Funny Texts That Caught People Off Guard

So what exactly is a para-social relationship?  Urban Dictionary might describe it as a sex move that involves an entire parachute. But really it has to do with convincing yourself that you actually have a personal relationship with a celebrity or bit of mass media that has no idea you exist. Sort of like this interaction right now, but not really. Because that would imply that you actually like us, which is not a terrifically solid claim.

Where this might apply here is that when we read other people's texts, it's extremely easy to put ourselves in the shoes of that person. This is part of what makes these fun. At the same time, it's a mental exercise that takes an interesting foray into how people identify with the very media they are consuming. This is probably completely off base, but it's at least sort of interesting and that's all that matters in this dumb little corner of the internet.

Here are some textual interactions when people either got way too weird or way too dumb. Sometimes we imagine ourselves, the textee, as someone who is the pinnacle of rationality, being bombarded with idiotic nonsense. Other times were are the colloquial doodoo stirrer, cooking up a pot of nonsense for our even dumber friends to sniff. It is what it is.
