The greatest minds of our time blessed us with the wonderful technology of texting, making communication faster, easier, and more convenient than ever. What they couldn’t bless us with, however, is the ability to think before we speak—or, in this case, type. And judging by certain people’s messages, that’s a skill we could all use a little more of.

The Instagram page Down Bad Comments collects some of the funniest and most awkward text exchanges out there. We’ve rounded up their best finds below. Scroll down to check them out and prepare for a healthy dose of secondhand embarrassment.

    I'm not defending anyone, but it is possible that he's paying a mortgage on the apartment. We don't know either way.
