I finally got a new phone yesterday (if you know me, please text me your number as I don’t have it) which is delightful after a phone-free week (I left my last one in a bookshop, oh woe). But as I clicked through the various features, I found myself surprised and amazed by one the pre-set text messaging templates:
‘I love you too.’
I am fascinated by the implication that there are people who, upon receiving a texted expression of love, can’t be bothered to make the effort with their thumbs to reciprocate the sentiment and thus rely on Nokia to supply them with the means to reply.
(If you are in that relationship, perhaps you need to mull over some issues.)
