What are some of the meanest text messages you've ever gotten?

[Lambsbread]

Inspired by a text i just got from my ex girlfriend, which read (in part):

"but i still want to talk to you but you're sick of waiting around for progression and you can smoke all you f--king want and i won't stop you even though i do f--king care and you're playing such a victim card and here i am stuck between a rock and a hard place so f--k you"

what makes this so particularly mean is that A. she said this out of literally nowhere and B. i wrote a song about how i'm paranoid that she hates me and posted it on Tumblr so she interpreted it very literally and is so upset even though she hasn't cared enough to talk to me at all for 2 months now lol

und du?

I only text some close friends and my Uncle, so I don't get many nasty ones. I was once threatened with arrest while phone banking when I redialed on an already angry supporter of our opponent, if that at all counts.

No response or a very short response is best here depending if you still want to pursue this girl. I'm fond of "gay" or "lol" if you really want to bug her.

I don't text much, but I did get a threatening text in high school from my then-gf's ex.

hahahahaha when i was phonebanking for Romney this dude was like (and mind you, i did not mention i was affiliated with anyone, as far as the guy was concerned, we were an independent polling agency) "i want you motherf--kers to stop calling my house! we know who we're f--king voting for and we don't want to talk about it! f--k off!" and i had it on speaker and my supervisor started dying of laughter

Beginning of junior year. An idiot I'm now friends with kept stealing his best friend's (a mutual friend of ours') phone and texting me. Glad I got past that bullsh#t.

Not that I care immensely, but you probably shouldn't post evidence regarding illegal activities on the Internet when it's pretty easy to figure out who you are.  Just saying.  Unless you're denying that you smoke, in which case, go for it.

TBH, writing a poem about how someone you're in a relationship with hates you and then putting it on the Internet is...kind of weird, especially where you assumed she wouldn't take it seriously. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting this, though.

The obvious answer is "K" or "OK" or something along those "passive-aggressively-trying-to-end-the-conversation" lines. I tend to give out my phone number only to people I'd enjoy texting, so I don't think I've ever gotten "threatening" text messages or whatnot.

There's your problem. Your tumblr--your account on any website, really--should either be secret from people in your real life or not have dirty laundry on it.

[Bacon King]

Honestly I have no idea, I've been texting for like eight years and I've had plenty of sh**tty ex's in that time

I don't smoke. And while I'm not a law expert, my understanding is that it is only illegal for underaged persons to purchase cigarettes.

On the contrary, when I post songs or poems or stories, that's my way of expressing myself. I don't really care who sees or confronts me about it. The problem is that she hardly talked to me for a good 2 months (and barely responded when I tried to talk to her) but then claimed that she had no idea how upset i was because she "can't read minds"

I've never received a mean one.

You have to know how to text in order to get messages, old man

I wouldn't be able to rewrite it on the Atlas, even if I wanted to, as it would be almost completely censored. But it involved someone telling me they wanted me to die violently from AIDS. (Not to mention some of the most horrid grammer I've ever seen)

I agree with this.  women being violently angry at me is totally fine -- it shows an often-salvageable level of passion.  an obvious deficit in care is the most painful to swallow.

I can't say anyone has ever sent me a mean text message.

I won't post the message, but basically I met an old "friend" a few days ago who said she said she didn't want to talk to me anymore after she found out I wanted to be a clergyman.

Second female friend of mine who decided to show her true colors in the past couple months.

Being unpleasant requires at least a phone call. Texting is much too passive to express anger.
