We've all received our fair share of weird messages. Maybe it was a neighbor asking to "borrow" something totally unexpected, or a completely out-of-the-blue drunk text from an ex. But every now and then, you get a message so bizarre, so out there, that the only logical thing to do is share it with the internet.  

Today, Pandas, we've rounded up some of the strangest, funniest, and most confusing texts people have ever received. So sit back, scroll on, and enjoy this wild collection of unexpected digital chaos!

    Yeah, don't put up with that. She can kick rocks.

    Text messaging has come a long way from its early days. Believe it or not, the first-ever text message was sent way back in 1992 when engineer Neil Papworth sent a simple “Merry Christmas” over the Vodafone network.

    Back then, no one could have predicted that tiny text bubbles on our screens would go on to change the way we communicate forever.

    No, you're missing the point, this is honest signaling, and should be encouraged. Tell him you appreciate his honesty, and hope he's being equally open with his spouse. It would save everyone from wasting time and emotions on men who are lie about the fact that they're cheating pieces of s**t.

    Back in the early days, texting wasn’t the free-flowing chat fest it is now. SMS had a strict 160-character limit, which meant every word had to count. No room for rambling or over-explaining! This constraint led to the rise of abbreviations, which are still a part of everyday texting lingo today.

    Cheaper to buy a new wine glass than repair a smashed one, too. When we choose miniaturised precision engineering, we make a choice of something inherently hard to repair, like drinking from fine crystal instead of a good solid mug. Repairable earbuds just aren't a thing. Even at iFixit, where they've done loads of earbud teardowns, the main "repair" they really seem to talk about is fitting a new battery. If you want repairable, start out by accepting that you're gonna have big over-the-ear cans. And don't buy Apple :)

    I first encountered this in the early 90s with a VHS player. It was 4 months old, 1 month outside of manufactures warranty. The power supply modulator (if I recall correctly) went out and it would have cost $150 to repair the player which I had paid $120 for. Tossed it and bought a different brand that lasted until VHS became obsolete.

    1. only 3 months of warranty? In what uncivilised country did you live??? 2. Given the prices were about the same as in Germany, that's would make roughly 1.5 hours of work (that part cost us usually around 50-100 Deutschmark). The repair doesn't take that long but the question is if you found out what was wrong or if the workshop did (in which case they would have invested time in finding out what was wrong - and make sure that it wasn't just the modulator - but get no money for that investment. All in all not way too high but yeah, why would you pay that if it cost way less.

People need to chill about texting,not everyone owes you an immediate response and life gets busy.

    That’s nearly 6 billion texts per day! To put that into perspective, if each text took just one second to read, you’d be reading non-stop for over 190 years.

    With the internet failing us at the worst possible times, texting has remained a reliable lifeline. Whether it's confirming a meeting, sending an emergency “Help! No WiFi” message, or just sending a quick “What’s up?” to a friend, SMS remains one of the easiest ways to stay connected when all else fails.

Gun nuts were saying that they’re worried it’ll be used to unduly restrict people from owning guns. DO YOU HAVE A RESTRAINING ORDER BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ASŚHOLES??

    It worked in Michigan and I agree! "Jennifer and James Crumbley are serving 10 to 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 Oxford High School shooting. They are the first parents in the United States to be convicted for a mass school shooting involving their child. Their son, Ethan Crumbley, is serving a life sentence for murder and other crimes. He killed four students and wounded seven others."

    If you have guns in the house you need to have a very heavy gunsafe with a dial combination that kids don't know. The one my husband bought years ago weighs 500 lbs. You also need to teach kids gun safety. Start out by explaining to them how dangerous they can be. How heavy they are, how to make sure they are truly UNLOADED. My husband taught our boys about guns and asked them a lot of questions before they were allowed to touch or shoot them when they were 13 or 14 each. They are 33 and 36 now and firm believers in their gun safety training. My youngest is a gunsmith now himself Their stepbrother has a4 yo and they laid into his stupid a*s because he had his loaded guns laying on a table because he didn't put them in his gun cabinet after going deer hunting 1 day. He's stupid but a better parent than the lazy a*s mother that refuses to discipline at all and gets mad when he does. You also shouldn't be able to buy a gun until you're 21 since the legal drinking age is 21.

The only thing mom here needs to talk to him about is healthy safe sex practices and not s**t shaming people.

    I dont think its the child place to come have this talk with the mother like this. Its okay to ask questions and have the talk. But this child is basically shaming his/her mum for having sex at 17 and for how many persons she had sex with. It was certainly not the brightest decision from her mum and dad and the other dads. But really not the kid's place to come talk like that.

