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.
Saw it affect 3 generations of my own family. It definitely contributed in the reason I decided not to have kids It's a devastating disease.

I lost my gradma to alzheimer's. She had it for six years before passing away. It was heartbreaking for all of her loved ones, but what helped a bit was that she recognized us till the end. I mean not our names or who we exactly were, but her eyes always lit up when we came.
My grandmother says this. It's endearing and heartbreaking at the same time.
My aunt had dementia and she would say "i don't know who you are but I am so happy to see you."
I love when Instagram tries to guilt trip you into following people. "X and 50 others follow you but you don't follow them back". They should add "don't you think that's a little unfair mm-mmh?".
I have a FB account just to use to sign into other online accounts. Part of the reason I hate FB is their dumb suggestions to befriend strangers. Hell, I don't even know the names of the people who live on the same floor as me, and I've been here for a few years.
Facebook should have an option that says “Mind your own damn business, facebook!”
The first time I used the block feature on Facebook was when someone I knew but didn't like tried to friend me.

But I'd lose more weight with crystal meth! (and teeth, my house, my marriage, my kids...)
Lately, I've been doing the "I eat whatever I want because I eat one time a day" method.
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.
that whoooooshing sound you hear is the joke going over the heads of a lot of people in this comment section. LOL
I would organize and plan parties, but never at my house. That way, I could duck out when I got tired. After moving all my stuff into a new place, I threw a massive party in the empty house I was renting from a slumlord. Didn't care what happened.

Let's see. I could take a bus to the train, then walk a couple of blocks to watch a movie in a dark room filled with strangers sans refreshments because who can afford them and the ticket. Then afterwards, hoof it back to the train in the dark. Or, I can wait a month until it's online, watch it on my TV from the comfort of my recliner with a frig and toilet mere feet away. Decisions, decisions.
Don't forget that you can just buy a tub of popcorn from the movie theater then take it home to eat in front of your TV there.
Load More Replies...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
But if you just lost a parent and can't reach them for comfort EVER, but they can always reach you when they need you, it's time to rethink the friendship.
Real friends are there when you need them, and they know that you will be there for them. We don’t need to live in each other’s pockets.
I'm sorry, but no. Like every other relationship, it takes maintenance. Don't fall off the face of the earth and expect me to be there for you. I don't need to talk to people everyday, but for the life of me can't figure out how you call someone a friend you only communicate with on rare occasions. It isn't cute. It isn't admirable, it is neglectful. At that point, call them what they are. Acquaintances. Can you think of any other relationship in your life that you consider important, but don't consider it important enough to check in more often than twice a year?
I totally agree with that. If a "friend" doesn't remember about me for 6 months, do they need me in their life at all?
Load More Replies...I lost touch with my best friend from school. In my 30s I got a letter, I recognised the writing. She came to stay with me, it was like the intervening 20 years hadn't happened. She's coming to visit again in May, we're in our 60s now. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
My best friends and I talk maybe twice a year. When we do, it's like we just spoke yesterday.
My best friend and I have a thing we do where if we feel like we haven’t talked enough, we send two questions, one fun/silly one, and one personal one. It works really well.
Every evening I fall asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes before I go upstairs to bed to fall asleep
The sleepiness feeling you get from the couch is different, when I was a kid I always did that to be rudely awakened by my siblings to go upstairs, I said to myself, “ when I get older and have my own place this won’t happen anymore “, now my husband says, you need to go upstairs “
No kidding that is so much true. My best technique is going to bed saying myself i dont want to sleep, im gonna finish this book ! And i fall asleep in minutes... Brain is a b***h, like a kid he always wants the opposite. *Also work when you go out. Just say to yourself that you have to party till 2am ! And suddenly you are tired at 11pm.
I've read that that's a proven technique to fall asleep. You tell yourself that you're trying to stay awake and it tricks your brain.
Load More Replies...True. When I go to bed my brain starts remembering stuff that happened when I was in first grade.
I've been listening to the same book every night for a few years. It's a collection of stories and is 60 hours long so it doesn't get too monotonous... it's comfortable. I force myself to listen and I'm out. Without it to focus on my brain is bouncing off the walls.

