Today, I found out I have an option on my phone to postpone the sending of my text messages. I thought it would be cute to send my boyfriend texts saying, " I love you and sweet dreams" every night at midnight for a month. He broke up with me and I can't figure out how to stop the texts. FML

OH GOD WHAT THE HELL #25?!?

#69 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:52pm by Lozza

I love you #25.

xD

#78 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:16pm by lalap

Random 25...

But halarious that 69 is so horrified, yet they are #69... hehehe

#83 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:32pm by stopabreviating

I'm a girl and i wouldn't even find that sweet or cute. it'll be super annoying to check my text everyday at the same time to see the same darn message regardless of me having to wake up to check it or be being awake.

Plus how can it be cute to anyone at all if it's a message that is sent on it's own without any effort from my s/o. There's really no thought involved at all. That could be sweet if someone takes the time to write a nice text to be, which will show that my s/o is thinking of me. oh and it'll still be super annoying and creepy if the person does it every night for a straight month.

#91 - On 08/04/2009 at 2:22pm by wow18

Why so many YDI? She's being sweet.
I wish i didn't have intimacy issues or i'd email/text my bf something sweet every night before he goes to sleep. He does that for me.
FYL for being nice and having an unappreciative, asshole ex-boyfriend.

#93 - On 08/04/2009 at 2:36pm by Moontrance

25, thank you, that was quite enlightening.

Except I already read all that a few weeks ago. Coincidental.

Oh, oh! What 96 said, by the way.
But certainly there's a way to edit the message, at least?

#103 - On 08/04/2009 at 4:33pm by DameGreyWulf

It should be FHL. He's the one that's going to have to receive them..

#104 - On 08/04/2009 at 4:37pm by xNatsuki

I bet you're one of those people who also thinks it's "sweet" to watch your significant other IN THEIR SLEEP WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE a la twilight, eh?
It's creepy. Plain and simple.

#105 - On 08/04/2009 at 4:51pm by isantorin

... what.
It's not creepy to just send someone a text if they're in a relationship lol
I'd admit it would definitely get annoying after a while, for sure, but the thought is sweet... childish, but eh.


Also, many people watch their lovers sleep... while in bed, of course. You know, like that Aerosmith song. Not while in the doorway or window or whatever. Twilight fucked that shit up.

#112 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:02pm by DameGreyWulf

hey! Could u tell me what #25 wrote? I dont find it , and everyones is talking about it..
THANKS (:

#114 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:27pm by kimee21

Just click "Show comment"

#122 - On 08/04/2009 at 7:42pm by DameGreyWulf

Maybe because of the timing. Why would he be up every night at midnight?

#126 - On 08/04/2009 at 8:47pm by 9k5

I love u.haha.I needed and article like that:)

#135 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:29pm by bribria

I agree with #91. I'm a girl too and I even hate when a guy text me EVERY SINGLE day!

Plus OP, pre programming makes it less meaningful, especially when it's the same message at the same time everyday. Your boyfriend probably caught on to it. I am sorry he dumped you for something like THAT though =/

#137 - On 08/05/2009 at 12:32am by chel08

I'm with #91. Getting auto-texts every night would drive me nuts.

#142 - On 08/05/2009 at 4:22am by 603050294

She needed to add, good night and sweet dreams, I am watching you from the tree outside your window.

And OP: Postpone means that you withhold or put off. It does not make sense in this sentence.

#145 - On 08/05/2009 at 10:45am by LaceyPatrickson

Awkward . . . 8-)

#147 - On 08/05/2009 at 11:58am by Kiwi_Splash

what did #25 say? I looked at every post and couldnt find the number

#156 - On 08/10/2009 at 7:37pm by free2shoot8

No wonder he broke up with you.

#2 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:03am by leandra12

Yeah i totally would have broken up with her too, that would REALLY piss me off.

#37 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:58am by zrhcrx

Same here! God I couldn't have stood that at all! I don't know why OP thought it would be sweet when it's so obviously annoying.

It's sort of thing you would do to a bitter ex to annoy the hell out of them- keep sending them postponed texts at like 2am every day saying something stupid like that.

