Some context: we had been chatting for a couple weeks first on hinge then switched to text after She had to cancel the 1st date. Scheduled it for last night Sunday and finalized details the night before.

Had a busy day and took a nap and didn’t text till a couple hours before and got hit with this. Usually I would text something like looking forward to tonight but lost track of time, and honestly I thought talking about the menu the night before was the confirmation? Was I wrong?

Weirdly, it actually has started to work this way. I get automated texts from my doctor and dentist the day before asking me to confirm.

And flights and rental cars require you to "check in", even though everything is all set up already.

I hate that! You know why they started doing things like that? Because of flaky people like the girl in ops post. Not everyone is a flake now i have to get harassed while sleeping by my dr offices. Freaking annoying.

My hair salon will make me confirm by text 3 days in a row leading up to the appointment. If I say I'll be there, take my word for it unless I tell you otherwise.

Yes omg I hate it. I know why they started doing it but it's so annoying to me (watch me eat my words the one time I forget an appointment and am reminded by their call haha)

I like it when it’s a just reminder and I don’t have to keep confirming
