Ugh

UGH

a teaching colleague who I know but not well (who I don’t like - he comes off as a detached mansplainer) messaged me in social media: “call me when you get a chance” because he has a “poetry venue idea” for me

ugh

UGH

Yes, this could be helpful info, but why is it being held hostage in exchange for an unnecessary social interaction, on the PHONE no less???

“Hey sean, venue x might be a good spot for poetry. Lmk if you want details” is fine. But this?

UUUUGH

That drives me crazy too. I always thought it was a computer geek thing.

Just give me the information and move on.

I have the same peeve with news "teasers". Give me the basic information first as the "teaser". Feel free to embellish in the main story.

@darrellpf
I agree. I hate news teasers. I do social media for a eco org, and I never do teasers, I put very basic facts, and a link. A fascinating fact, and a link. I hate having to click a link to find out wtf they meant in the first place.
