While “texting” used to mean sending SMS messages, the term has been expanded to cover really most messaging services that many of us use on a daily basis. Fortunately, the word “texting” has pretty long legs and still does cover most of the things we might use it for.
The “Funny Texts” Facebook page is dedicated to both the amusing messages that people have sent and relatable memes in general. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

That one hits me hard. Watched it happen to my Great Grandmother. I suspect it runs in the family so she won't be the last.
The core of a good meme, beyond humor or creativity, is that kernel of relatability. Richard Dawkins, who coined the phrase meme, envisioned it as a viral idea that spread from person to person much like a virus. However, what he didn’t expect was the fact that much of this information would center around humor and that the internet is an incredibly potent vector for “infection.”
Part of the appeal is that the ideas carried by the meme either focus on a shared experience or emotion or work with familiar information and context. This comes from the high degree of intertextuality that memes possess. After all, we can generally understand the situations depicted in memes through our own life experiences, other memes, or just general knowledge of the world.
At a certain point, memes have become self-referential. If you have ever had to explain a meme to an older relative or someone “less online,” you will know that internet lore is deep. Some memes require a person to understand multiple other references, just to understand the context needed to enjoy certain memes.
It's always fun to get each other up to date about all the chaos that has happened in our lives in between chats
Every evening I fall asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes before I go upstairs to bed to fall asleep
It's not the money going out to inconsequentials, it's the fact that every generation since the boomers has been consistently underpaid.
Was in Lidl the other day and a woman was wondering where the lettuce was. I pointed and said "Iceburg deåd ahead" I couldn't resist myself. We both laughed so all was good 👍
My mother also. Used to pick her up every Saturday for breakfast and shopping. Pulled in the driveway one beautiful summer day and she opened the door, holding her phone, saying "Oh...nevermind. She's here now." When she got in the car I asked who she was talking to and she said "The police." I asked WHY??? and she said because I was late and I was never late so she thought something happened. I replied that I had TOLD her I'd be late because I had a dentist appointment. She said "Ohhhh....that's right! Where do you want to go to eat?".
If he ate it all without noticing, it obviously wasn't any worse than what he was used to.
Omg I feel this. My parents performed only the required parenting duties which did not include extra curriculars, displays of love, compassion, encouragement etc. and I love them but my adult life has been very difficult to navigate.
Females sounds like you're refering to dogs or an animal - i always found it degrading - why cant we be refered to as women or ladies or young women? We are human not animals

I'll bet my current life savings (~12€) that these very same people complain about infidelity a lot.

Neither of these fine male specimens should ever get involved with a woman...
"'s'cuse me ma'am, do you have a boyfriend?" I just walked away, got in my car and left. The disturbing part was that I wasn't sure about it at that time.
I’m gay. So I just say “ Sorry, I’m busy batting for the other team.” (What team? WILDCATS!)
Just say "no". Some will wait around until boyfriend is no longer in your picture.
Well what's your plan for November then? Should use it well because it sounds like your only days off the whole year
"Ya went and broke my only rule" - line I love from song that was rhymed with "I refuse to be your fool"
I tell my daughter this but she’s too busy hoping her bf is something he’s not so it goes in one ear and out the other. I hope she realizes before she puts ten years in waiting for change.
My brother did that until he died 3 years ago. I aspire to his example.
I'm at the wealth level where I have a panic attack and suck it up and get back to work in ten minutes. Yeah that happened today. Panic attacks suck.
18 years in hospital, emergency department. S****y painful exhausting job. But i miss the hundreds of colleagues i had, i miss the laughs, the pranks, the jokes...
Unfortunately for the rest of us, 15 year olds exist and now I feel very old.
Hah. Me for the past 3 years. And not only did nobody notice, my best friends of 25+ years can't even be bothered to speak to me.
Lies I do understand this because I didn't want to skip the theme songs and so I ran to the bathroom because why skip to the end of the show when you could be back when the new episode starts playing. And with call of duty I ran in between matches to go to the bathroom.
My husband and I were states away, me in the middle of the country and he was on the East Coast. He drove the 23 hours to visit. I would fly back and forth to see him. The only heartache about it was when we had to split without knowing when we'd see each other again. We will be married for 10 years this August.
As they say ... "Ignorance is bliss". As the Great Buddha once said, you have to "Let that S**t go." Rinse, repeat.
Nope. Train them right. They might be a spy. Develop trust. THEN show the way it's done.
Somebody 5,000 miles away couldn't be this reasonable. Which is why we broke up!
Yep. As my mother aged, her filters stopped working. Turns out my mother was a bawdy old lady and I'm right on track to follow suit!
Or you can get into a massive argument, but then one of you says something so funny that you both end up laughing and it ends the fight.
One time, I turned my face purple from laughing at my own joke before I even said it.
If you have to beg him for anything you're just a place holder while he's looking for someone else.
Interesting thing is, I keep thinking why do people buy so much groceries and how much money they've spent and they annoy me, but I still watch them. Especially that one with the long nails and ring on every finger, with white sleves which go up to her fingers. Girl, when you're cleaning the fridge, roll up your sleves, you'll mess up your sweatshirt. >.<
I barely even remember my own birthday, don't mind if people don't say HB to me, and don't particularly like it if people get angry when I don't remember theirs.
I felt that one. Also NO I don’t want to look back at memories 6y ago with an ex…
Well considering they know you can't walk around in real life wearing 17 filters, they're not surprised
The title " This Page Shares Hilarious Posts And Texts, Here Are The 97 Best Ones" is very misleading there was maybe one funny in this whole batch. The rest was all some kind of wallowing in introspection.
