texting
We've all heard our grandparents complain about walking miles to school in hazardous conditions. Today's version of that consists of people mocking today's youth being glued to their phones like internet zombies. This attitude has extended to corny and smug memes mocking the current state of childhood spirit. Memers, naturally, have run wild with this concept - taking a somewhat misguided attempt at meme-ing and making it all their own.
Ever swipe right and end up regretting it? Got caught up in the swipe motion and accidentally sent a match the green light? Twitter user @hannahhhxoxo certainly has. When the 22-year-old received a phone number from one such suitor, she decided to play a prank on him rather than text or simply unmatch. The prank? Convincing the guy that they shared a phone number.
Poor Patrick was none the wiser. He fell for her trolling - and it's no wonder. Her feigned shock and almost had us believing that the phone-crossed lovers were being kept apart by some strange higher phone power. After posting the exchange on Twitter, many commenters expressed skepticism that Patrick had been fooled. They theorized that he was playing along. And then Hannah shut them down. She decided to text him and he was shocked that she had been able to do so after their exchange. Once she revealed her deceit, he even admits that she got him good. We hope this becomes a trend because we definitely derive endless joy from the antics of stupid people.
Fake texts have been going around forever - people want that clout. Fortunately for us, there's a subreddit dedicated to these cringey, yet hilarious, text exchanges. We've put up our favorite, wince-inducing examples, but if you want more head on over to r/badfaketexts. The only thing you have to lose is your faith in humanity.
