With smartphones becoming a thing within the last 10-15 years, we can safely assure you that a whole new realm of humiliation has emerged with the advancement of technology and communication, especially with the rise of social media platforms. As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes when typing a text, we tend to misspell something or even misunderstand the message we received from the person on the other end.

However, sometimes small mistakes, misunderstandings, and a sprinkle of some family drama make up for some of the most entertaining conversations. An Instagram account by the name of "yourshi*tyfamily" collects funny texts between family members and is a perfect example of that.

From dad jokes to moms sending their children some outdated memes, this page is a gold mine for cringe and hilarious content.

The Instagram page has a whopping 923K followers seeking to get their daily dose of family drama and misunderstandings. The account posts the best encounters with parents (usually) and other family members demonstrating they are the world's greatest comedians, taking typically ordinary chats between family members and making them absolutely spectacular.

From a mom acknowledging her sense of fashion might not be the best (to the point of thinking that if something looks cool in her eyes, then it probably needs to be burned on a stake) to children forgetting to thaw the chicken and trying to make their way out of it, this page has you covered for every life situation you might find yourself in. It's taking relatable to a whole new level.

And the best thing about this page? Well, they accept submissions from real-life people just like you and I, so the texts that do get posted are things that actually happened and just got re-shared by the Instagram page. So if you think you have some hilarious texts between your... mom/dad/siblings/step-siblings/uncles/aunts/grandparents and even cousins you visit once a year during a family gathering, well, you better make that submission right now!

Tell us, Pandas, what strange, bizarre or even awkwardly hilarious texts have you received from your family? We'd love for you to share your stories in the comments as well!

I have CDO. It's like OCD, but all the letters are in the right order, like they should be!

When I got my first tattoo, I walked in the door and my mum knew. No one knew I was going to get it, but somehow, she just knew it. Her momdar was frighteningly accurate.

My mom paid for my tattoo but my grandfather wrote me out of his will when he found out, because apparently only criminals have tattoos. He left everything to my cousin who also has a tattoo, just managed to hide it better lol.

Had tats 50 years, designed to show only when I was surfing. When I mentioned design for my next tattoo would probably be a sleeve celebrating my year-long Walkabout, one of my grandkids lost their mind. WHAT?! You can't get tattoos! You're a great-grandma!! Sigh. Can hardly wait until he finds out I owned a Harley and taught disco. 🎶 ah ah ah ah staying aliiiiive 💃 🎶

Most places in the US, you have to be 18 to get a tattoo. What they don't tell you is that ANYONE can buy tattoo equipment online. My 16 year old daughter came out of her room one morning with 4 Peppa Pig character tattoos, a flower on her thigh as well as "bee's knees" tattoos on both legs.

My mom said the exact same thing to me when I got my second on my foot- “I don’t even know who you are anymore!”. And saying only criminals get them. I was 30 and shortly thereafter she was talking about getting a palm tree on her shoulder.

I got a memorial tattoo of our dog who my mother loved more than anything, and Mum doesn't like tattoos. So it was a bit of a contradictory moment. First "ugh, another tattoo", and then a few minutes later "can I have another look at it? Aw, it looks just like him!"

Tattoos are so common nowadays. So is tattoo laser removal. Cause exes go out of style real fast.

I was 18 and had my own apartment. My moms saw it sticking out of my shirt on my shoulder and went radio silent for at least a month.

I got my first tattoo on my left wrist so I could hide it with a watch at work. Didn't wear a watch for about a year. Got a Celtic band on my upper right arm. It's pretty big. My Mom asked why and I told her I did it for her. She was like, WHAT? I said, it's to help in identifying the body.

My father hates mine but says they are quite elegant for tattoos. He's going to loathe my next one.

I waited until I was 38 to get my first tattoo. Mom still asked me if I was sure. I waited 20 years, so yeah I'm sure!

I got my first one at 18. A few years later, my mother calls me at work and needs me to stop at her house on my way home. I get there and she smacks my arm because my little brother got one on his 18th. Still mad about it.

I hid my 1sr tattoo (at age 36) a few times when I visited my parents. Didn't know how they would react (not real bad I thought, but you never know). After a few weeks I decided it was stupid and I was an adult doing my own choices since some years now and showed them. They liked it and my mom told me that she'd thought about getting a small one a few times in her life but never did it in the end.

I tend to say bugger when things go wrong and I think I said it a little too often when, years ago my 5yo niece was staying with me for a week. Thank God my brother has a sense of humour LOL

I too would like a rich husband....or a rich wife, I'm not picky. I'll clean the house every day and cook every meal if it means I don't have to work anymore!
