If you’ve ever struggled to get a text back from someone—whether a person you’ve met on a dating app, a good friend of yours or a co-worker—it can be really frustrating, especially if you urgently need something. While these people are amazing conversationalists in person, their texting etiquette leaves plenty to be desired.

These zodiac signs are the worst texters:
Virgo
While this sign is governed by the planet of communication, they’re not the best at being responsive through text. Don’t take it personally—this workaholic sign is obsessed with getting things done right away, and they often give their tasks their full attention, says EliteDaily. Your message is likely on the back burner of their abysmally long to-do list, but don’t worry—they’ll be happy to give you their full attention once you meet up in person.
Gemini
Even though this sign is also ruled by Mercury, they’re equally terrible at replying. That’s because their attention span is split in thousands of different ways. When they finally remember that they have several unread messages from you, they’ll eventually get around to responding to each of them. However, if they bump into you at your favourite café or on the way to work, they’ll definitely pull you aside and talk to you for 30 minutes—they’re just way better at in-person communication!
Sagittarius
There are those who are guilty of opening your messages and never responding, and there are those who never open them at all—Sagittarius is definitely guilty of the latter. They’re incredibly restless, so they’re always caught up in something else too intensely to realise they have a few important unread text messages sitting in their inbox. Still, according to EliteDaily, you can count on them to have a wildly fascinating story to tell when they finally see you.
Aries
Aries has the unique ability of multitasking, but naturally, a few conversations slip through the cracks when they’re trying to get on top of everything. Whether they’re managing a food delivery, heated social media arguments, or pressing conversations with their boss, they’re often juggling numerous discussions at once, says EliteDaily—and they might have forgotten yours. However, they’ll definitely pick up the conversation where you left off at some point—there’s just no telling when.
