Dear Queenie,
Sometimes I will text a question to someone or leave a message on their voice mail and it will be hours or even a day or so before they get back to me.
Queenie, why are people so thoughtless?—Offended
Dear Offended,
If the person you call or text is at work or busy doing something they consider important or simply does not receive your message right away, it may be some time before they get back to you.
Why are you so thoughtless as to expect them to drop everything to reply to you immediately?
