Sorry you miss perfect...
Jk :P I use it when I try to make dramatic micro silence.
I hate when you see somebody is online and they don't respond to your message. Like, can't you just say you are busy?11|00|0 - stuntbrain5 Xper mho 7%
Seeing "Hey" followed by absolutely nothing, it's completely asinine and tells me that you couldn't be bothered to think of something useful to say. It would be better get a text that says "I want to talk to you, but couldn't come up with anything" at least give me something to work with.

when they say words that could easily just be written and sound normal like
brb= Be right back
wyd= what you doing?

Emojis.. It just makes you look like a feminine loser. I accept when woman use it but when men use it it’s completely different

When they reply with only one word, it pisses me off, like how the fuck am I supposed to reply to keep the convo going or know what to say?
Or if I'm the one that always message them first, and they take hours to reply...11|00|0- KurdishPower3 Xper

Exclamation points after almost every sentence. Like really, you don't have to be yelling all the time or stop acting so enthused. Too much enthusiasm makes me want to vomit.

I still take a while to text back and people get upset if its not an instant reply. I just got my first smartphone a few months ago.

For me it's when someone gives a closing response in the middle of a conversation. No feedback or anything. Just "cool".

Lack of punctuation, acronyms, little effort with grammar and laconic responses.

Replying with only one letter or one word. It only annoys me if it's consistent though
Or if someone messages" hi "and adds nothing else. I ignore " hi's "
Also, if they always just respond to what I've said , and don't have anything to say themselves. It becomes boring21|10|0- Show AllShow Less

Honestly I hate that too. I had a guy who did that after EVERY sentence and I called him out letting him know that if he uses an ellipsis after every sentence he must sound like a retard, because he's literally constantly pausing.

It's the sort of talking that's thought of as cute by people in a relationship. (But is actually not cute at all)
Similar to 'baby talk'. You know, when one resorts to talking in a childish manner because we think children understand that?
Example : "The little baby woke up fwightened and fort what it dweamed was twoo."
___
"Mele babu ne kana kaya?"
Roughly means, "Did my wittle baby have dinner?"
___
"Awwww. Mele shona ko gussa Aya. I'm solly babu"
Means, "aww my wittle baby got angry? I'm sorry baby"
__
Basically, he's just trying to annoy me.

I get agitated when people use like,
“K”
“Lol”
“Brb”
To me if you’re only replying with short words then you must not be interested in texting or communicating with me so just don’t reply back lol11|00|0 - desiree5125 Xper mho 9%
When they text me something so dry like "oh cool" "😂😂" "oh okay" "that's nice/good." I usually leave these kinds of messages on read and then the person on the other end will hit me with a dumb question like "why did you leave me on read?" I be like "cuz you was being dry." And it goes on from there

I don't like texting, but when I do, and someone responds with "k", they're done. No more texts from me

I've been known to use ellipses, haha. But, I use them sparingly, and usually only for dramatic effect.
Honestly, it grinds my gears when people intentionally misuse language, or simply can't be bothered to learn the proper way to use it. I'm not talking about the occasional misspelled word or grammatical error; I'm talking about pure negligence. I think that written language is a beautiful thing, and I hate when people abuse it. I think the worst abuse comes in the form of text abbreviations.
I don't understand the purpose of them. It's actually been empirically demonstrated that they're not overly time-efficient--cutting down on a few characters per word saves you approximately 0.4 seconds per text. But, at what cost? At the cost of looking wonky, that's what.
Plus, it communicates to me that texting me is so tedious that you feel it's worthwhile to save as much time as possible.11|01|0 - JJxoxo_4 Xper mho 9%
