With the invention of the smartphone, one of the important features of such phones; messaging, has taken the world by storm. Instead of talking in person, people now rely on texts to convey their opinions. It is supposed to make communication easier, but ironically, sometimes messaging can just cause people to misinterpret each other.

One might ask his friend a question through messages, but get an answer that does not even correspond to such. There are many other ways for one to misunderstand the other party through texts, each having their own sense of humor.
What street name were you asking for?
If you are a member of the hip hop community, you might have made a street name for yourself. However, you might end up getting that confused with the name of a street when talking to others, and that was exactly what happened when Mark’s friend was trying to visit him.

Instead of giving the street name that he was living on, he gave his actual street name. Luckily, they cleared the misunderstanding up pretty quickly. At least, now Mark’s friend knows that Mark performs hip hop music under the name Lil Marco.
When planning ahead backfires
Moms like to plan ahead every aspect of their life, including planning yours before you were born. They even plan what is going to happen before they go to exercise. It may seem a little unneeded, especially in this situation. Even though this mother is just preventing the possibility of someone texting her, her son was initially not going to text her anyway.

He tried to make it clear that he wasn’t doing so, but he forgot about what his mother initially said. She should just turn on “Do Not Disturb” on her phone.
A temperature pregnancy test
Who knew that thermometers can be used to check whether one is pregnant? This guy seemed to look at the picture of the thermometer that way.
To tell the truth, the thermometer does look a lot like a pregnancy test kit. Perhaps he was partying last night and was pretty tired, leading to him looking at the picture wrongly. Whatever the case, his girlfriend will not be coming to school because of a fever. Or, could it be caused by a pregnancy that she actually has?
When you get less than you expected
Sometimes, texts do not really express the context for what one is saying, which can lead to wrong speculations from the other party. And when the other person figures it out, it is really awkward and embarrassing.

Even though Kevin is probably in a deep relationship with his girlfriend, she should have known their love does not correspond to breathing problems. It must have been a sheepish moment when she received the text, but at the least, she will know that Kevin is a loyal friend as he tells her the truth.
Two different mindsets
Sometimes, the reason for misunderstanding each other online boils down to whatever they are thinking. In this chat, the sender was planning to go for basketball at 4, whereas the receiver had thought he wanted to perform an unrelated indecent act with him.

The meaning of the chat changed completely, thanks to the receiver and today’s teens’ urban dictionary. Still, this is a funny conversation to look at. Don’t think about indecent acts when you are talking with one another!
Apple iMacs are equivalent to normal PCs
It is a known fact that Apple products are very powerful when compared to common PCs. However, even this Apple iMac will not be able to comprehend its owner’s dense mind. Obviously, Apple would have its own operating system, as this is what sets it apart from the main market.
This owner does not comprehend the powerful MacOS despite the high price tag that he accepted. Alex would probably be slapping his head now. All Apple fanatics must be crying their hearts out when they see this online conversation.
