20 Embarrassing Texting Fails That Anyone Who Has Ever Even Touched a Cell Phone Can Relate To
Remember when texting first became a thing? The limited characters, numeric keypads, and T9, the OG autocorrect. It was a revolution in communication! Who could’ve predicted all the new problems of communication it would later lead to. When we text, there is an endless number of things that can go awry. From autocorrect fails, to texting the wrong person, to group texting the wrong people…the possibility for embarrassment is endless.
That’s why Jimmy Fallon regularly asks his viewers to share their most cringey, embarrassing, and hilarious texting fails with the hashtag #TextFail on Twitter. These people truly know what an FML feels like. Here are some of our favorite!
