Someone interrupting.

Also not returning a phone call is worse than text or email as it is more personal.

For me, this one isn't even close. Someone interrupting. It's a lack of respect and shows the person isn't listening to everything before feeling the need to interject.

4.) Someone who assumes you have a phone stapled to your head and demand immediate attention.

Assuming a voicemail was left? Sometimes I don't call someone back if they didn't leave a voicemail.

The only time I will call someone back without a voicemail message is if it's my family. But they always leave a message even when they don't have to or it's unnecessary, looking at you, Mom.

I'd say interrupting. I'm guilty of it quite a bit and always have to catch myself and say "sorry I didn't let you finish"

One thing I find increasingly annoying is invitations that are issued through Facebook only. My nieces do this all the time even though they know several of their uncles and grandparents don't have Facebook. They just assume someone will inform the rest of the relatives.

For 1 and 2 what to you consider not returning a text? When some one ask a question when no return, or with someone receives a text without sending back "ok"?

When people respond to emails/texts with:

1. Thank you
2. Ok
3. You're welcome
