Texting has been the new way of communication for almost two decades now. Even with video calls being the easiest they've ever been, most people still prefer messaging. In fact, 40% of the respondents in an international survey by YouGov claimed they prefer texting over other communication methods such as calls, video calls, audio messages, and even face-to-face communication.

Texting also allows us to communicate through memes, videos, and photos, which pretty often results in hilarious interactions. We've compiled the funniest and strangest instances of people texting each other, courtesy of the r/texts subreddit that collects "funny, weird, or random conversations" for the entertainment of others.
