Is she trying to say "I am, baby"? Do people abbreviate like that?

[–] [email protected] 79 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I think the "I'm baby" is the result of using voice to text while she's in the car on the way home. I don't think she's crafting messages in a way usual of anyone. She is spending the minimum amount of time on the phone to let her daughter know she has been heard, then focusing the rest of her energy on getting back there asap.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Yeah I know. She's probably freaking out if her mind and just trying to focus on getting home to her daughter.

She’s certainly no parent.

Probably meant "I am, baby" as in on her way home.

[–] Fedegenerate 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

This is the generous interpretation and the one I'm picking. Seems like a stressful situation for all, so a lot can be forgiven.

I can even understand "k" as response. What can mum do except give the kid, and mum, space to solve the problem? "I understand, I'm calling the police now" or just call the police. One saves time, one wastes it.

I could even understand it being a "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" response. Executive function is gone, here's a "k" while I melt.

Lots of room here before jumping to mum being the worst person in the world.

He is inside mom

The burglar is a pedo

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is this one of those subs where pedo rape jokes are funny or one of the ones where pedo rape jokes are discouraged?

Mom cares about her kid's safety but that K was just her taking a step back and wondering if it's worth it when she still can't get 'hear' right

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

they both have terrible spelling though

[–] [email protected] 81 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

“K”

“I’m baby”?

Did she mean “I’m busy”?

If so this is messed up.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I thought maybe it's "I am, baby"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (7 children)

yeah, auto correct too "i m baby" and made it I'm baby

Imagine responding like that to any Lemmy post:

*Proton endorses Trump

*K

*Gaza ceasefire

*I'm baby

I underappreciated my parents not being that retarded

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 months ago

The intruder bolder, and moments later, police arrived.

What?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 months ago (5 children)

It's a typo. The intruder was a *boulder.

TL:DR her mom called the police and a neighbor and the neighbor loudly arrived spooking the intruder

I was thinking why she didn't just call the police herself but apparently it was so the intruder wouldn't hear her

I'm not sure which part you'd want me to change lol

E: It's a joke about the spelling on the texts, isn't it

Imagine if the last thing you saw from your mom was k.

I mean... That was exactly the right thing to do.
Respond as fast as possible as clearly as possible.

But looking back on it, it is pretty fucking funny to read.

FYI: Text to 911 is a thing in many places.

"Here me"

Everything in that text conversation says none of them understand basic grammar and spelling.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

? Home invasion, better check my spelling before sending.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

I'll admit I would be the kind of person who wastes critical seconds during a home invasion backspacing over typos and reviewing/editing my grammar/punctuation before hitting send because my brain demands perfection under any circumstance. But I think in those situations anybody should get a pass so long as they can communicate quickly and comprehensively.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Grammar might not be on their mind while someone is hunting for them in their home
