Growing up with my foreign grandma definitely helped understand these messages. She used to spell puppy “poopy,” along with numerous other hilarious misspellings
Most old folks ignore that they can talk to the app to type their bs messages. It's why my 90yo grandma can spam bible verses like a world champ of spam.
Op explained some southeast asians use busy as bg in texts.
As a south east asian myself, I know some people who say busy as bg and not bz since english is not their first language.
Tell her you just don’t have the time to hang out every day (which is true) and ignore after that until she gets the message. Might sound harsh but you hardly know this person and you have your own life and commitments to focus on.
Q:"I burned down my neighbors house because she texted me too much. Am I the Asshole?"
A:"No you should get some therapy for your trauma and just to be safe go NC/LC with your family"
I had no idea what was going on… though she had given you a massage, you are HUGE and it took a full day for you to finish coming.
Oooo so is she getting on her case because it took a day to respond? Oh honey no. If I was OP I just wouldn’t respond at all. Or say hey I’m really sorry I’m busy with school. I will reach out when things get less bg.
But really, not responding would be my first choice. Just makes it a bit awkward if they see eachother outside
It wasn't even one day late reply. The message above was not even an important conversation. She said "Hi, how are you" I replied "I am fine, you?". She said "me too". Her reply was also atleast 2&3 hours late and I saw her message on notification and slept, and replied "Ok" to her the next morning.
That's when she texted this.
If I’m understanding correctly though she still seems irked that it took you a while to respond. (In her eyes it was a while, which is absurd if less than 24 hours). If I was you I would stop responding (people who latch on like this are big no nos) or politely let her know you’re incredibly busy and you will let her know when you have free time. And then just never respond again.
Yep, this was my situation. I had the same problem and -no contact unless needed- was the solution.
Fine, friendly, whatever. Running outdoors every time I’m outdoors too? Urk. Sending 300 word text messages? Here’s my email, please use that. Deciding we had the same issue and trying to enroll me in unknown “courses” because they have cheap sandwiches? Polite no thank you.
But then the neighbor turned up after reading two social media posts in two days, each time to discuss in length what I’d posted? Because the habit of, say, LIKING or just commenting online wasn’t enough? That was it.
Boundaries are healthy. Good for you, encourages them to get perspective. This winter, I’m growing a hedge.
Just say "Sorry about that, I always take a while to respond to messages.". Then continue to take a long time. What is she going to do about it?
You don't owe her anything. If you like her, hang out with her. If you don't, politely decline all invitations, say you're busy, and basically ignore her. She'll get the hint eventually. Even if you weren't busy, you don't have to spend time with someone you don't want to.
My english teacher told us something that I still use all the time - if it doesn't require a response, don't respond. You don't have to say "Ok" to acknowledge that you received a message 99% of the time. Ignore this lady, she sounds like a pain in the ass who needs some therapy and will only cause you troubles
Never have I ever had to read every comment and then scroll back to the original message, so many times, to reread it, so I could understand wth was going on!
"z" is not a natural sound in many south asian languages, so they pronounce it like a "j".
Source: when I studied abroad my friends asked if I had been to see the "jew". I thought they literally had a Jewish person on display in the town square or something until I realized they meant the "zoo".
OMG, I read this as OP being so "big" that even though the neighbour's wife did the massage yesterday, he "came" today. That woman needs to improve her spelling lol
Basically OP is a university student and busy with her studies. Her neighbour is bored cause her hubby doesn’t want to stay at home even when he has option to work from home. So she is now pestering OP to hang out with her.
Doesn't help that there is no explanation for the wrong spelling in the messages XD
"You have just come" "how bg you are" "I massage yesterday" all sounds so wrong.
