Mobile phones have made it easier than ever to communicate with friends, family and even strangers. Stats show that around 958 million text messages are sent every hour worldwide, which relates to 8.4 trillion a year. In the days of writing letters, we took more time to think things through. And we had lots more time to read our messages before they ended up in the postbox. But in the age of instant gratification, and impulsiveness, the chances of our own cringe landing in someone else's hands are far higher.
If you’ve never regretted hitting “send”, consider yourself lucky. One study found that the average adult makes around 84 silly blunders a year, or more than one a week. The number one faux pas on the list was sending a text to the wrong person.
But there are many other ways to stuff up with a dialing device in your hand. And to prove that point, we have compiled a hilarious list of awkward and embarrassing “text fails” that might make even the most ditzy person blush. If you need something to make yourself feel better about your own mistakes, keep scrolling! And don't forget to upvote your favorites.

#114 My High School Boyfriend’s Wife Just Sent Me This. We’re 35 Now
I have my high school ex blocked on everything. He’s continued to contact me for years using different mediums - instagram, twitter, LinkedIn, etc. If he can find me on a new site I eventually get a message.
I woke up this morning to this message from his wife. Who he had a baby with last year, from what I’ve been told.
I broke up with this man when I was 20 years old, I am 35 now. This is bonkers.
