- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment.

Ehhh I don't think this is too farfetched. Not all young people talk like this but some sure do. The no disrespect is kinda odd though, but may just be referring to him asking you a question out of the blue.
But yeah I wouldn't respond just on the basis of I hate people asking if they can ask me a question but not asking the question. Like well you already asked me one question and now I need to wait to hear the second one?
Yeah. It's not like you only get one message with X characters. They could have just got to the point. 😁
Seems more like the one of the wrong number sms spams. Those can actually be pretty fun to respond to for awhile. 🙃
Ohh. That would be a great thread to start here. Share your most amusing SMS phishing exchanges.😁
No disrespect but may I ask you some questions
What pisses me off about this is that if they believe that's rude, they're already being rude nt asking one. Like you literally just asked me a question. Just assssskkkkkkk ughhh. People can be exhausting.
"Do you have time to answer some questions?" is a very considerate thing to ask someone who may be busy. 🤨
If someone has a question, I can answer it immediately if they just ask me. If they say hi, ask me how I'm doing, or ask if they can ask me something, then it is going to take me longer to get them the information they need. Besides, there's never a setting where the answer to "can I ask you a question" is no, because they've given me no information about what type of question they want to ask. So to properly even answer that question I'd need to ask them more questions! So just ask the damn question. If I'm busy and can't answer I'll just say "I'm busy right now and will answer when I can" or direct them to someone else who I think can answer sooner.
Besides, I've never been asked "do you have time to be asked some questions" which is not what I said I have a problem with. It's specifically "can I ask you a question?"
