It's too early for that mess!

There are just somethings that really should be said in person or over the phone. I love to text as much as the next guy, but not about important life matters. Don't be that lazy y'all. I realize that we've lost the patience and aptitude for human connection but we can get it back, just by the sound of a comforting voice. Or let's just use our brains when we are communicating. Think about how would you like to receive certain types of news? Then act accordingly.

Redditor u/jdparmenter wanted everyone to come together and spill some tea about those morning messages we've had to deal with once we look at our devices by asking.... What is the worst text message you could wake up to?

"NEVER SAY THAT!!"

Other than a text about the death or serious injury of someone you love, the "we need to talk" text would be second in line.

My wife will do this often. It's usually something not super duper important, but that she wants to hammer out quickly. Doctor visits, budgeting for our daughter's seasonal clothing, bills, etc.

I've told her multiple times that her wording sends me into a minor panic, but either she forgets or she just likes making me squirm for no other reason than to fuck with me.

January 13, 2018. My phone went off and since I work for the state I woke up to see what the alarm was in case I needed to head into work. Woke up the wife and kid and then tried calling Civil Defense to figure out wtf was going on.

No official reply for over 30 mins, served like an eternity.

"I hope you read this in time. I need help."

"Sarah killed herself."

That was a pretty bad one to wake up to. I'm not sure if being preceded by a plea for help would have made it better or worse.

I've shed real tears over these kinds of missed texts.

Love Mom....

"11 Missed Calls From: MOM."

notamentalpatient

After my mom died, I saved the last voicemail she sent me, and that was when she asked if I was eating well and taking care of myself. I almost wish it was my birthday phone call, but I got to hear that live so it was never recorded. But the one I actually have saved is the most Mom thing ever, so I guess it's sort of fitting.

Bad Morning...

The one I actually did wake up to on Christmas morning. "I tried calling. Your dad died."

Catjones1980

I'm sorry for your loss, pal. Two xmas ago I couldn't get a hold of my mum on the phone. Also tried calling my brother and uncle who would definitely have been with her for Christmas. Nobody would answer the phone or text me back for hours. Worst feeling ever. Finally heard back from my brother, mum had a stroke and was in the hospital. It didn't take her then, but it was the beginning of the end.

Incoming....

Whatever that text was that everyone in Hawaii got saying a nuke was inbound.

My daughter, baby grandson, and husband were there too. It truly is the worst text to wake up to.

Mom, incoming missile threat to Hawaii, this is not a drill. I love you.

No. Just... NO!

"I'm drunk, no one is answering, if you can't pick me up I'm just driving!"

Avert your Eyes! 

"DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON!"

Account_8472

From what i think they're referring to is some fan made video about a government 'mandated' emergency lockdown that has a very eerie feel to it and it flashes a bunch of vague messages broadcasted across all devices to not look up at the ceiling, lock all doors, don't look outside or at the moon. super creepy video that had me paranoid for a second.

JD Vance Slammed After Baselessly Claiming Woman Killed By ICE In Minneapolis Was A 'Deranged Leftist'

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he claimed without evidence that Renee Nicole Good—the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday—was a "deranged leftist."

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.” But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against this narrative considering witnesses described seeing Good in the vehicle trying to flee officers when she was shot.
