Does anyone else text someone else in your own home if they are in another room? Am I just too lazy to go talk to them? Are you like me?

This kinda behavior irritates the hell outta me, but I've been told that's unreasonable for larger homes, more sensible for smaller homes.

I think if it would take you less than sixty seconds to walk to me and talk to me, you should just do it.

My partner works from home sometimes so I'll text him if I think he might be in a meeting.

I often send people pictures or articles on whatsapp while I'm talking to them, it's just easier than going over to show them my phone. I definitely text if someone is out of speaking distance if it's not urgent, stuff like "do you want X for dinner?", that way they can get to it when it's convenient.

I have Philips hue lights throughout the house. My son is green, my daughter is purple and red is both. Sometimes I'm lazy and just turn the lights on and off instead of changing the color.

When my brother and I lived together, we definitely texted each other, either via text or Discord. When we only lived in a 2bdr apartment. If we were in each of our rooms, with the doors open, we could easily just talk really loudly if we wanted to. But we typically had headsets on.

If I'm visiting my family, if there's something I want to show them on the computer, I'll often just drop it into our family Discord. Easier that way.