So, OP, YDI for being naive and thinking guys are actually lame enough to like stuff like that.

#53 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:49am by divineinstrument

I was thinking the exact same thing... It's no wonder he broke up with her getting the same text repeatdly every night!!

#66 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:42pm by jivealive_5

xDD i'm enjoying this one

#3 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:05am by dearViena

Rolf, Looks like someone is gonna be arrested for stalking.. sucks for you op

And yup #3 this is the funniest fml ive seen today

#111 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:00pm by Dmaster22

Haha

#4 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:05am by lolownedimo

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.

you needy, desperate, clingy slag. im sure thats why he broke up with you. i hope you have to cancel your phone or call up the operator, just something that will teach you a lesson

#5 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:06am by mark266

thats might just be the best comment i've ever seen on here...particularly the word slag, though...it just wouldn't have been the same without it.

#9 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:12am by _THE_MASTER_

Because she wanted to do something sweet for him, she's a needy bitch? WTF?

#20 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:29am by BLNovelist

To #20: So, something "sweet for him" is waking him up every night at midnight? "Gee honey, you woke me up at midnight again last night, that's so sweet of you." I would have dumped the slag too (slag = my new favorite word! Thanks Mark266!)

#30 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:47am by stanzskin

Why do you assume that he would be asleep?

#33 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:55am by lmmmr

lol if my girlfriend kept sending me texts "good night" and "good morning" of course I would consider her a clingy bitch thats not sweet at all. Guys dont think "text good mornings" are sweet. So yes #20 she is what I would consider a clingy bitch

#36 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:57am by Unregistered

Yeah, i think that is super cute. Not needy. Lord forbid a girl be sweet. Besides, if he were asleep then he just wouldn't see the text. I agree, its sweet. Un-slagish

#44 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:18am by HaileyP12

i thought it was a good idea. my girlfriend tell me goodnight and goodmorning everyday, and i really like it.

#45 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:24am by william0090

I think it's sweet. It's not like she's calling him to talk every night, and it's just a little reminder that she loves him each night, that would probably make him smile. If he's not in the mood, hitting 2 keys to delete it or just you know, not reading it at all, isn't a big effort. Hardly harassing or annoying. Some people need to get a grip on reality. Or get a gf/bf so you have some idea what it's like to have someone love you. I'm guessing from the sound of most of your comments you have no idea.

A lot of people don't go to bed until after midnight, so it's stupid to assume she was waking him too.

Take it into the cell phone store and ask them to fix it for you.

#49 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:32am by mobius8

@#30 Maybe he's awake at midnight, or maybe he puts his phone on silent before going to sleep, like I do. I wouldn't assume that the texts wake him up.

I have to agree that "slag" is a fantastic word, though.

#50 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:38am by SpitFyre

I agree with most of the people in this reply thread

It's not cute having someone text you "good night" every fucking night, especially at midnight when it's likely to wake you up. I don't know in what world that would be sweet.

#65 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:39pm by divineinstrument

Only girls would like to get that message every single night! Guys don't look @ that stuff as cute they see it as annoying!

#74 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:08pm by Mbeth

some guys DO like that stuff. my boyfriend and i send texts to say goodmorning and goodnight everyday. OP, i think it's sweet.

#85 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:37pm by julia214

I'm a guy Mbeth. See above.

#86 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:42pm by mobius8

Slag ftw!
That's an awesome word, I can't believe I haven't heard it!

#102 - On 08/04/2009 at 4:32pm by AAAAHHHH12

my boy friend and i do that every morning and night just because we like to and to know the other one is thinking of each other, he is the one who started it too. Not all boys are jack asses

#106 - On 08/04/2009 at 5:02pm by givememeat

whoa! I just got a crazy thought . . . maybe hes doing that to get into your pants? If you really think that you have a "meaningful relationship" with a guy when your in highschool you are obviously mistaken and have no idea what the other sex is thinking about

#115 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:33pm by Unregistered

Hmm. Personally I think its just stupid. I mean really there's just no point in receiving the same automated message every night at midnight. [I'll pretend thats when he normally goes to sleep?]
I mean I would really much rather have her CALL and tell me good night and stuff instead of the same auto message over and over again. It would sorta feel like shes not even bothering ya know?

