This is why you should NEVER play phone games with me.

I’m pretty sure it would look the same in Hanging with Friends, Words with Friends, Scramble with Friends, and Chess with Friends.

And to all my friends to whom I have been such a slacker…

And to all my friends to whom I have let our games expire…

And to all my friends that want to delete me from their lives permanently because I’ve left you hanging for so long…

Don’t give up on me. I’ll take my turn eventually.

PS. Anybody else have a habit of not taking your turn for LONG periods of time? Anybody get annoyed at people like me?

I've started only playing Draw something with a couple people, so all the others are just left hanging...

LOL, looks like the phone messages of someone that i've known for 9 years, and it's never happend. I am rereading "He's Just Not That Into You", I am going to beat the book over my head. At this point I no longer take him serious in any event, at anytime or situation.

If someone doesn't take their turn after a reasonable amount of time I usually delete their game. It doesn't annoy me or anything, like I don't think they are terrible people, I just don't like my apps cluttered with unplayable games. And I don't really play a lot of them, draw something is one of the few I actually do play. I tried Words but it got super boring super fast. And I'm starting to feel that way about Draw too..

That's weird, because I swear every dating profile I read by a women says, "no games". Are you the reason for this entry in their dating profile? :-)

This is exactly what I do too, but it's not intentional xD

My friends have stopped requesting to play games with me...they gave up on me. And I'm O.K. with that! :)

Exactly why I don't play games. I have one or two Words with Friends games with actual close friends that I see often. But other than those few...who has time for that? Your friends should understand that single parenting is a full time job! I'm a single momma who homeschools and works from home.....if my friends are offended that I refused a "game request" , then they obviously have no idea what my real life is like. I wouldn't apologize....I would take it as a personal message that there are more important things in your life....then just politely bow out of the game requests. Life's too short!! :)

That's what mine looks like too. Everyday I get a few so and so nudged you notifications... ignore!

What happened to you? You used to be real and filled with raw emotion and you talked a lot more about your son and didn't seem to care much about being a celebrity. You're a gifted writer. Put it to use the right way.

I don't get the appeal of those games at all. Says more about me than anything else.

The only reason I ever care about someone wating too long to take a turn is that words with friends won't let you start any new games if you have 20 games going. It really isn't worth getting upset about though. If you have friends getting tense about how long you take they may be a bit OCD.

I gave up on these games cause I always lose because my time expires on my turn.