My method of getting to sleep is to try to remember lists of things in alphabetical order. I never get to Z. I try not to remember some of the things that have happened in the past.
I go and carry my 3 pups to bed every night. I sleep in a small sliver of bed to make sure they’re all comfortable. I’d sell a kidney if I needed to for one of them.
Yep, 'not allowed' does not matter to my cat. They have places to go and people to see. driving-ca...f4d39b.gif

That's because the day before, you can look forward to it. On the actual day, you are just panicking about how to spend it correctly.
Looking forward to something usually ends up being more exciting than the something!

It's not the money going out to inconsequentials, it's the fact that every generation since the boomers has been consistently underpaid.
With a fresh university degree, my first job was...secretary. My rent was more than half my salary. It was 1985. The American Dream existed for exactly one generation, and that was only possible because of postwar prosperity and a top tax bracket of 90% for the entire decade of the 1950s.
Load More Replies...Whenever I am called a Boomer as a derisive device I try hard not to reply "Did you need something, renter?" Honestly, I am a Boomer who paid $35,000 for a Baltimore row house in a neighborhood that most "renters" wouldn't even consider. I had three roommates and never considered buying a bougie coffee because I had less than $20 per week for food and non-essentials. Interest rates were hovering around 16% and I was making less than $13,000. I recognize that things are tough, but they weren't a bed of roses for most Boomers.
This logic is so wrong. That first 1200 invested 10 years ago in S&P 500 is 3600 today. The single ice latte is not the problem, the mentality that you don't need to save is.
unfortunately, investing isn't a thing pitched to post-boomer generations as a way to make money. i'm 37 and have never invested anything, and now i'm too poor to even consider it.
Load More Replies...If it is only the espresso, enjoy it. Being able to buy your own place depends on a lot if factors. Your paycheck, of course, but your flexibility, too. Our papers are full with whiney stories of people not being able to find a house at one specific spot, because either too expensive or none on offer. However, in a circle of 30 km around that very spot there are more than enough nice and affordable places on offer. And no, they or their kids do not have special needs or other limiting factors. But they prefer crying in the papers instead of moving there and going on with their life.
It's insane how many comments are here. It's not just the price of housing and wages. It's everything. Even if you are lucky enough to save enough for a down payment, it doesn't mean you qualify for a mortgage. It's hard enough to qualify for renting but owning is even more difficult. Everything costs more. And people from earlier generations were able to buy and have houses, something that later generations don't have the luxury of. And now it's even worse because current generations that are coming of age can't even afford to move out of their parents house because rent is so astronomical that working a full time job is not enough to even get into a studio.
Our down payment 2 yeara ago was exactly the double of tht, so if you put aside just a small amount and the amount of your "eapresso" or whatever your choice of hot or ice drink is you gonna get there! It's just you have to put aside that money and not impulse spend it. I was homeless when I was 23. Took me 15 years to get the money together for downpayment. But of course lot of people don't like the situation not having their own home at the age of 25. You have to work on it, it takes time, and you have to bring some sacrifices
FALSE!!!! 2.5% down, (that's doable, with mortgage insurance) would be $10,000 on a $400,000 home. If you can't buy even a condo in your metro area for $400,000, get the f**k out of your metro area. (There would be some other expenses, but then again, your investment after 10 years would probably be closer to $15K.)
I know. Maybe people should consider moving away from the outrageously expensive big cities on the coasts. Plenty of affordable areas throughout the US where the jobs are plentiful and the cost of living is low.
Load More Replies...Despite a rise in worker productivity, wages have stagnated since the 70's. Toss in inflation, and the dollar earned isn't covering what it did back then. But executive salaries, perks, and benefits have skyrocketed. Don't listen to the talking heads. It's not your espresso. It's greed at the top killing us.
It can be both. Telling people to spend whatever they want and blame the "executives" is not helpful. Review your spending for waste *as well*.
Load More Replies...Honestly, it depends on what kind of house you’re trying to buy. And if you have the discipline to forego an espresso for a year, you could likely temporarily forego something else to reach your goal so quickly. Only taking a year to earn enough to put a down payment on a house is impressive. But you don’t have to totally deprive yourself of things you like, especially if there are less expensive alternatives that can help you reach your goal.
If it costs $5 to get me to function, that's a small prize to pay. Without that I'd be like a zombie a whole day and a zombie customer service worker wouldn't have a very long career.
The coffee one is brought up regularly because you can make coffee at home for a few cents. Same in many workplaces. We had free hot water, just needed a tin of instant coffee to make your own. Is it as nice as from a fancy coffee shop? Maybe not, but it gets the job done :P