Edit: Yes, slag ftw.

#120 - On 08/04/2009 at 7:22pm by evlbb2

lmao. that's the stupidest idea i have ever heard.

#6 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:09am by selenes

That's why it didn't work. It was pretty stupid.

#42 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:16am by AAAAHHHH12

Break the phone? lol or shut it off right before midnight, idk if that would stop it though

#7 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:11am by NGM_47

why would someone want the same message given to them every night?
sweet dreams??? you probably gave him nightmares

#8 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:12am by XxnemoxX

I would've broken up with you BECAUSE of that crap idea.

#10 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:13am by eliz3

Ouch, that actually genuinely sucks.

#11 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:13am by tinyphreak

I would have broken up with you for sending obnoxious automated texts. YDI, dumb needy bitch.

#12 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:14am by deaditegirl

that sucks. and i thought it was a good idea. My girlfriend and i do the same thing, only we say different things than that, and we both enjoy it. I hope you can figure out how to get that fixed..

#13 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:15am by william0090

That would annoy the living hell out of me. I would have dumped you just for doing that! The message loses any sweetness it had when you automate it to repeat every night. I mean, wouldn't it piss you off to have to check the same message at the exact same time every night for a month straight? Delete him from your contact list. That should stop the messages, and I guarantee he doesn't want to hear from you again anyway.

#14 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:17am by atomick

Agreed, #14

I'm sure there is a way to stop that. Call your phone company, or your phone manufacturer.

#15 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:20am by Victoria

wow a girl just wants to wish her man sweet dreams and say i love you every night and she becomes a clingy needy bitch.. sure its the same message every night so what? how does hearing i love you from your loved one ever become boring? theres no point being nice anymore isnt it

#16 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:21am by irockmyworld

That's what I was thinking. It's like people are bitter assholes when it comes to things like this - I'd love it if my boyfriend had a message sent to me every night - because at the very least he had the forethought to program it to send it. Yeah, it may be on par with buying cliche roses - but the thought is/was still there.

#22 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:32am by BLNovelist

Well, what is strange here is not the message being sent every midnight (creepy for me, but wouldn't judge for others). If you love them so much, why sooo lazy and not type it in yourself every evening, rather send an automatic response? Doing like this, you can, ya know, even rephrase from time to time...

#35 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:56am by voveraite

same like #35 says it's pretty meaningless when your not really texting that person yourself.

#127 - On 08/04/2009 at 9:07pm by alex1981

Please note that what you define as "cute" may not be seen the same way by the opposite party. I myself would find that irritating. Imagine having an alarm clock that rings at midnight everyday. Any normal person would be forcefully awoken and that generally irritates them A LOT.

You made the same mistake as the other OPs who i have posted in. You THOUGHT. Stop thinking, it would be better for everyone around you.

So YDI, big time.

#17 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:24am by watisit

Considering typically text messages only make a noise once then not again, I'm not sure how or why that would wake anyone up. It's not like it's a phone call were it will continue to ring.

#24 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:34am by BLNovelist

well when a girl says "I love you" to me that sends off alarm bells why the hell would I want to be with the same girl in high school. If your any guy who has any balls you realize that throwing out the word "love" for a girl=clingy. Seriously how can you be in love in high school with all your hormones flaring at an all time high. . . .

#116 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:36pm by Unregistered

Oh yes Unregistered, because many adults totally don't have sex within the first few weeks/months of dating each other.

Love is not an age thing, it's a people thing, you cynic.

#121 - On 08/04/2009 at 7:38pm by Maddoctor

how do teenagers know what love is. . . . . love has been tossed around so much on tv its completely lost its meaning I mean you cant just say "i love you" in the first few weeks anybody that says i love you is obviously clingy and needs to get some friends

#125 - On 08/04/2009 at 8:33pm by Unregistered

How do you know it was in the first couple of weeks?
Just because love is "thrown" around on T.V. does not automatically mean that teenagers don't know what it is? I mean honestly, if that's the case then how does ANYONE know what love is? It's not something that can be defined, it's different for everyone.