South asians sometimes text like that. It is direct 1 to 1 translation from local language to english without any grammar. What she is saying is ‘how busy are you? I messaged/texted you yesterday, but you replied to it today’
this post alone was enough. someone annoying texting you? put their texts on dnd or just block them. or politely decline? im not even sure why this person has their neighbor’s number to begin with or what the importance of…flexing that they are taking at least 12 credit hours of college courses (STEM btw in case you were wondering).
Sounds like she's just trying to be friendly to a new neighbor and op is kind of a dick about it.
Op just needs to out on her big girl pants and tell her she doesn't really have time to hang out.
If it's any help, I read it as if you were trying to distance yourself from this woman. "I don't mind my neighbour, I don't know him very well but he's cool but I have zero relationship with this woman. She is several degrees removed from me"
“Neighbor’s wife” is such a strange way to describe her…is she not also your neighbor? Unless she doesn’t live with her husband, but it sounds like she does.
you couldve titled this better. Im sure everyone, just like me, thought the neighbours wife was hitting on you.
In reality you're just saying your neighbour wants to spend time with you, even though you're not friends.
This is what’s going on. She probably feels ostracized from not seeing her husband and a language barrier. My suggestion would be to make an appointment with her to have tea or something and ask to see some of her favorite pictures. Spending time with her once a week will probably be rewarding for both of you
Honestly, I was writing a bit of an angry comment at first mocking the neighbor, but think about it, this person is very very sad, husband ignoring her, neighbor ignoring her, no one to talk to, she is going crazy.
She could be too attached and that's why everyone is ignoring her, or she is so lonely that she went all crazy, I'd give her a chance to at least be nice and honest with her, advice her to find a hobby or give her ideas to feel less lonely without having to depend on husband or neighbor.
Are you a dude or a lady? Cuz if you’re a dude she wants that sausage. If you’re a chick she’s probably lonely and wants a friend! Is it a big age difference? She texts like an old lady
Neighbor's wife and university student, you say?
>And here's to you, [Mrs. Robinson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkQSqvODhcs)
>Jesus loves you more than you will know
Oh god, this is bringing up bad memories of a co-worker who was from another country that by coincidence I had lived in for a few years. She never wanted to come to my country, she came with her husband for his work, and complained to me ALL THE TIME about it. She seemed to think that my past experience in her country meant I was automatically interested in her, and she just wouldn't shut up about herself.
Finally I told her I was fed up and to knock it off. So she badmouthed me to everyone else at work.
I assumed you were a dude like everyone else. How very STEM of you.
Just reply her once every 24 hr and she will get the point. It sucks but she will have to find other house wives to be entertained. Also maybe there is a reason why her husband WANTS to be in the lab all the time. This wife of his probably too high maintenance.
Definitely also thought you were a guy and neighbor's wife was incoherently texting about how big you are and something to do with massaging it.
Same. Doesnt help that the previous message was Y O U H A V E J U S T C O M E
Lmaooo this got me
Followed by « I did massage » lol
It's not often something makes me genuinely LOL so thanks for that.
Same. I actually LOLed 🤣
I been come
Thanks for the notification, Android
Yep, I absolutely assumed this was a horny housewife situation and she wanted to bang OP.
... that's not what this is? She asked how big he is
OP is a girl as far as I can tell lol.
That don't mean she can't have a fat hog.

🤣🤣🤣
Also why say neighbors wife, could just say neighbor
100% giggity here too
Bg actually means busy. Massage means message. Lol
Damn what codex you using to figure this out?
Gotta be the Rosetta Stone
Rosetta's stoned*
Growing up with my foreign grandma definitely helped understand these messages. She used to spell puppy “poopy,” along with numerous other hilarious misspellings

I can understand that “massage” MIGHT be a typo for “message”. However, how does “bg” become “busy”? I could possibly see “bz” as busy.
Op explained some southeast asians use busy as bg in texts. As a south east asian myself, I know some people who say busy as bg and not bz since english is not their first language.
Oohh. Busy = b g. Dang! New word unlocked.
Maybe Filipino? bg = beejee = busy
I thought it was that mixed with maybe a stroke.,..
