How fast should you text back?

In this episode of That Is Not How You Do It, Ram and Anna explore the unspoken rules of texting — and why response time can feel so personal.

Some people reply instantly. Others take hours — or even days.

But what does that actually mean?

We discuss:

• fast texters vs slow texters

• the psychology behind response timing

• why read receipts cause anxiety

• and how texting has changed modern communication.

Because sometimes the difference between rude and normal… is just how long someone takes to reply.

But this debate goes deeper than just dirt.

We explore:

• cultural norms around shoes indoors

• hygiene vs convenience

• the awkward moment when you walk into someone else’s home

• and why the way we treat our floors can reveal how we view our living space.

Because sometimes the difference between “normal” and “insane”… is just how someone was raised.