#128 - On 08/04/2009 at 9:09pm by lolthatsucksx

That's my point, that love is not defined. We live in a sex-drenched world, which is totally detatched from love, so comparing the two is pointless. Just because someone is young does not mean they are incapable of knowing what love is. And someone who thinks a teenager can't possibly know what love is is very close-minded.

#153 - On 08/06/2009 at 1:54am by Maddoctor

YDI.

First of all, RTFM or check the phone's website for instructions on how to disable them. This isn't an FML, it's an ITSTFTOFM - I'm Too Stupid To Figure Things Out For Myself.

Secondly, going off the fact that you didn't do the above, and had this idea in the first place, I'm going to guess you're younger. If that's indeed the case, this is also probably a relatively short-term relationship, what, 3 months, tops? Throwing the word "love" around every single day is a bad idea in any relationship. If you both really loved each other, you wouldn't have to say it to let the other person know.

The situation sucks, but learn from your mistakes and move on. Don't be one of those clingy, needy girls, because it only annoys those it affects and you will lose more than you gain.

#18 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:26am by GeekBunny

People in committed relationships or who are married who say "I love you" at least once per day (and preferably more times) are less likely to break up or get a divorce than people who just assume the other person knows it. Regardless of whether it's KNOWN, actually SAYING it is a reminder and reassurance of being wanted and appreciated. It's like saying "thank you" when people do nice things for you - if you stop, eventually they stop doing nice things for you.

The only time this becomes a problem is when the couple is not actually in love, and I'm willing to bet due to your cynicism, GeekBunny, that this is what happened to you. So just chill, stop being a bitch to people who may have actually lost something meaningful, and hope that someday when you are in love nobody tries to slap YOU with a wet fish like you're doing to others.

#34 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:55am by fdgaf_SCL

You're forgetting that people interpret things differently, however, any time you repeat a word or phrase enough - unless there are actions or proof to back it up - it becomes meaningless. Keep in mind the point I'm pushing here is that everyone is capable of letting someone know they love them without needing to say it all the time. Needing to hear it all the time is, more often than not, a sign of insecurity (if you don't hear it, they don't love you?) and a sign that there are much bigger underlying problems. Your statement about reassurance backs this up, and reinforces the ever-growing population of these young people growing up to be codependent and always needing to be in a relationship.

I agree that this is definitely a problem in loveless relationships - unfortunately, there are a LOT of loveless relationships - why encourage people to say "I love you" like it's some sort of habit, instead of saying it occasionally, when you really FEEL that love? Of course I have been in a relationship that went down the loveless path, please show me someone who hasn't. When we loved each other, we didn't need to say it, when we didn't anymore, I recognized it and we discussed things and split mutually.

I'm currently more in love and happier than I've ever been with my S.O. of 4+ years. We say the words occasionally, but mostly just show each other in what we do. I have zero doubt that he loves me, so I don't need to hear it.

Perhaps I was a bit harsh in my delivery, but ultimately I was trying to give the OP some advice that might help her deal with situations like this in a better manner in the future, and to perhaps point out the aforementioned insecurities, since those should be dealt with before getting into any serious relationship.

#46 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:27am by GeekBunny

You do realise that just because you don't say it all the time, it doesn't mean that EVERYONE should follow your example. What works for you might not work for other people.

#58 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:00pm by PurpleHaze23

That was directed to GeekBunny, by the way.

#59 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:05pm by PurpleHaze23

I hope you realize how stupid you sound with your 'ITSTFTOFM', GeekBunny. Otherwise, I'll push it down your throat. You repulse me with your snobby assumptions on OP's relationship. If you would, scroll up, why don't you? There are a few guys who testify against this as being annoying whatnot. They actually find it sweet.

#60 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:09pm by 6daysoverdue

You know, I'm actually one of those girls who is just less affectionate. I know he doubts me, because I don't show it the way he wants it or say it much for that matter. I like to think that the three words lose value when said too much. I try to say it more, to compensate for whatever affection seemingly lacking. I'm just dull. Not clingy, not needy. Nowhere near at all.

