For better or worse (probably worse), texting has become one of our primary modes of communication. So, naturally, a few of the thousands and thousands of messages we exchange are bound to, um, slip through the cracks.
Over the weekend, the hashtag “#WhyIMissedYourText” was trending and Twitter came through to offer some explanations. Responses ranged from the plausible (“I was watching Netflix”) to the snarky (“My cell phone plan has a limit. You’re the limit.”) to the random yet amusing (“Taking the day off work to commemorate Take a Weasel to Brunch Day”) and everything in between.
Below, we’ve gathered 19 of the best responses.
