Texting has done a lot of good for the world – for instance, I never really have to speak to people on the phone anymore – but as anyone who spends their life writing could tell you, there’s also something that’s lost when you’re not speaking to someone face to face.
Mistakes can be made. Things can be misinterpreted. People can just pretend they never got the text…and these 15 people have been the hilarious victims (or perpetrators) of all three of those mishaps and more.
15. Oh my goodness that is quite the prank.
Not a classic, and terribly mean, but also funny?
14. I guess if you’re going to do it, this is the best way?
But seriously, dudes, just assume the answer is no.
13.It took me way too long to see feet.
Are we sure it’s feet?
12. Why do we always end up here?
This is why the birthrate is going down, geniuses.
11. Well that escalated quickly.
No need to play games, of course.
10. How to take something awkward and make it even more awkward.
That’s talent right there.
9. She’s not in the mood right now.
She has pasta.
8. I’m thinking maybe don’t text her again.
This is a smackdown and I am here for it.
7. That was probably not what they were hoping for.
But I mean, you gotta be practical in these situations!
6. This is an amazing burn
Who says all Dad jokes are bad?
5. Hard to say which one of these texts is more epic.
Probably the second one.
4. Things were going so well.
And then, right in the toilet.
3. You can’t just abbreviate things all willy-nilly.
We’re living in a society, people.
2. Confused probably isn’t the result you want from a pickup line.
This poor bastard, just bless his heart.
1. That answers that.
In probably the nicest and least awkward way possible. But it’s still awkward.
I’m so glad none of these were me, but so happy that they ended up on the internet.
