old people really need to learn how to text accurately to the mood they’re trying to represent like my boss texted me wondering when my semester is over so she can start scheduling me more hours and i was like my finals are done the 15th! And she texts back “Yay for you….” how the fuck am i supposed to interpret that besides passive aggressive

Someone needs to do a linguistic study on people over 50 and how they use the ellipsis. It’s FASCINATING. I never know the mood they’re trying to convey.

My AUNT OH MY GOD. She’s also that one childless, loaded aunt but a bit of a kook (the ‘anti-vaxxers/pro-disease idiots are onto something, your penicillin for your bad gum infection is secretly making you sick and instant noodles is literally plastic’ kind) so 1) it pays to be on her good side and 2) there is actually a solid chance she’s being passive-aggressive about some lifestyle choice of yours. That woman will live to 150, I swear, but the way she texts sometimes makes my blood pressure hit 150/100.