I'm sure some girls out there share the same circumstances.

#62 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:17pm by 6daysoverdue

At no point in my posts did I suggest that everyone should do things my way, I was just making the point that not everyone should do things the other way. People are complicated creatures, we all have our own preferences, I'm not holding a gun to your head and saying "You must do things this way," I'm saying, "This is how it is for me" - I live and let live.

I made some guesses about the OP, but I went on to say "for any relationship" - your later example is also not you saying it "every day" - and if it is, it is only because of your boyfriend's insecurities, as you pointed out, and I'm guessing the guys above have their doubts in their relationships as well, founded or unfounded. I'm not suggesting you don't mean the words when you say them, how could I have, you hadn't even posted yet?

Seriously girls, stop taking posts as personal attacks (this is also not a personal attack). I'm not saying "UR DOIN IT RONG" - I'm just... saying.

#63 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:26pm by GeekBunny

Oh, and the "ITSTFTOFM" was in regards to her not being able to figure out how to disable that feature, not in regards to anything about her relationship or behaviour.

#64 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:29pm by GeekBunny

lol you do realize that a) that guy is obviously one of those guys who can only get one girlfriend or b) they just want to get into their girlfriends pants

#117 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:39pm by Unregistered

all you peple saying YDI dont deserve to have a girlfriend. or a boyfriend.

#19 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:26am by irockmyworld

See, that's where you're wrong. All of us saying YDI are people that probably have normal not-in-middle-school relationships.
I can see how the OP thought it was a nice gesture, but for the boyfriend to get the same text at the same time (especially if he went to bed early only to be woken up) can become annoying.

#21 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:31am by gigi37

really? would you enjoy having your significant other take something as important as "I Love You" and preprograming into a machine? it takes all the value out of it. so yeah. she deserved the breakup and the looking like an idiot, because of what she reduced her relationship to.

#23 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:34am by thx1138

its the thought that she wants to say i love you to him every day thats the issue here. not about pre programming it. i mean, wads the big deal. anyway the OP never said the bf broke up cause of the texts anyway. so stop assuming. all she did was just wanna say i love u to him every night. i really dont see how wrong that is.

#31 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:48am by irockmyworld

lol "its the thought" of pre-programming a message? seriously? What the fuck that takes like 5 seconds to do and the phone does the rest for you seriously

#39 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:04am by Unregistered

Bravo. Technology has made humans much less romantic. This is proof. And yes, I agree with everyone who said YDI and "oh I WONDER why he broke up with you..." Reminds me of the guy who tried to break up with his clingy, needy girlfriend, only to have her show him the giant back tattoo with both their names on it. Now that's love. Crazy, psycho bitch love. Watch out, she might try to steal your sperm!!!

#27 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:39am by saddletramp

no wonder he broke up with you. crazy woman

#28 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:40am by midnighthammers

You seem kinda psyco.... He and the girl he has been cheating on you with laugh at you every night!! HAHAHA!!! I like this beardo8 guy with his knowledge of dildos

#29 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:43am by donkey_hang_down

its a freakin text message. not an alarm or a phone call that goes on ringing forever. and seriously, if u wake up to a i love u message, how mad can u even get. wtf is wrong with u people. idiots really

#32 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:50am by irockmyworld

Whoa! Holy crap guess what guys dont give a fuck if their girl friends send them "i love you honey good night" every single fucking today clogging up the text inbox. That is called clingy and needs to get some friends

#38 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:01am by Unregistered

I love how everyone assumes that the boyfriend is being "woken up" by the texts every night. Apparently every commenter on that matter knows the boyfriend personally and what time he goes to bed.

Programing the phone to send texts for a month? Yeah, it's childish and a sign of a juvenile relationship, but not an indicator needy, clingy bitch.

To donkey_hang_down: beardo8 has no knowledge of dildos. He just found out how to work the "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" hotkeys and is being a douchecanoe troll.

#40 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:06am by Protoforms_rule

Yes i am aware of that, it is obvious that he copy/paste. Even though it is still funny since there is no relation to the subject.....