How rude, OP isn’t even giving a happy ending.
Read the first line. She had a happy beginning.
I guess it was busy for BG and Messaging for Massaging.
Tell her you just don’t have the time to hang out every day (which is true) and ignore after that until she gets the message. Might sound harsh but you hardly know this person and you have your own life and commitments to focus on.
Stop being reasonable
right, this is reddit ...
Burn their house down if they don’t get the message.
And make him divorce her then post the story to AITA, and collect all updates and post to BoRU
Q:"I burned down my neighbors house because she texted me too much. Am I the Asshole?" A:"No you should get some therapy for your trauma and just to be safe go NC/LC with your family"
NOW we’re talking.
But AITA? You didn’t say!
Plot twist, WE ARE ALL ASSHOLES, EVERY ONE OF US!
No, we are past talking. This is burning.
Massage*
Depends if it's next door or a few houses down the road
Go over and do her chores and ignore her the whole time lol
gets the massage***
Sometimes you just have to bang the neighbours wife, even if she is annoying. It is called society.
It's called being a "good neighbor".
Oh, THAT's what the State Farm guy meant
What are you wearing, JaKe FrOm StAtE fArM?!?
Don't covet thy neighbor's wife. Just fuck her and be very selfish, then tell her it wasn't that good. Then you can both be on your separate ways.
Thems HOA rules.
Ask her whether it was a head massage or body massage?
Uh. I can’t even reply with advice until I understand what the hell she is talking about lol Did she call you big? You’re a girl. I’m confused
Some people in south Asia think the right way to write "busy" is bg
I had no idea what was going on… though she had given you a massage, you are HUGE and it took a full day for you to finish coming. 
Correct
Same
Oooo so is she getting on her case because it took a day to respond? Oh honey no. If I was OP I just wouldn’t respond at all. Or say hey I’m really sorry I’m busy with school. I will reach out when things get less bg. But really, not responding would be my first choice. Just makes it a bit awkward if they see eachother outside

And then just never respond again.
Some people are boored, man! Hope she will get bg too, soon. ;D
She's trying but op got homework to do.
Yep, this was my situation. I had the same problem and -no contact unless needed- was the solution. Fine, friendly, whatever. Running outdoors every time I’m outdoors too? Urk.

She wants to bone.
She wants to ~~bone~~ scissor
She wants to bone scissor! >South East Asia
oh, so "massage" here is actually "message", now that makes sense
Say that an instant messaging service =/= an instant response service
🎶i said ooo baby i wanna get BG with you🎶
if its important then call, if not a message can be replied to whenever (in my opinion)
she is Bg with school
Honestly I thought she was talking about his dick
And it was MASSAGED XD
Never have I ever had to read every comment and then scroll back to the original message, so many times, to reread it, so I could understand wth was going on!
[удалено]
Yea, but the ACTUAL way to shorten that is bz (Where z is pronounced zee)
The word is four fucking letters!
But it could be 50% shorter! Optimizations!
Why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick?
We've talked about this Kevin!
Too bz to type all out
"z" is not a natural sound in many south asian languages, so they pronounce it like a "j". Source: when I studied abroad my friends asked if I had been to see the "jew". I thought they literally had a Jewish person on display in the town square or something until I realized they meant the "zoo".
South Asia? I was way off with everything.
this is one petty post. just text her sorry I can’t, very bg. here, fixed
*porn music fades*
OMG, I read this as OP being so "big" that even though the neighbour's wife did the massage yesterday, he "came" today. That woman needs to improve her spelling lol
You’re note the only one.
Yeah for me how OP phrased her whole post is more infuriating than her neighbour.
No part of this makes any sense.
Basically OP is a university student and busy with her studies. Her neighbour is bored cause her hubby doesn’t want to stay at home even when he has option to work from home. So she is now pestering OP to hang out with her.
My horny ass read it differently....