When I was a toddler my mom would play this when I was taking a bath and she had to leave the room so she knew I hadn’t drowned, and I always responded with “Aunt [redacted]!” because Marco is my uncle’s name.
I call my cat at night by saying "Polo!" It's not her name, but when she can't find us she goes around the house chirping and it sounds a lot like she's trying to Marco/Polo us. When we first got her she would lose track of us when we went to bed and she'd start the chirping routine, every single night. As soon as we said Polo she'd come racing in and jump up and lie on me. So now it's just how we do. 😂
My grandma went with "Of course you can try to stay awake and see the new year in. Lie down on your bed and have a nice rest till then, though, so you're not tired and grumpy tomorrow.

Don't get into a relationship with someone who you think needs to be "fixed" or changed. You deserve what you get if that is your aim. When you shop at Value Village/Goodwill you get what you get.
And from my experience, if you take a broken guy and help him then it’s a waste of your time because you put in the work to help him and other girls take notice now that he’s all good and happy and he’ll realize there’s so many more options and drop you in a heartbeat
Load More Replies...No one is a match for the crushing weight of life that shapes another person. You can help them, support them, and love them but fixing and changing can only be done by them and in their own time.
Take a broken person, fix them, and you've got a ready made person for the next relationship. We've all worked on our partner only to make them presentable to another. It's time we all raised our standards and walked on by to something that doesn't need fixing.

Load More Replies...If a lady is hinting that you need to leave her alone, leave her alone. She is probably afraid of being direct because it hasn't gone well for her in the past.
I get where this is coming from, but adults do drop diplomatic hints for all sorts of good reasons. Kids tend to be more direct in my experience. I might mention to someone with wiffy breath that I have just tried a different toothpaste, if it's really bad I go to the more obvious "here, take a mint". A kid is more likely to say "eww your breath stinks" and that is if they are polite.
I too distain passive-agressiveness. But intentionally iignoring hints is also passive-aggressive. I've done it myself, so no judgement. However from experience, I think ideally the best way is to acknowledge the "hint" by directly engaging the person with the genuine intent of starting a dialogue. This can short-circuit assumptions made by both sides. Passive-aggressiveness can stem from a place of fear or anxiety, and initiating a genuine dialoge can help to reassure and de-escalate the person.
I tend to get along well with Dutch and German people. They're not handsy, they fully understand personal boundaries, and they're brutally direct. I'm so in my element with these people. Here in the US, I'm written off as social awkward or aggressive.
I do this too but it always backfires because confrontation gives me a panic attack.

It's a tough juggling act for parents. How much do you try to get your kids doing? Too much and you're pushy and overbearing. Too little and you're uncaring and detached. I wouldn't want a music lesson every day after school (for example) but I wish I'd learned how to play piano or guitar.

He's a New Yorker so he has attitude and he made a server cry over something trivial like cell phone on shift. You don't know what someone is going through. Let them have an extra break in the crying corner. BTW every restaurant and bar has a crying corner. A place the staff can go hide and deal with it.
There is a time and place. And her jerk boyfriend knew she was at work. Boss is funny.
My mother in law after not seeing me for a year : "Oh. You look.........healthy". Thanks carol nice to see you too.
Load More Replies...Not true for me. My nan always tried to tell me I wasn't fat. My childhood photos tell me otherwise
If my wife asks if her outfit makes her look fat, I just ask her back if my outfit makes me look stupid?
I don't understand why women would ask this question, unless they're deliberately trying to start a fight.
Low self esteem. It's a ridiculous question isn't it.