    From a learning standpoint, I can understand why he's questioning the "do as I say, not as I do" aspect of sex education. His parent is the closest role model, and if he needs answers, he should be able to have a frank discussion.

    Report her profile and block her. Had girls in my middle school do this c**p too. They were like 14-15 and thought they were "mature enough" to be with older guys. They'd have tons of make up in their profile photos and pretend to be 18-19 and whenever they got busted (which'd be pretty quick) they'd get mad and act like the guy was the immature one, or pretend that it was fine because they only used the app to look for friends. It was annoying at the time, but in hindsight it's just kinda awful

    Had that happen to me, except it was the morning after that she told me she was actually 16, not the 23 she and her friend had claimed when we met in the over-21s bar. I was 32. Perfectly legal and all in that country at that time, but she was on some sort of weird kick to screw as many older men as she could. Should I have asked for some proof?

    But while texting is still going strong in many places, some countries are seeing a decline. Brits, for instance, sent around 40.86 billion texts in 2021, which might sound like a lot, but it’s actually a drop from previous years.

    By 2022, that number had shrunk even further to 36.44 billion texts—suggesting that even the UK might be leaning more towards instant messaging apps instead.

On the other hand I don’t think I’ve ever contacted the wrong person.

    China, on the other hand, still dominates the texting game. In 2022, a whopping 1.295 trillion text messages were sent across the country—that’s about 3.5 billion per day!

    Meanwhile, in Germany, texting seems to be fading into the background, with just 5.8 billion texts sent that same year, marking its lowest numbers yet.

    I'm a programmer, but people think that means I know how to fix their printer or tell them why their router isn't working. Sure, I *might* be able to do those things, but it's because I've been working with computers a long time, not because of what I do for a living. It's like asking the doctor what's wrong with your tooth. He might know the answer from experience, but it's not his field of expertise.

    I am too, and yes except it is not necessarily a matter of years of experience, for me it's a lot of logic and common sense, that improved since I'm a programmer but existed already in my nerdy reality 🙃 And nowadays I'm picky with people I'm actually helping : my blind lovely neighboor struggles with her router / tv ? Sure I'm figuring things out. My nightmare of a grandmother calls me during work hours due to her narcissist lack of common sense? I'm telling her that my hour rate is too expensive for her (it's not, but she would hire a professionnal, so it's a win as she won't acknowledge that I've got a REAL job and keeps disrespecting me). I know how quick sh!t can hit the fan and end up in neverending debugging, so I'm carefull 🙃

    My grandma died on the first day of my college's spring break. Funeral happened a few days later, still on my break. But the funeral was where she lived... in Florida. So I had to suddenly fly to Florida during Spring Break... wasn't cheap and because it was last minute I couldn't get a return flight until a Tuesday, after classes got back in session. Even to me it looked suspicious! But the professors I had for the missed classes believed me and no one asked for proof.

    Ok, aside from landlord having a valid concern, he has broken the lease agreement and they can move out without notice. I would find a place to live and not pay that final month's rent and put it towards a deposit on the next place instead. Let him go to small claims, there is evidence of breaking not only the lease but the law here too.

    Not really a landlord but I hate that in my apartment building, maintenance and the building caretaker technically have a right to come inside my apartment even if I'm not there and they need to do something. Like I have cats at home,what if they come in and one runs out? Who will be responsible? I used to work overnights and sleep during the day,sometimes the maintenance guy didn't knock loud enough and once they entered my apartment to drop off a small AC unit to install later. I was asleep and almost s**t myself when I heard someone inside.

The police cannot enter your home without a search warrant but a perfect stranger can come and go whenever they feel like? No f*****g way.

    When we were looking for a new home we viewed one which turned out to be tenanted. It was summer so the guys were sunning themselves in the garden while we were there. They seemed ok about it but I felt very uncomfortable; it really wasn’t suitable because it turned out to be on a steep hill but even if it had been perfect I don’t think we’d have made an offer. I know there’s an argument that if we didn’t buy it someone else would or the landlord could evict them to sell it but I still wouldn’t want to be the one responsible for someone loosing their home

Tenants have rights always remember to get a copy whatever your signing before u get yourself a apartment/ house. That way u know exactly what you're landlord can do and not do . And even then there are laws depending on your state/ country that can change depending on where you live . Just remember and landlords word isn't law always do your research so u know your rights.

    This would turn me off buying it. To me this is some low-key cagey behavior from the seller. Even if they are legit and the car is in perfect condition this is not the way to interact with your potential buyers. These are absolutely valid questions.

    My 26 year old car has 32K. I got it shortly before my spine got too bad to do most of the activities I loved - riding and competing my horses - and then I had spine surgery, and moved somewhere where everything I need is 5 miles or less from my house. Good enough explanation? It's prepared for when things get to the stage I am no longer able to drive. There are reasons for old car/low mileage, and I do think it's a very valid question.

