Today, I asked my friend to stop texting me, because I'm on a limited plan and didn't want to go over my limit. She responded by getting a group of her friends to text bomb me. I got well over a hundred one-word texts. FML

Today, a friend asked me to help him get rid of a girl who would't stop texting him. It worked perfectly. Now she's texting me nonstop. FML

Today, this guy I was seeing dumped me for "bombarding" him with text messages. I'd sent him one text asking if he was okay, after he stood me up 2 nights in a row. FML

Today, feeling so depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts, I texted a girl I had a crush on. Her response? "Can you please delete my number, you're getting annoying." FML

Today, I discovered a way to send a massive number of text messages to someone simultaneously, so I decided to do it to my friend as a prank. I quickly noticed that I forgot to disable the delivery notification feature. FML

Today, I had been trying to text my girlfriend all day, but no reply. After a while, I became worried so I called. She picked up and said, "Can't talk, busy." Not even a minute later, my best friend says to me, "Dude, tell your girlfriend to leave me alone. She's been texting me all day." FML

Today, I asked my husband for the 1000th time to stop texting a woman he used to be friends with in high school, with whom he recently reconnected, and that I’m feeling neglected in this marriage. He responded by saying, “Fine! I guess I can’t have any friends then!” and took a hammer to his phone, breaking it. FML

Panic in the streets of London

By iiiiiiii - 22/06/2022 14:00

Today, like every day, everyone blew up my phone at once and I began having a panic attack. Because I didn’t respond immediately, I was called rude and a bad person. Turning off my phone isn’t an option either, because my mom will come in my room and cuss me out for not responding to her texts. FML

Today, I got a text from my crush. In my clumsy attempt to quickly grab the phone, I knocked it off the kitchen counter and cracked the screen. After driving to my friend's house so I could put my sim card in her phone, I saw that the text said, "Who is this? Stop texting me." FML

Today, I found out my best friend made a program to reply to my text messages with random sentences from a list. It took 15 minutes of texting before I finally noticed. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML

UK ftw. You're only charged for texts you send/calls you make here, not for any you receive.

#104 exactly. In Australia we don't pay to receive calls or texts either. The US system is screwed up. it makes you financially responsible for what other people do. you should only pay for the calls or texts YOU initiate. I can't believe Americans put up with that shit. There's nothing the OP could have done to protect herself from that cost. That sucks.

in the USA and Canada, if you get unlimited, you don't pay for incoming or outgoing texts in or outside the countries. However, with calls, it always depends on your plan, and I'm sure for certain other text plans, besides unlimited, you won't pay for texts either, and your company is a big part of it.

Thats really ****** up. In the UK, it doesn't matter if you are on unlimited, limited, or pay as you go, you still don't pay to receive texts while within the country at all. Ever. It is only if you are abroad that you have to pay to receive, and again, it doesn't matter what plan you are on, you still pay.

On my plan (and I'm in the USA if that matters), I only pay for received texts if I open them... not if they're merely sent to me. So you just delete them from your inbox before you open them.
