When I said 'hi' what I really meant was, 'please lose my number and never talk to me again'... was that not clear?

The read receipt text

If you have anxiety, this handy new iMessage feature is basically a panic attack in a box. If you have anxiety-ridden friends, be a mensch and kindly deactivate your read receipts.

The group text

So what you're saying is you DON'T want 17 message alerts regarding what each of your 8 best friends ate for lunch today?

The "K" text

Thankfully, most of us have upgraded to unlimited texting by now, but let's not pretend these "k" enthusiasts weren't the cause of our increased monthly phone bill.

The "I majored in texting" text

Via tumblr.com

Careful out there, folks. An extra "Y" could mean the difference between a blow-off and a preface to a proposal.

The stalker text

Never be discouraged by a lack of response to a stalker text. Amp up your game by stalking your prey via an alternative form of social media before throwing in the towel.

The subtextual text

Via tumblr.com

Who knew you could read between the lines if something is single-spaced?

The emoticon text

"I don't need to actually SAY I like her, I sent her a winky face like 3 days ago. Trust me, she gets it."

The public text

Not all text messages are private. Correction: No text messages are private. This goes for pictures, too. Just ask Anthony Weiner.

The autocorrected text

Yes, autocorrects are hilarious. Your technologically-challenged father said "eat out" instead of "take out," I get it. Let's make a few websites about it and move on.

The overly abbreviated text

I'm totes smh.

The "I should probably be calling you for this conversation" text

Some things are better said verbally. ESPECIALLY if you're meeting some rando via an online dating site and would like to confirm he/she is not a mute and/or licensed mime.

The drunk text

More annoying: the fact that this app has yet to go mainstream.

The break-up text

Remember when phoning in a break-up was considered poor form? Meet the phone call's evil twin.

The sext text

Via autocowrecks.com

And they said chivalry was dead.

The driving text

We've all seen the commercials... and we've all done it anyway. Don't text and drive, people. Your friends and/or relatives and/or baby-pookie-cakes will forgive you.
