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.

My wife went into labor on Labor Day. She took it quite literally.

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?".

Came to the comments to add this and glad to find that I wasn't the only one seeing a near word for word transcript of the novel and movie.

Dogs don't cheat, they're mostly in open relationships.

I seldom downvote, but most people here deserve it in this case. This is a form of abuse! It is NOT funny. Those who do this sort of thing (feeding meat to unaware vegans 'because vegans are not nice people and see, they can eat meat', feeding food someone is allergic to 'because there is no such thing as allergies', feeding dogfood to somebody they don't like) are not good people, nor are the people who think this story is funny.

I'm not a fan of dogs but I never, ever, understood the 'cheating like a dog' thing. They are SO loyal. It seems contradictory.

Not noticing that it was dog food says a lot about her cooking. No wonder he was looking around.

I'm laughing because afterward the ex husband sued his ex wife. It's illegal to do what she did.

My grandma told me to mix in cat food when I was mad at my husband instead of fighting. The 30s must have been a silent cat food eating decade.

Not cool...dog food contains bone meal, which could cause internal bleeding. Dogs evolved to eat bones...humans didn't. Then you will by crying that you didn't mean to when your "ex" developed intestinal problems, after you admitted you fed him dog food....not cool at all. Next time, use cat food. ☺

He cheated... and she's still with him. How would you trust a partner ever again after that?! You'd always be paranoid that he's still doing it. It's no basis for a good relationship.

My mom did this many years ago to get back at rude coworkers. She made meatloaf with dog food. They all enjoyed it. And had to keep going to the bathroom so she could laugh.

That is a form of abuse. It is NOT funny. It's the same as giving unaware vegetarians/vegans animal products, or people with allergies food they are allergic to 'because there is no such thing as allergies'. Your mother is not nice person.

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.

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.

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.

I don't know. I asked my sister in law, "Don't you hate it when he just gives you a really hard noogie from out of nowhere?" and she was like, "Huh?" Apparently, he's a lot nicer to her.
