    Honest question, if I have to ask for 3 pieces of information, would it help if I sent it in 3 messages?

    Message 1: how many people are coming to dinner?

    Message 2: are any vegetarian?

    Message 3: what time are they arriving?

    Personally I would prefer the 1 message with 3 questions vs the 3 messages with 1 question each(many messages in short time make me think something is wrong and urgent), what’s your preference?

      Nah for me 1 message is where it’s at, I was just joking. I like it when people send over one message with everything they need to tell or ask so I can respond without going into a back and forward, ESPECIALLY if I’m busy with work but not necessarily.

      I also ask multiple things in one message but people never ever take the time to respond to all of them… Fucking ever, it pisses me off lol, because I put effort into writing a coherent message then they just discard it most of the time :-/
