Something Weird In the Background
We all love to occasionally share a picture with our loved ones. Sometimes we meet a special someone and want to let our family know; other times, we encounter a beautiful vista that we just have to take a picture of. Mothers and fathers are still getting the hang of the whole “camera on a phone” thing.
Especially since many of our parents grew up in a time when phones and cameras were separate objects. This mother didn’t realize that her finger was on the camera and blocking the view. So whenever she sent a photo, there was nothing to see but a close-up of her finger.
Early Signs of Possession
We’re not sure what exactly is going on in this text message, but it seems to be a mixture of some really nasty software virus and a ghost haunting the phone. When you hold a key on your phone’s keyboard, you’ll likely see a list of variant letters you can use.
For example, instead of writing the letter ‘e’, you can hold the letter and choose something else such as 'è,' 'é,' 'ë,' or 'ę.' We assume that this is what happened to this mother’s phone, although based on her daughter’s response, it might be something much worse and her phone might be broken.
Don’t Type Without Seeing
One of the worst things about having glasses is the moments when you lose them. The problems that come with partial blindness include occasionally stubbing your toe or walking with your arms outstretched like a zombie across your house so as not to bump into anything or break a vase.
If you’ve ever tried typing on a smartphone with your eyes closed, it’s quite a similar experience to doing it without your glasses. This mother shows us exactly why you shouldn’t try to type without glasses, cause your texting skills aren't as good as you think they are without your eyesight.
Autocorrect Strikes Again
It’s a good thing that this kid has a healthy sense of humor because it might have been highly offensive, if not incredibly awkward. Why, you may ask? Well, because children don't want to find out about their parents' predilections and just thinking about it now makes our skin crawl.
If you didn't know this before, it's official now - autocorrect is one of the best ways to ruin a relationship. It’s just really easy to say nasty things and blame it on the feature, which we guess is why Apple and Android never quite got around to fixing its issues.
When Life Is Too Short
The “YOLO” trend is an interesting one, having popularized a few words to mean one thing that could easily be interpreted to mean something else. “You only live once,” they say, and so you should live life to the fullest. Basically, it's used to express how we should make the most of the present moment without worrying about the future.
Often the phrase is used as a rationale for impulsive or reckless behavior. But…if you only have one life, wouldn't you also want to protect it? Maybe don’t take life-threatening risks? This mom why this mom here used "YOLO", albeit incorrectly, to ensure her kid doesn’t “Yolo” his one life away.