#41 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:15am by donkey_hang_down

wow only one person commented on the fact that he receives them at midnight that makes it more annoying. ydi

#43 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:17am by chowyuk

That's obnoxious. Why at midnight? And why pre-planned? That's probably not the reason he broke up with you, but it's a contributing factor.
Let's imagine you're sleeping after a long, busy day. After you fall asleep, you hear beeping or you can feel your phone vibrate, just to see it's from your partner who sent you a text message. You've been receiving the same one for a few days at the same time.
Obviously they suspect it's pre-planned, and they think, "They can't take the 5 seconds to send me a real text message?"
And maybe it was because you used the word "love". "Love" is a strong word. Most people in relationships don't "love" each other.
YDI for assuming he'd enjoy those needy-sounding texts.

"most people in relationships dont love each other" what the fuck. why the hell are u in a relationship then. im guessing ure the kind of person who just hooks up for sex then.

u need to grow up seriously.

#134 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:19pm by irockmyworld

I disagree with the fact that the OP would be woken up every night but I do believe that it would jut be plain annoying to receive the same text every night and know it's coming. It's not about the fact that she wanted to say I love you to her boyfriend every night, it's just like she was too lazy to vary it nightly so she preprogrammed it, thus taking out some of the meaning.

#48 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:32am by deathbunny256

You may have come across as clingy and smothering, depending on how long this relationship has gone on. Or it could have been something totally unrelated. Learn from it and move on.

While you're trying to figure out how to stop it, send your ex a message that you're sorry about the texts, you're trying to get them stopped, etc., and you're not a psycho bitch trying to stalk him. Just be honest about your dilemma but make it clear you're respecting his space. In time you'll laugh about this.

#51 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:43am by Vagrarian

Your message lost any true feeling once you automated it, is it too much bother for you to type out "I love you" every night? 8 letters and you can't be bothered?? Doesn't seem like you love him that much.

Automated messaged are what companies use to piss everyone off telling them how much money they could save them on electricity or car insurance, not what someone uses to tell someone they love them.

#52 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:44am by catatonicsleep

Woo, represent Saskatchewan, even if you are a smothering gf

#54 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:57am by wbrycem

I think you should send him another text message saying that your sorry for the text messages he has been recieving from you and that you are trying to stop them but don't know how.

But maybe he has changed his number already.

#55 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:57am by dummydory

Turn off your phone at night, problen solved.

#56 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:58am by febag

For a month?? you never thought that would get really annoying after say a week?

#57 - On 08/04/2009 at 11:59am by ultraslick

my now ex boyfriend used to text me "good morning babe" every morning when he got up for at work at 7 a.m. It was sweet at first...but having to wake up at 7 to the same robotic words every morning got REALLY old.

#61 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:16pm by leahhhhh

i totally read this in Meg Griffins voice

#67 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:45pm by Rude_Girl_Ska

i kind of love you for that

#148 - On 08/05/2009 at 12:47pm by zombie_pie

Fail. Type it out yourself. I would be pretty offended if I got the exact same automatic text every single day.

#68 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:52pm by jasax1

My boyfriend and I are 2000 miles apart for the summer and I text him goodnight and goodmorning everyday and he likes it. Idk everyone is different I guess. I agree that automating it takes out a lot, if not all, of the significance though. I think the OP was just excited about trying a new feature on her phone, but she should have thought it a little more, a month of automated messages would get annoying.

#70 - On 08/04/2009 at 12:57pm by hunny_kat

He probably laughs when he hears his text go off since he is probably banging someone else when it happens... :(

#100 - On 08/04/2009 at 4:06pm by donkey_hang_down

YDI. Being sent a text like that every night at midnight would get boring fast. What made you think that was a good idea?

#71 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:00pm by Malexhe

Besides the fact that its automated, I think its sweet. I think any of the guys I've dated would have found it cute... just, not automated.

However, tres awkward that you can't stop it. He probably thinks you're a creeper now.

