I don’t mean to be paternalistic, but I worry it comes across that way.
I often get text alerts that my friend or family member “liked” my previous text message, along with the entire message repeated back to me. On group text threads, this can go on for a while, as I get everyone’s messages repeated multiple times with each “like.”
I did some research online and learned that certain types of phones have a fun feature that allows users to acknowledge texts by adding a thumbs-up or a heart. How nice. But for the rest of us who don’t have this feature, it isI realize that part of the burden lies with the rest of us to gently inform our friends and family that this feature doesn’t translate , but would you be willing to help get the word out? People should reconsider before they hit “like” on every text.Sure.
And then Miss Manners suggests you turn off your phone — if you want to avoid seeing your message countlessly liked and repeated.My recently married son and daughter-in-law received some antique drinking glasses from my sister as a wedding gift, which they are not fond of. They wonder if it would be OK to give them to me or to someone else.
I am not sure what to do, because it might hurt my sister’s feelings if she sees that I now have them. Can you tell us what to do?Regifting only works if one does not get caught. Consider the candidates for it with this in mind, and Miss Manners will sign off on it.
