texting

Being in love is a magical thing. Or so I've heard. All you want to do is sing from the rooftops and let everyone know how amazing your partner is. Or, as the modern-day love story would tell it, post a super PDA video on social media, with a super romantic song as the backing track. Because sharing is caring, right? One TikTok user named @rachelgwilson, created a montage of her relationship with her (gorgeous) boyfriend—No, I'm not bitter about it, why do you ask?—and put it to a song with the lyrics, "I found a guy told me I was a star…"

Her post went viral, and women used it as an opportunity to create videos of them singing the same song, but with screenshots of creepy, rude, and gross messages they've received from men in the background instead. The results are amazingly hilarious, but also sad because they just provide us with more tangible proof that... Men. Are. Gross. Here are some of the best reactions to her video that we found. Watch them and cry, and then let us know if you have any similar experiences, in the comments section!

Texting with teenagers always comes with the risk that they'll respond the same way they do in person: in monosyllabic grunts. And nothing is more infuriating than a teenager who doesn't communicate and makes you feel like a total idiot for just trying to have a conversation with them. Comedian Maggie Widdoes shared her experience on Twitter of texting a 13-year-old in her life a lovely "Happy birthday" message, only to receive "yeah" in response. Her tweet sparked other people to share their experience of texting teenage kids, siblings, nieces, and nephews and only receiving silence or one-word answers in reply. They prove one thing, and one thing only— kids are brutal!

Much like approaching someone in a bar, dating apps leave you vulnerable to all sorts of rejection. Whether the person you've matched with straight-up ignores your messages, or they reply politely telling you that they're not interested, unfortunately, it's all part of the dating game. One girl on Tinder, however, clearly doesn't understand the rules, and upon being explained to politely by a guy she had matched with that he had met someone else, she lost her mind and went totally berserk. Check out how calmly he manages the situation and how 

Ever wondered what famous people text their other famous friends? Come on, admit it, we've all been there. Are their conversations as weird and mundane as the regular folk, or do they just gossip about other celebs? Does Beyoncé really shoot text Jay Z to grab some milk on his way home? I guess we'll never know, but we've teamed up with Mock Diaries to bring you parodies of celebrities' intimate conversations with their family and friends with the hope to make you laugh (or cry, it's totally up to you how you react!)

Parents on social media and texting are just so incredibly entertaining, we could read these forever.