Load More Replies...The sibling insult reflex. I don't normally talk in school but I was told to read out loud and someone said, "Can you speak louder" and he was talking the whole time I was reading, I immediately responded "Can you shut up?"
I mean as in philosophically, like, “Oh man, she is so heavy with her thoughts.” Not buying it, eh?
Too All men out there never ever call some women fat it never ends well and I do mean never ever ends well you've been warned 🙏
My lottery wish is to have available basic necessities for people and pets that need it.
Load More Replies...North American living in it's current sad situation. Plus $10 for 1/2 a pint of fresh Strawberries pretty much sums up our current state of living 😕😢
The problem is the „not“. Instead of saying „do not spend“ say „safe money“. Sometimes your brain just cannot process a „not“
But I like buying random, unique antiques at Goodwill that aren't in any way useful but are cool
Practicing this now because I need to replace my car by summer. Maybe sooner.
Aw bless, the poor are shaming THEMSELVES for wanting nice things. Somewhere, Bezos got a raging böner.
For me: steak RARE with onion AND mushrooms, side of fries with garlicparm sauce, green onions, and bacon. And a side of broccoli (for the green). For dessert chocolate lava cake
There were a few times with my ex, where they decided to plop his salmom in front of me and my steak in front of him without asking.
Same with drinks. My non drinking ex would always get my beer and l would get his iced tea
Load More Replies...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.
Kinda wish I was rich enough to leave society and live in the woods by myself forever.
But the reality is you have to call in sick because you don't feel mentally well enough to even function out of a bed
My boss actually let's us do that periodically.
Load More Replies...No, you'll throw away half of that because it went bad since you don't want to eat sandwiches for the next 3 days.
Load More Replies...Ha, try that with crafting! I’ll make a card, it’s cheaper than spending £3.50. Two years later the spare bedroom is now stuffed to the gunwales and I lost count at 137 different ink pads…. should have just spent £5 on a really nice card!
What did you buy? A whole leg of ham, a bushel of tomatoes, a wheel of cheese, and 4 loaves for the price of 3? Gunna get sick of ham, cheese and tomato sandwiches by the end of the month.
If single or childless couple spend the $12. You save on clean up and time, time, time!
Heck, I don't even buy deli meats. I get a small portion of a roast and slice it myself. Freeze it in portions. Deli prices are astronomical for flavorless selections.
Yup. Sounds like today's trying to survive, but you're f****d either way.
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.
My SIL is, well difficult let's say. My sister's BIL treats her so well, spoiling her with anything she wants. His reasoning is that having grown up with his brother, he can't understand how anyone could do that voluntarily and is sure she deserves to be spoilt. Her husband responds by doing anything for me. My husband responds by dropping everything if my sister wants. Me and my sister do not understand this odd circus of affairs, but long may it continue.
LOL! My brother and his wife are codependent a******s. I watch from afar.
My darling brother enjoyed practicing his wrestling moves on me in high school... yes, he wrestles with his wife, but...
I have four older brothers. They’re actually really great brothers. But because I grew up with them, I know full well just how gross they can be. I was flabbergasted that ANY woman would marry any of them. But they all got married. One of them twice—-poor judgement when younger, much wiser when he got older, second wife is a gem.
My mother told my SIL to not get married to my sibling. She didn't listen. 🥲
December 24th-December 31st = Depressed but Christmas January 1st= "New year, New me January 2nd: Still Depressed and will be for the rest of my life.
4:00, Wallow in self-pity; 4:30, Stare into the abyss; 5:00, Solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, Jazzercize; 6:30, Dinner with me — I can’t cancel that again; 7:00, Wrestle with my self-loathing... I’m booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness.
I'm screwed. I'm old. I'm occasionally tested for dementia. Little questions like, "what day is it", "what month is it", little things like that. Days, dates, these things have no meaning anymore. I'm retired, and I stream.
Unless you are in Australia and three quarters of the country shuts down for January. Reality hits in February.
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...
What are pranks like in the ER? Slug in a mask? Ultrasound gel on your stethoscope ear bits?
Load More Replies...So often the case! I’ve definitely stayed in jobs longer than I should because my colleagues are lovely. The management, not so lovely…
I've overstayed mine for this reason. Making my escape plan though
Load More Replies...This is exactly why I have had the same job since I was 18. I don't ever want to leave my people.....but my people are gradually leaving me (yes, I have attachment issues)
The Husband loves to say, "I really miss {old job}. It was SO much better than {new job}." I love to remind him how much he HATED {old job} but is seeing it through the haze of nostalgia.
Who leaves the old house for the new knows the one he’s leaving but not the one he’s going
Load More Replies...For me, the job has been awesome, fulfilling, for 30 years over 4 different companies. The people I am still friends with after all that time is less than 20. Almost half of those have now passed from health crises that could not be overcome. I miss those people but know they are in a better place.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, 15 year olds exist and now I feel very old.
I was at work (sailing instructor) and filling in an incident form after a kid got injured and the date of birth was in 2015! Like no way you can go out sailing yourself you should be like 2