    Completely reasonable questions, but they should be asked by talking on the phone or in person, because that's a lot of slow typing to ask someone to do, and the buyer should be asking lots of questions like that. Any seller who won't answer questions like that is a red flag.

    In fairness, she's selling it because it reminds her of her ex who said he would always love her and wanted to marry her, but was caught having sex with her sister the night before the wedding.

    My son and I were staying with his dads dad after we had just moved back to Ohio from California (his dad was in another relationship but I had no family to help me out and they both knew that 🤷🏼‍♀️). He had recently split up with his long time wife but she was still living there cause he couldn’t get her to leave. Well, he said to me one day, while I was playing with his just barely over one year old grandson, and I quote “I’d love to lick your pussy”. Bro? Really? I left that week to stay with ex’s great grandma on moms side for a bit. Dude is dating a girl I went to school with, who was in my brothers grade, and two years older than me. Which happened to be the same age his first child, my sons father, was. He has to be 53-54 now and she’s about 32-33. They got together not long after I moved out. Couple years if that. That son is turning 13 in about 4 months. So he was 40s and she was very early 20s when they got together. IF they’re even still together, idk lol

    “I’d rather be in Philadelphia” is derived from a fictional epitaph that locally-born entertainer W.C. Fields (1880-1946) proposed for himself in Vanity Fair magazine in 1925: “Here lies W.C. Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia.” By implying that Philadelphia would be slightly preferable to the grave, the joke tapped a vein of critical commentary about the city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

    I just looked her up on Wiki and was surprised at the different takes in English and German. (E."Lilith [...]is a feminine figure in Mesopotamian and Jewish mythology, theorized to be the first wife of Adam and a primordial she-demon. Lilith is cited as having been "banished" from the Garden of Eden for not complying with and obeying Adam."// G: Lilith is an ancient oriental female demon of sumerian origin.Similar to the later akkadian perception and her afterlife in late antiquity there is some negative connotation connected to her. Her name is used as a forename in several languages" (my own translation) The German article explains how she was pictured in various cultures, while the English one focuses a lot more heavily on Hebrew/Jewish sources and evaluations.

    She disobeyed the serpent and saw right through his scheme, told Adam about the trap, which God didn't like, and was thus kicked out of Eden. Don't worry for her, she landed in another Paradise and still lives there to this day.

    From the OPs previous post history, I’m not sure they meant anything they said. As one comment states “the poster thinks someone is watching them through the walls of their apartment but couldn’t see a counselor long enough to be diagnosed as schizophrenic. Yea, I’d imagine that’d be tough to live with”. In other words, family either saw this coming or poster didn’t mean it. Or brother is just an a*s. Maybe all three 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm not really a picky eater but at the restaurant there are often just one or two dishes I can actually eat. Just let people be, seriously. Glad I grew out of some ARFID foods but it was definitely NOT by forcing them.

The day D morning he texts me that he had a date the previous evening so he cancels with me.

    Depends if this is a "I need some personal time/space" break or a "Can we take a break in the relationship" break. Because the first one can be reasonable if their social battery is dead, but the second is just a breakup.

    Reminds me of my grandma. My husband and I had plans to go camping, and my grandma calls me the night before to tell me that her and grandpa would be in town in 2 days! We lived 1500 miles apart, and apparently they'd planned for weeks to drive thru and visit us, but couldn't be bothered to tell us, just expected us to be happy to drop all plans with no problem. She was livid when I wouldn't, and we got into a big fight. She wouldn't take my calls, and I got mad enough to write her a letter, where I kinda went off on her. She never forgave me. For 20 years she held onto that letter, and whenever I tried to reach out, she would read the letter to me. Even after dementia kicked in, she still had that damn letter, and wouldn't see me. She died holding on to one moment in time, one argument, for over 20 years.

    This reminded me of that meme from 'The Office' where Andy says, "I'm sorry I annoyed you with my friendship."

    As someone with suspected ADHD, I've been told so many times I'm 'too loud' or 'too energetic', it sucks. I mean, especially because people feel the need to just shove it in my face at random moments. Imagine me saying 'you've the enthusiasm of a saucer, but ok'.

    My ex used to call me a b***h when I got hyped up and really excited and chattered a lot. I didn't speak around him for 3 days out of spite. One of many reasons he's now an ex.

    I think the problem is that the employee asked about a raise two weeks ago and instead of working on it or even being honest and just saying no the boss decided to send a pic of his beach vacation. It's just kind of a slap in the face like...I won't give you a raise (or even consider it) but look at the great vacation I'm on!
