Like, someone sent a been trying to call... text to me.

That comes off as passive aggressive. Is there another way to take this, or am I just thinking on it too much?

Eh, can be but usually I just assume it means they're expecting a response.

I worked with a chick once who would end every IM or email with ellipses and it got more annoying than you would think.

So, I take this as a This topic is pretty stupid retort.

...What do you think... TC?

The punctuation makes this come off as being a smartass.

So I definitely think it has passive aggressive tones. Like youre annoyed.

I 100% agree, TC. I know people that use them so constantly that I'm pretty sure they're just stupid, but every single text they sends comes off as passive-agressive.

tbh, i never considered this, but now that you point it out ... it can be passive aggressive, but not always .

Ohh, this is a rare time it doesnt come off as passive.

I think its only passive when you end your sentence with it.

Yea, I dunno if theyre doing it intentionally or not is the issue.

I had an attending who would always text me using ellipses and it came off as very condescending.