#72 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:02pm by romaunts

because that's not creepy at all to be sitting in bed at midnight every night and get a text saying i love you sweet dreams! because EVERY guy finds that cute to be freaked out at midnight every night thirty or thirty one times in a row

#73 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:04pm by jungi125

why is everybody bashing her?
so she wanted to do nice something nice for her boyfriend.
oh my god!! call the police!
my god, you people must have nothing better to do than criticize this girl for trying to be nice to her boyfriend.

#76 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:15pm by tangerine_12

SHE DID IT AT 12 AM DIPSHIT! How would you like to wake up every night at midnight to see the same AUTOMATED text everyday for a month!

#82 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:31pm by towell777

Sorry, OP, that sounds more clingy and annoying than cute.
Ever wonder why he broke up with you?

#77 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:15pm by RavishMe77

I turned on automated alerts to remind myself of something every day. After 3 days I had to put an end to it. If I annoyed myself, I can only imagine how bothersome it must be to him for so long. Lesson learned. Stop the insanity.

#79 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:16pm by BigSky

It was prolly cute in the beginning but after a few days of it, it will get annoying and he prolly resented it after a while.

#80 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:27pm by goldminevelvet

He probably broke up with you because your damned text kept waking him up at midnight.

#81 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:29pm by medical

Yeah, to everyone going on about it waking him, not everyone has a pre-midnight bedtime their mummy and daddys make them stick to.

#88 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:47pm by mobius8

#88 - And then again, some people just like getting a normal amount of sleep, and waking up feeling well-rested in the morning so they can be on time to work and class.

#98 - On 08/04/2009 at 3:43pm by Amkii

Yeah, and some people don't need as much sleep or start work later. Pretty stupid to assume everyone is just like you.

#99 - On 08/04/2009 at 3:48pm by mobius8

I am a girl, and it would annoy ME to get the same message every time. So it's not only guys who would be annoyed by texts. OP tried to look sweet, but it shows her laziness and lack of imagination.

#84 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:33pm by sofad15

If you don't know how to turn it off, put in a edit the message and put in, "Have fun jacking off dirt-bag!!!"

#87 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:42pm by hottiegurl

Ydi for having a plan with texting.

#89 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:48pm by 2005KonaScrapp

why dont you just delete his number

#90 - On 08/04/2009 at 1:54pm by zz_top

So you think sending your bf thesame message every day at midnight is a good idea ?


No wonder he dumped you.

#92 - On 08/04/2009 at 2:32pm by Leprecon

i'd be annoyed of the texts if i were him

#94 - On 08/04/2009 at 2:49pm by shaashaa

#94 - I agree!

#97 - On 08/04/2009 at 3:41pm by Amkii

Geez. After I went away to school my mom sent me Goodnight text messages every night, and it got annoying after about a week.

#95 - On 08/04/2009 at 3:22pm by electropop

What you need to do is set up more texts to happen every night at 12:01am for the rest of the month, saying "Disregard that last text, ass-face."

#96 - On 08/04/2009 at 3:39pm by Amkii

LMAO yes, 96!

#151 - On 08/05/2009 at 7:08pm by c0olcat

Why would you wake up your boyfriend every night at midnight for such a stupid text? YDI for being such a bitch.

#101 - On 08/04/2009 at 4:28pm by alex_vik

HAHAHA! I agree, she is probably some annoying whore with nothing else to do...

#107 - On 08/04/2009 at 5:05pm by donkey_hang_down

can you please tell me what number 25 said? everyone keeps talking about it..and now i'm curious lol.

#110 - On 08/04/2009 at 5:57pm by ecoppertone

why would you think he would
like that? getting waked up in the middle of the night just to hear goodnight. no wonder he broke up with you

#109 - On 08/04/2009 at 5:36pm by beaniebabe

I wonder why he broke up with you...

#113 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:10pm by TheOtherNewest1

lol oh clingy girls ^ . ^

#118 - On 08/04/2009 at 6:48pm by Unregistered

Wow, that is pretty creepy.

#119 - On 08/04/2009 at 7:03pm by nomo

Yeah, sweet dreams that get fucking interrupted every night at midnight...

#123 - On 08/04/2009 at 7:48pm by pat2rome

Are the texts not in your outbox where you can delete them before they're sent? Read your phone's manual, I bet there's a way to turn them off.

