Emoticons

Don’t you just love that period at the end of a flight when everyone is jostling to stand in the aisle?

This morning while standing and waiting I had full view of the smartphone of a forty something business drone in holiday mode.

He had received about ten texts in relation to the holiday that he and his wife were embarking on (from the texts I assume Melbourne-Sydney then Sydney-Canada).

All ten texts were encouraging and hopeful for the quality of the upcoming trip.

He answered every single one of them with anywhere between 4 and 10 emoticons. And nothing else.

Very odd, strangely efficient, and discouraging of further replies. I had to laugh.
