Today, I do much less texting for fun and primarily do so to communicate with my partner during the day or let him know I’m on my way home. But thankfully, not everyone’s texting conversations are as boring as mine. We took a trip to r/texts and gathered some of their most hilarious screenshots down below. So enjoy reading through these messages that probably weren’t intended for our eyes, and be sure to upvote all of your favorites! The Texts subreddit is a wild place full of bizarre and hilarious conversations. With over 408K members, this group is one of the largest communities on the platform and is never short on entertaining content. From silly jokes to typos that caused hilarious misunderstandings, this subreddit just goes to show that plenty of gems are hiding in people’s phones! And if you’re curious about the very first text message, this groundbreaking SMS was sent on December 3, 1992 by engineer Neil Papworth. What was the message? A very short and sweet “Merry Christmas.” Later, texting became extremely popular amongst young people, but today, it’s used by all generations. I’ve even received heartwarming texts from my grandmother! According to Client Chat Live, one appealing factor of texting for many people is the fact that it’s more private than a phone call. Nobody can overhear your conversation, and it’s much easier to respond to a text than to have to find a private, quiet setting to chat on the phone. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
