It's truly remarkable what one typo can do to a friendship or a marriage or a professional relationship. With just the slip of a finger, something wholesome can become vulgar, something true can become false, and something serious can become ridiculously funny. That's what happens in this digital age we're living through now.

We all make mistakes. Personally, I've texted multiple crushes pictures of themselves, and when I try to cover it up, I make it even worse. Like many of the people whose texts you'll read below, perhaps I should just not have a phone. Maybe that will allow for zero mixed messaging. After all, how can there be any mixed messaging when there are no messages at all? I'm just saying, I think I'm onto something here.

If you've ever been in a situation like this (and don't lie to me: you definitely have), please take some comfort in knowing that all of these folks have been there. Keep scrolling below for these texting fails. When you're finished, take a look at these travel memes and fails!