From the time I was born. Let's hear it for being someone who grew up in the pediatric ward of a hospital.

Load More Replies...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.
It will get better, if you ever need someone to talk to us pandas are willing to listen
Load More Replies...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.
Not quite Mackenzie. Nowadays many might do this like you, but the post refers to a time if you missed something at the start that was it. Forever. And never to be seen again. And as an older gamer, you can tell your team mates to hang back if you need too. ( When I play with people my own age, start times get put back a fair bit for bladder calls)
Load More Replies...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.
I'm going to disagree with this one. I live on the Westside of Los Angeles and used to date girls all over the L.A. area. One time the traffic was really bad and I was an hour late and the two-hour drive was really stressful. Not a great way to meet a new person. Future dates would have been similar, whoever was driving. So now I only date people close to me.
It's not about the actual drive but the willingness to want to see someone and to make them feel valued.
Load More Replies...As they say ... "Ignorance is bliss". As the Great Buddha once said, you have to "Let that S**t go." Rinse, repeat.
As a Buddhist, one of the most helpful and freeing phrases you can learn (besides "let that $hit go") is "not my f*cking problem"
Load More Replies...No mostly I want to smash their face in. I don't care why. Except for Mark. He stole from me but I wanted to buy the hatchet toward the end and never got the chance because he passed away from cancer. I don't need to know why. I already knew. But I am sad I never got a chance to mend that bridge before he passed.
Why would I do that when I can have a pretend conversation with them in my own head in which no matter what they say, I always have the perfect comeback and I get to win the conversation?
I don't go out on many 'girls nights' (I don't get invited, nothing against them) but one of the few I went on all the women were telling this one woman with a clearly s****y on again off again partner how she needed to confront him and make him explain so she could get closure. I stayed quiet because I don't always understand these situations but she asked me. I told her I couldn't see what was in it for him to give her closure and if that's what she wanted she should take it for herself and just close a door on the whole thing on her own. Everyone glared at me like I'd ruined the advice thing. Except the woman I said it too. She did it too. We are still great friends but I just go out with her, not the crowd.
Unfortunately, yes. Hasn’t happened. But still believe in karma - nothing terrible just enough to show them the error of their ways.
The hard part: they may not remember anything about this. And then you'll look really foolish.
Not really. But I probably won't brake if I see 'em crossing the road. (It's 43 years ago. It's fine. I'm fine.)
Is. The car has not messed up, it is (has been) messed up (by poor driving).
Load More Replies...Nope. Train them right. They might be a spy. Develop trust. THEN show the way it's done.
Many times I told my math students "Here's is how the textbook says to do this, but it doesn't love you like I do."
So many times. "FYI, this is not an OSHA approved ladder." "So if you ever need to open this panel without shutting off the power, use this screwdriver we ground down to fit into this slot, that way you can reset the GFCI without shutting down the power." "Don't EVER use this E-stop." These are all things I've heard over the years.
Go to bingo night. I used to go golfing with my grandma, and I didn't even like golfing. It made her happy, which made me happy. Had I always said 'no', I'd be regretting it now.
This just makes me miss going to Bingo with my nan...Covid put a stop to that.
Maybe theres a reason they couldn't go to bingo night guys
Coming home to a clean house is SUCH a mental health boon; depression makes it hard for me to keep it as clean as I'd like, so it's 100% worth the price to hire a cleaner every once in a while to come in and make everything really nice so I can focus on maintaining it rather than catching up on cleaning.
a messy house, is a working house, unless you can employ a cleaner, or get a partner with ocd
Sprry to be nitpicky but ocd is not "needs everything neat"
Load More Replies...i thought i liked the idea of a sedentary alarm but then quickly found that because i spend nearly all of my time reclining in bed, it was just going off constantly
That's why I prefer old school - Rolex, Patek Philippe and so. They're decent enough to know their role and not disturb me.
Sure, because those are the only other choices available. /s

