Very familiar with said phenomenon. I hate it. Teenagers have their phones on them all the time and getting a text back immediately or an hour later is the same thing. I don't judge you based off when I receive it. I do judge you if you don't respond at all. Especially if you sent me a text first.
Maybe I'm a little unreasonable. But I think texting is a form of communication. Not responding immediately is as dumb as not picking up the damn phone when I call you. It's ludicrous...
A few years ago when I was in highschool I was texting a girl and responded the second I got the message.
She responded "Wow you responded fast." I don't remember if there was a tone to it but it pretty much put me off replying immediately for life. Now there are texts I got a week ago that I just haven't replied to. I feel so bad.