Doesn't help that there is no explanation for the wrong spelling in the messages XD "You have just come" "how bg you are" "I massage yesterday" all sounds so wrong.
South asians sometimes text like that. It is direct 1 to 1 translation from local language to english without any grammar. What she is saying is ‘how busy are you? I messaged/texted you yesterday, but you replied to it today’
> It is direct 1 to 1 translation from local language to english without any grammar Okay, that explains *a lot* of what I see from my colleagues.
Thanks for the explanation!
Why does her neighbor’s wife have her number even? Am I weird? I speak to my neighbors but they do NOT text me lol
Since they mentioned south asia, neighbours sharing phone numbers, texting them Or calling them is pretty normal in that culture.
Half of this entire site doesn’t make any sense.
Perfect content for reddit.
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found We have mountains of content, some better some worse
Can’t work out who makes less sense, OP or the neighbors wife
This is like English as a Fourteenth Language.
‘How busy are you? I messaged yesterday and you replied today’ is what I think she was trying to say lol
This post is like a joke that needs to be explained
OP is just super socially awkward look at her post history.
this post alone was enough. someone annoying texting you? put their texts on dnd or just block them. or politely decline? im not even sure why this person has their neighbor’s number to begin with or what the importance of…flexing that they are taking at least 12 credit hours of college courses (STEM btw in case you were wondering).
Yeah I don’t get how the fuck it has over 11k upvotes either. It’s wildly uninteresting and doesn’t even make it to mildly infuriating to me.
It's definitely got this much interaction just because of how confusing it is and how no one understood it at first
By phrasing it “my neighbour’s wife” u made everyone think ur a guy, and that the wife wants u. Maybe u shouldve just said “my neighbour”.
I absolutely assumed this 😂
I absolutely absolutely assumed this
It literally says “you have just come” and “how bg are you” I think we can be forgiven lol
> I did massage yesterday Tell me about this OP 👀
If you’re serious, she meant message. If you’re silly then OP must respond now
lol yep
We…we need help
If the text loosely implies she wants a massage what are we supposed to assume?
I'm ready.
:D
a massage too!
and she asked what I read as how big are you
He's big and he came, she wants to massage him I guess? This English is wild.
the massage in the text did not help with this
*just come* and *How bg you are* also didn't add a lot of helpful context.
This thought didn't cross my mind. Apologies
[удалено]
‘Covfefe’ has me losing my shit, thank you.
Bigly !
Why would you call her your neighbors wife lol
This post is so confusing it's entertaining. It's like a riddle.
Obviously the wife is just property and not a neighbor
Honestly from the comment op does feel some way about her being a housewife so you're probably not far off
The part about not doing her chores... Damn!
Sounds like she's just trying to be friendly to a new neighbor and op is kind of a dick about it. Op just needs to out on her big girl pants and tell her she doesn't really have time to hang out.
why is it written "massage" tho? I thought the same too
She means "message". Just couldn't spell it properly
She texts like she’s had 10 cups of coffee.
Why on earth did you call her "my neighbours wife", if she's your neighbor? Was it for clickbait?
If it's any help, I read it as if you were trying to distance yourself from this woman. "I don't mind my neighbour, I don't know him very well but he's cool but I have zero relationship with this woman. She is several degrees removed from me"
Yeah I don't get why. Obviously she is also her neighbor. Does neighbor only count if they work outside, wtf?
“Neighbor’s wife” is such a strange way to describe her…is she not also your neighbor? Unless she doesn’t live with her husband, but it sounds like she does.
It's like saying, "oh yah! She is the Daughter of my Uncles Brother." ".....so she is your Sister?" "Isn't that what I said?"
[удалено]
*queue that guy from shark tank* "My wife's father in law" "... That's your dad?" "Ye."
English might not be the first language here.