#124 - On 08/04/2009 at 8:02pm by thaurfea

When I broke up with my ex I programmed his phone to send him a reminder every night. It simply said "you suck". I guarantee he never figured out how to fix it himself. And no, I don't feel bad about it considering he was sitting in jail on domestic violence charges at the time.

#129 - On 08/04/2009 at 9:17pm by ellehcor

That...is...great.

#139 - On 08/05/2009 at 12:36am by invisibl3freddy

thats sucks # 129

#130 - On 08/04/2009 at 9:28pm by lnsean4

I think this is the reason he broke up with you. It could get pretty annoying.

#131 - On 08/04/2009 at 9:43pm by 2Chances2Fail

No wonder he broke up with you. That seems so annoying and needy.

#132 - On 08/04/2009 at 9:56pm by Gaby_peaceandluv

psycho

#133 - On 08/04/2009 at 10:07pm by jc21

ok instead of login in here, and telling us how dumb and clingy you are, why not email the phone's maker?? you know they have contacts and support for that shit.

FHL not yours!! He has to look at that shit every morning lol

#136 - On 08/05/2009 at 12:04am by catriona_cd

Don't stop them, that's funny. Especially if he cheated on you or broke up with you for some stupid reason. Or if he was a douche. That does seem pretty annoying, though. One of my boyfriends used to text me every morning at nine saying "Good morning!" Sure, it was thoughtful [not. He was a douche nozzle] but also annoying. Plus, I'm never up at nine.

#138 - On 08/05/2009 at 12:34am by invisibl3freddy

Yeah, I hate getting *waked* up...

#140 - On 08/05/2009 at 12:38am by invisibl3freddy

Back when my boyfriend used to work in the early morning and wake up at 4am, I used to wake up just to send him a text wishing him a good day at work and to tell him I love him. Is that clingy at all??

#141 - On 08/05/2009 at 2:09am by theevilpoptart

No. That is sweet. You are waking up just for him and sending him a message yourself [not prewritten and just resent]. Im sure he appreciates it. Especially since it sounds like a tough job. Also because he sounds like he's awake at the time. Or at least out of bed.

#144 - On 08/05/2009 at 9:30am by evlbb2

I thought girls would like that... HAHA good thing I didn't do that to this girl I liked :D OH BOY.

#143 - On 08/05/2009 at 5:07am by goldenkiwi12

let em keep comin...itll piss him off.

#146 - On 08/05/2009 at 11:34am by blobxmaster13

I'd dump you if you woke me up every night with a lame text that I already knew what it'd say.

#149 - On 08/05/2009 at 1:13pm by Awnonymous

that'll teach him to break up with you. keep him thinking about you. keep burning coals on his head (from the Bible).

#150 - On 08/05/2009 at 1:35pm by cmac86

hahahahjajajagaaggaagagaga thats really funny

#152 - On 08/05/2009 at 8:02pm by Rydizzle

hahaha lmao

#154 - On 08/06/2009 at 6:37am by plasticballoon

He loves you.

#155 - On 08/07/2009 at 12:36am by spillproof

I think I'd be totally annoyed if I always got the same text at midnight.
That's creepy.
She's rather stalkerish? o.0

#157 - On 08/14/2009 at 4:37am by Chocolate_Cake

in a nice way... um

#158 - On 08/16/2009 at 1:28am by LaceyPatrickson

I wouldn't want to stop them. I say keep them going as a way to rub it in.

#159 - On 08/28/2009 at 12:12am by Kofu

add things like, I can't live without you. The pills taste as dry as my life. Only my blood sparkles like your eyes.

Yeah clingy and crazy... OP you be a keeper.

#160 - On 09/10/2009 at 3:44am by LaceyPatrickson

Oh, the sweet revenge of eternal wake-up calls...

#161 - On 10/19/2009 at 4:37am by Clitastrophe

maybe thats why he brokeup with you to begin with, but idk that im just guessing. i know if i got the same message the same time everyday i would be annoyed and think "cant they send it to me randomly?" its not as heartfelt if your expecting the same message the same time everyday.
