we've all said this to someone, right?

its to make sure the person got home safely, right?

right.

i find myself saying it disingenuously and im not sure what to do about it.

on one hand, it's a good thing to say to someone (a woman of course) 'hey, i want to make sure you're safe and sound - give me a call when you reach your destination'

but on the other hand, if they dont call 'which is highly likely' -

... what the fuck am i gonna do?

drive and investigate?

no.

call the police?

no?

worry myself to death?

no

ima take my ass to sleep.

why aint i just say 'good night?', as they drove off?

who knows.

what's your plan when you don't get that call back?

oh ok, good bc i was just about to call you. lol

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

the fuck you need to call me when you driving 10 minutes?

do these people live in the hoodest of hoods?

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

The person you said it to is supposed to "think" you would "go all out" IF you didn't get the call.


Some people really WANT certain benefits, you know?

you should think about texting me if I got home...
or call

you mean like...

you home yet?

no.

Ok, i'll check again in 5 mins.

it shows up for me that you care
I'm still on your mind...

as soon as he text you will say "ugh, why dudes always texting"

why the back and forth and me guessing when you get home?

ain't nobody say all that.
of course if he said that I would

I'm saying, you ain't gotta say it
we've said our goodbyes when I left
now, it would be lovely if he call/text to see if I made it...

this quirk of hers falls right in line with the rest of her zaniness.

*see yesterdays GD

Nigga texting you ten minutes after you left his crib asking if you home yet.

It's only 9pm and shit, he thinking you bout to go on your REAL date. On some "she better not be at the movies"

Timing shit, like the Jungle Book is under 2 hours, so if she hit me back after that time I know she went to see that shit with Ray-Ray.

'don't tell me what to do'

worry about yourself!

but on late nights i've definitely fallen asleep only to wake up to that "i made it home safe, have a goodnight" text...so clearly i wasn't trying to help if i went and passed out before i even got that confirmation lol.

i think it's a nice gesture though. i don't only do it to girls either. if one of my boys or one of my brothers has a long drive/walk home after a late night out i've occasionally done the same.

a guy, who i've known and lightweight have dealt with for a few years, was walking my girlfriend and i to our cars.

she gets to her car, turns to me and says, 'text me when you get home.'

cool. will do.

once we got to my car he opened the door and said, 'text me when you get home.'

in all the time we've been dealing with one another, he has NEVER asked me to do that.

he did it because she said it first.

a nicety

i wanted so badly to say something smart about it but i bit my tongue and instead text him when i got home.

he didn't reply back.

she did.

lol.

how often do you resist that urge?

but it is a REAL struggle. he'd probably say that i don't tend to keep enough to myself but i really do try.

in this particular situation, why cause conflict when you can just say 'ok i will' and keep it moving?

if i notice something, and i think it's peculiar - im very likely to bring it up.

what was your impression of him in that moment?

did you think he was a get-wit?

did you think he learned a new behavior that he will use from here on out?

what did you think of his lack of reply?

i thought the lack of reply was right on par with the disingenuity behind the initial request

i doubt he'll ask me, or anyone else, to call once home ever again 'unprovoked'

I hate judging strangers, I'd like his depiction a bit more well rounded.

...

full disclosure - I really want to know how well y'all knew each other and why did you let such a oaf get in your pants.

... but I typed the first thing instead.

for my last birthday, he planned a surprise birthday dinner for me and gifted me with a puppy

i'd been saying i wanted a puppy for a while but never made the move to get one

she brings me so much joy every single day

so by default, so does he? that may be pushing it but...

got anything else?

does his name begin with a k?

we like k names.

saw the photo.

very happy dog you have.

payback.

Plus her night-sight aint all that.

home meaning actually inside your house. sometimes i forget, or my friends forget and we usually send the "did you make it yet?" text and if they don't answer, then we call. Depending on the person I might just text in the morning.

Half of the people who say this probably aren't expecting you to actually call or text when you get home.

It's like saying "how's it going" when you actually just mean "hello". You don't actually need to hear how it's going.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

one of my tallest wishes is for every person to mean what they say.

and of course, say what they mean.

If it's any consolation, someone asking you to text when you get home shows that they really do care. They're expressing love or concern.

But they'll probably be asleep when you send that text.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

it also reminded me that i have a friend who does this (texts when she's home) without me even asking her to.

i think that's cool of her.

but if she aint send me the text, i don't think id worry.

...

but what's her motivation?

can you glean that?

is she saying, 'i just want one last word with you?'

...

i know, this may be too far in the weeds. feel free to tap out.

On my way home he texted me saying "let me know when you get home, unless you don't wanna see me again"

:/

did you text when you got home?