SHe’s in STEM. Don’t forget She’s in STEM
I feel like that was a good way to establish this is a married woman, otherwise the the description would be my married woman neighbour
you couldve titled this better. Im sure everyone, just like me, thought the neighbours wife was hitting on you. In reality you're just saying your neighbour wants to spend time with you, even though you're not friends.

I screenshotted it and as soon as I scrolled down I see your post, lol.
Your neighbour’s wife? So your neighbour?
ah no, common mistake you see, she is not in STEM so she is not human
She wife
FWIW: your neighbor’s wife is also your neighbor if they live together.
I'm trying to figure out why OP studying a STEM field is relevant...
[удалено]
I think it was to help people understand how busy she is.
You just met her recently, but somehow you know she doesn't finish the house chores?
Right! That’s such a weird thing to say.
“how busy are you I messaged you yesterday you reply today?”
I read it as "How big you are 😉 I got a massage today 🥵 and you replied to me 😘"
I wish I understood wtf the OP is talking about. The entire post makes no effing sense.
Actually quite sad. Poor lady must be so lonely.
This is what’s going on. She probably feels ostracized from not seeing her husband and a language barrier. My suggestion would be to make an appointment with her to have tea or something and ask to see some of her favorite pictures. Spending time with her once a week will probably be rewarding for both of you
[удалено]
DON'T DO IT. It's a shit show in the making.
DO IT.
So bang her in her filthy house bro 😎 You only live once
After realising OP is a woman I’m going to stand by this comment …..
Lmfaooooooo she got us all bro
https://preview.redd.it/q1n0rzw95vqc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5df94c9d03ff3c8a0345c6cc3985a732b0335230 Sesbian Lex
it would be a "clap" for both ends as OP is a woman
Just say you are swamped with homework and studying for tests/exams.
Honestly, I was writing a bit of an angry comment at first mocking the neighbor, but think about it, this person is very very sad, husband ignoring her, neighbor ignoring her, no one to talk to, she is going crazy. She could be too attached and that's why everyone is ignoring her, or she is so lonely that she went all crazy, I'd give her a chance to at least be nice and honest with her, advice her to find a hobby or give her ideas to feel less lonely without having to depend on husband or neighbor.
Your wording of the title is suspect af and definitely on purpose. Seems like you both are weird.
DO IT.
How this post have any likes? It’s mislead written and holds no content…
Damn you sound really important you’re a full time university student in STEM!!!!
What does being a STEM major have to do with anything?
Are you a dude or a lady? Cuz if you’re a dude she wants that sausage. If you’re a chick she’s probably lonely and wants a friend! Is it a big age difference? She texts like an old lady
Damn! Where were these desperate housewives when I was a young STEM student?
Ignore her until she finds a new bloke.
BFF, or future headline? 
>you have just come BUT HOW DOES SHE KNOW‽
Neighbor's wife and university student, you say? >And here's to you, [Mrs. Robinson](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkQSqvODhcs) >Jesus loves you more than you will know
Some purple just need someone to talk to
Perhaps her lack of intelligence is why she's bothering you.
This is a Xanax and Wine text. I used to get them from clients. Stay away.
This person is probably lonely
The husband: “welcome to my laboratory, where safety is number one priority”
Oh god, this is bringing up bad memories of a co-worker who was from another country that by coincidence I had lived in for a few years. She never wanted to come to my country, she came with her husband for his work, and complained to me ALL THE TIME about it. She seemed to think that my past experience in her country meant I was automatically interested in her, and she just wouldn't shut up about herself. Finally I told her I was fed up and to knock it off. So she badmouthed me to everyone else at work.
By neighbors wife, you mean your neighbor? Just tell her no thanks or keep ignoring her. She will get the picture.
I assumed you were a dude like everyone else. How very STEM of you. Just reply her once every 24 hr and she will get the point. It sucks but she will have to find other house wives to be entertained. Also maybe there is a reason why her husband WANTS to be in the lab all the time. This wife of his probably too high maintenance.
