45 Hilarious Text Messages That Practically Beg To Be Shared
We have come a long way since the phone was invented. But who is to say if it is for better or worse?
Today's kids don't know what it's like to spend hours on the phone talking to everyone about everything. Once the phone call with your crush was over, you would call your friends to tell them about it.
And there were no conference calls back then. You would tell everything to each friend individually.
Makes you wonder how we had time to eat, sleep and go to school. The communication patterns have changed since then, and kids today rely mostly on messages and emoticons.
And occasional voice messages. But this limits the conversation and leaves a lot of room for misinterpretation.
Globally, 2.25 billion people used mobile phone messaging apps in 2018, with that number predicted to rise to 3.5 billion by 2025.
The statement "everyone's texting" isn't an exaggeration. However, limiting an exchange to symbols might be difficult.
Things are bound to get (a little) chaotic when there's so little holding a conversation together. Funny Texts, an Instagram account, is a great illustration of this.
It is dedicated to sharing weird and funny messages. We have picked 45 of the most interesting ones. Take a look:
1. Wife and daughter?

Every region has its favorite network for chatting. But, interestingly, the United States is one of the few big countries where SMS, the texting technology remains a standard way to chat.
America's SMS exceptionalism has its pros and cons. The main benefits of SMS are that it works on almost any phone, and people are not constricted to one company.
However, the bad side is that SMS has security flaws, and it lacks features of modern chat apps like notifications that your friend has read your message or the ability to start a video call from a text.

16. Amen
17. Oh, mom
18. No!

27. That poor guy...

What can we say, people, love to chat. And we are so happy that they do.
We’ve enjoyed going through these messages so much. Texting has changed the world and the way we communicate.
But there is a downside. We communicate faster now and try to say more with fewer words.
And that takes its toll on our vocabulary.
