Is it rude to text someone “K”?

Is it rude to text someone “k”? Well, it all depends on the context. If you had texted something like “I’ll pick you up around 5” it is perfectly fine for them to text back “k” since they are confirming to you and there is nothing left to be said in the conversation. However, if you texted them a long paragraph with multiple points that you are trying to make and they respond with “k” it would be rude because they are clearly not contributing to the conversation.

Witty comebacks:

When someone texts you back “k”, it can suck, especially when you were expecting a much lengthier response. After getting the “k”, you might feel tempted to respond with something witty. Here are some ideas for responses you could give to them.

1. *nothing*

If they simply text you “k”, sometimes the smartest thing you can respond with is nothing. If the conversation is naturally over or they seem to not be putting in the effort to talk to you, there is no sense in trying to prolong it. Keep your pride and don’t respond.

2. Potassium

This is a witty response because “K” is the elemental symbol of potassium. It probably won’t make much sense in the conversation but it will passively draw attention to the fact that you don’t like being texted a single “k.”

3. L

This is a witty response to give when someone texts you “k” because “l” is the next letter in the alphabet. so it is like the two of you are working together through the alphabet one letter at a time.

4. LMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ

This is a step up to the next level of the possible response listed above. This witty response works well as a response to “k” because it is all the letters of the alphabet after k. You can pretend that you helped them finish writing out the alphabet.

5. Wow, saved a lot of time by not including the “O”, didn’t you?

This witty response is filled to the brim with sarcasm. It really lets whoever texted you “k” know exactly how you feel about that and they will probably never text it to you again. With a response with this much snark, they may never text you again at all, but that’s not the point.

6. Hmm

This witty response works great when texted “k”. Response to their low-effort text with a low-effort text of your own. Showing them that you also are not putting a lot of effort into the conversation.

7. iss my *ss

This is a witty response because it uses the “k” from their message to be the “k” in the statement “kiss my *ss”. Which makes for a pretty funny response that tells the other person exactly how you feel.

8. There are millions of words in the English language and you choose a letter?

This witty response is filled to the brim with sarcasm. It really lets whoever texted you “k” know exactly how you feel about that and they will probably never text it to you again. Use this one wisely because it does attempt to make the other person feel stupid and that could make you look like a jerk.

9. *famous celebrity* would never treat me like this.

This witty response is just a fun joke to send back if the “k” was sent by a friend with who you have a joking relationship. It implies that the famous person you name would never text you “k”.

10. This is an auto-response. The person you’re trying to reach has no idea what “K” is meant to represent. He assumes you intended to type “OK” but you were stabbed and couldn’t expend the energy to type two whole letters. The police have been notified.

This witty response lets the person know in no uncertain terms how you feel about getting sent “k.”

11. Is that the sesame street letter of the day?

Use this one wisely because it does attempt to make the other person feel stupid and that could make you look like a jerk.

12. Okie Dokie.

This witty response works because it is equally as non-sensical of a response as “k” is a lazy one.

13. k.

Give the person who sent you “k” a taste of their own lazy medicine.

14. kk

Give the person who sent you “k” a taste of their own lazy medicine and then double it by adding an extra k.

15. G

You could send them the letter “g” or really any other letter of the alphabet to really draw their attention to the fact that sending “k” is lazy and stupid.

16. K? K what? K the letter earlier than L, the letter after J? Did you already know that during JK, K stands for “Kidding”. So your response is “Kidding?” Or K as in Potassium? Do you need some Special K breakfast? K, as in I can K/O you? Can I knock you out and feed you to hungry sharks? Sharks have a K in it.

This works as a witty response because it shows how dumb sending “k” could be because it is so open to interpretation.

17. Cool.

This is another response that will give them a taste of their own low-effort medicine by simply texting a single word in response. It also allows you to have the final word in the conversation.

18. Giddyup.

This is a good witty response because it doesn’t make any sense as a response so you will be able to see if the other person is actually paying attention to your texts or not because it should garner some sort of response from the other person if they actually read it.

19. Ow, my back really hurts from carrying this conversation.

This is a good witty response to give, especially if they have been sending similar low-effort responses throughout the conversation. It works by making a joke but also drawing attention to the fact that they have not been really participating in the text conversation. If they continue to be low-effort then you know exactly how they feel about you. If they apologize, then you know they are actually your friend.

20. Carbon

This is a witty response because K is the elemental symbol for Potassium so you respond by naming another element. It probably won’t make sense in the conversation but it is a fun little joke that will let the other person know that you don’t like being texted “k” without outright saying it or by being rude.

21. Are you having a bad day?

This response works great as a general response to anyone, in person or over text, who is very clearly being rude. It generally gets the person into some sort of self-reflection as to how they are treating the people around them.

22. I don’t care what everyone else says. I don’t think you’re that bad of a conversationalist.

This is a very funny and witty response that you can give to “k.” It is a very passive-aggressive response but it works because it implies that the other person is widely thought to not be very good at holding conversations, as evidence by the “k”, but then you pretend to not think that and defend them.

23. *thumbs up emoji*

This works perfectly as a witty response for two reasons. One, it works as a response to the person who texted you “K” to mean “OK” and it works well as a mutually low-effort response if the person texted “k” in an attempt to kill the conversation.

24. *middle finger emoji*

This is like the response above but a lot more aggressive.

25. Send an image or meme

Send them an image or a meme to really let them know your reaction to being sent that low-effort and lazy “k.”
