    2 people, 0 vegetarians, 4 o'clock

    The answer is summed for brevity

    I feel like whenever someone posts a reasonably relatable marriage meme on Lemmy, all the terminally single people show up to demonstrate exactly why no one will love them.

    My take is that his single answer applies to them all, thusly:

    6 people are coming 6 of them are vegetarian 6 is when they are coming.

    He was conserving bandwidth.

    Sounds like his gathering, arranged by him, with his friends.

    He can prep it.

    It's fine, we'll get to the bottom of this in at least 14 more texts.

    she said "couple of questions" but she asked 3. So the last one doesn't count. Also, she married him, pretty sure this isn't a new trait of him

    Rookie mistake. Always ask questions one by one

    If you ask multiple questions in one phrase my brain can't handle it sorry

    Honest question, if I have to ask for 3 pieces of information, would it help if I sent it in 3 messages?

    Message 1: how many people are coming to dinner?

    Message 2: are any vegetarian?

    Message 3: what time are they arriving?

    Personally I would prefer the 1 message with 3 questions vs the 3 messages with 1 question each(many messages in short time make me think something is wrong and urgent), what's your preference?

    It's a lot easier with separate messages. The visual separation helps a lot.

    Interesting. Thanks for the quick response.

    Really the only thing that really annoys me over text is yes/no to not yes/no questions.

    Me: I've had a long day so was going to just pick up dinner on way home, do you want pizza or burgers?

    Partner: yes

    Nah for me 1 message is where it's at, I was just joking. I like it when people send over one message with everything they need to tell or ask so I can respond without going into a back and forward, ESPECIALLY if I'm busy with work but not necessarily.

    I also ask multiple things in one message but people never ever take the time to respond to all of them... Fucking ever, it pisses me off lol, because I put effort into writing a coherent message then they just discard it most of the time :-/

    The solution is that there is 6 vegetarians but there is greater than 6 people.
