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.

#27 Got A Random Text From My Brother 😂
Got a random text from my brother, asking if a jibbit was mine. I know he knew it was mine, so i thought it was weird he was asking me… until I saw his girlfriend in the reflection of his shifter 😂 She has quite the history of getting jealous, so now the text makes more sense hahaha

#46 Texting With My 7 Year Old Son
Kiddos dodgy android tablet carked it, and so he got a hand me down from his Nana that happens to be a pretty decent iPad. His mum and I both have iPhones so I showed him how he can message us. Got a wake-up message from him the next morning, he makes me laugh.

#48 Been Married 9 Years, I Understand Her
Been married to my wonderful wife for 9 years. She tends to prefer voice to text, despite the many typos that come along with it. Can any one decipher this text exchange without any context? I’ll give a hint in the comments if necessary. Good luck!
