#19, sounds like he was better off without her. Thank God he didn't marry her.

Hope he finds someone whom makes him happy.

Breaking up via text? If you are going to hurt someone, at least have the decency and compassion to do it in person.

My little brother had been seeing a girl, and he was actually in a very low period of his life where everything was going wrong -- bad job, bankruptcy, weird girlfriend, cats sick, really, everything.

Anyway, he was at a funeral when he received a text message from her saying: let's just be friends.

He showed it to his friends who were there with him, and they all died laughing (not literally, of course).

My roommate's dad told her her grandmother had died via text. NOT a wise move.

Dear Brian,

As your caller mentioned, My fiance of 7 years, (lol) choose to text me that it was best if we dissoveled not in those words of course).... I thought that was COLD, and DEBASED. Glad to know that, since I was going to MARRY this individual

the weirdest text i got was - in its entirety - their phone number.

Well the guy whose casual GF texted him that she was pregnant : the baby meant a lot more to her than he did. She just informed him as a matter of information, but did not want to share any of the emotion with him.

What's so inappropriate? Babies are conceived from meaningless relationships quite often. Perhaps she was simply wise enough to recognize that.

um... ok, if that guy can't handle hearing he's going to be a dad over text, maybe he shouldn't have been sleeping with someone so "casually".

Wow! I think if I got pregnant I would tell the guy in person, not in a text message. or at least a letter. In person is best.

I personally don't like text messaging as a means of communication. I prefer in person communication but e-mail is okay and in some ways preferable to the phone. I can't stand when I am in the middle of something and being called to talk about just stupid junk.

My best friend texted me last week to announce that she got married! I was shocked, and would have like instead to get a phone call at the very least to announce this important information sheesh!

i think it's strange please dont have safe sex

I've become obsessed by the strange news people communicate by text. I've seen everything from birth and death announcements to couples fighting or arranging time for sex. It's quite fascinating the range of things we now communicate (or don't) over these little devices. I'm a photographer and started taking photos of the texts and started a blog of them - if you want to take a look -- enjoy:

my bf is cheating on me. i read the texts he sends and receives everyday. it makes me crazy but at least i know when he is lying to me.

#6,

I bet the men have more positive results when they actually pick up the phone and take the woman on a date then send a text at 11pm. They sit by themselves and wait for a silent phone that will never ring.

Booty call

I signed up bc I think it's cool. Very modern.

Weirdest text I ever got? Mostly my weird texts are the result of someone's T9 garbling up their texts so that "if" becomes "he" and "home" becomes "good" and "kiss" becomes "lips". etc. Use your imagination and you can see how weird a message can come out!

I signed up, but since I use tracfone, I am not sure if I will get the message. But I think it is also supposed to go out via e-mail at the same time. As to who, I hope it isn't Hillary, but I'll vote for Obama no matter whom he chose. If I were a betting person, my money would be on Biden though

I once got an expilict text from someone who put the wrong number, they were sending it to their significant other. I texted them back they had the wrong number and they apologized profusely. It sounded interesting though.

I signed up because it's exciting! Every time my phone buzzes for the next day I'll get excited, which is better than the usual work texts!

p.s. hope it's Hillary