Load More Replies...22 years in 2024 but not a f****n straight line. A roller coaster for sure.
People always give me a look when I say I don't feel like going to something cause my husband can't/isn't available. They're like, "You know you can do things on your own, right?" But it really wouldn't feel as fun without my best friend with me. Things are more fun with him. Even cooking dinner on a weeknight can be fun with him there.
May 1st will be 42 years. Not all of them were great, but most of them were. Can't imagine my life with anyone else.
It was the most beautiful experience I‘ve ever had. I miss her everyday and wish we could’ve grown old together watching our son grow up. I used to think I knew what love was but when I experienced it for real; it was on another level. Don’t settle. There is someone who will love you for you.
35+ years here too and only regret we did not meet earlier.
Load More Replies...That won't work on me. I am one of the weird people who can actually hear dog whistles.
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!
That ! I still remember my mother talking about hers, saying that she shamed her by judging too much and making remarks in front of everyone. And now I have to refrain from telling her that she is becoming more and more like her mother. I've always had trouble with social filters being a bit overwhelming and I've been making mistakes since childhood, and the same goes for accidentally speaking loudly. I'm afraid when my turn comes to become like my mother
Load More Replies...My dad will get snarky and go "I have such a smartass for a daughter" and I go "And where do you think I learned it, Dad?!"
I tell myself each month "if the bank account is sad but your rent is paid, bills are paid, and there is food in the refrigerator, you are not broke, you are responsible...while a little broke."
That would be nice, I could use a that ten grand or so.
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.
I had a girlfriend who made my eyes roll - along with the rest of my head.
You don't need a partner to tell you you're beautiful! You're incredible and have an amazing personality :)- Random Internet Stranger
Load More Replies...I appreciate your boyfriend too. You are smart, beautiful, capable and amazing! Keep it up!
One time, I turned my face purple from laughing at my own joke before I even said it.
This makes me laugh too though, when someone can’t get themselves together and finish the joke I’m just cry-laughing with them
I'm a blonde who loves blonde jokes, I was at a restaurant with some friends, got up to go to the bathroom, and saw another table of friends. I stopped by their table when I came out and they were telling blonde jokes. I listened to a few and then I volunteered to tell my favorite blonde joke. Well, everybody is looking and I open my mouth and...nothing! My mind went totally blank and I sort of squeaked out, " I forgot it!". That was the biggest laugh I have ever gotten in my life. Because I'm too blonde to remember my favorite blonde joke. :P
Lol we have nicknames for all my friends crushes. They're numbered tho
I wear a 9.5 US and I can put my ex's tennis shoes on over my own tennis shoes. Like wearing clown shoes.
If you have to beg him for anything you're just a place holder while he's looking for someone else.
I love when my wife fall asleep while watching netflix on her phone and then i put Peppa pig full volume in german.
YES!! I make a point of calling my mom regularly for this exact reason. She had an undiagnosed mental illness when I was growing up and carries a lot of guilt. I understand now because I have the same illness but lucky enough to have a supportive husband and the benefit of meds.She didn't.
Maybe the most annoying but also the smartest, more affectionate and resilient
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. >.<
Facebook doesn't even remind me of birthdays anymore. Like I remember my closest friends but anyone else, hey, sorry, Facebook failed you.
I felt that one. Also NO I don’t want to look back at memories 6y ago with an ex…
I want a baby! But I’m a teenager so maybe I should wait a bit 😂
Well considering they know you can't walk around in real life wearing 17 filters, they're not surprised
She's going on the trip, but making sure there's no evidence, such as being in pictures posted on social media.
