrusive than a phone call, and doesn't imply the same sense of urgency, at least as far as I'm concerned. Also, it makes it easier to review a conversation.

Well, you can text while in class or at work (in certain workplace environments) without drawing attention to yourself like you would if you were talking.
Another vain and impratical thing - when I'm playing cards, I set up my hand in number order, and fan them out at equal distances apart... only to have to redo it when I take a card out or pick a card up.

I really dont think its all that bad. By keeping cards together in number order, you can tell if you have pairs or straights. Its more pratical then impractical.
