My grandma messaged me "behind you" at 3am one day. I messaged her asking what does this mean, she never responded to my text. Still shook to this date.
When my grandma discoverd GiF's were a thing, she used them non stop. She would send a text saying ''I left my cane at walmart again" then proceed to send me a gif of two racoons hugging each other, then a child with a horrified look on their face then send the racoon GIF again. She really enjoys the concept of gifs
Grandmas always come up with the weirdest/most unsettling things. I once cracked a short joke at mine(I'm 6'2 and she's like 5'1) while giving her a hug as I was leaving her house and my in-her-70's grandmother looked me dead in the eyes and said she'd knee me in the crotch so hard I'd have testicles for teeth. I had no idea how to process that.
My family runs an auction company, doing mostly online sales. My grandmother absolutely insisted that she should run our Facebook page. One time she let autocorrect do its thing and she posted a message that read simply “ONLINE ACTION, AUCTION SUCTION.” It’s since jokingly become our family motto.
Bonus one, this time from my grandpa: "Do you still want the long, hotdog shaled dog?' I had shown no interest in that type of dog. He didn't even have one, nor know where to get one.
imagine the voice ringing in your ears, nobody else can hear it, just enthusiastically telling you about how you just went to the kitchen to get a drink
Both of my grandmas died last year, it still feels wrong to not have them in my life anymore. Some of these texts remind me so much of them (though in person, they never had mobile phones) Thanks for the laughter!
I lost three grandmas (one was my great-grandma) over the course of two years, two of which died within the same week, so I understand that feeling. My condolences. 💔
I lost my grandma last year, and the other two didn’t bother to reach out (as per usual) to offer me any comfort 🙃 Funny story about my late grandma, she thought texting was unnecessary and lazy, and she said that calling would be better. She didn’t even know how to text on her flip phone, even though she’d had one for something like twenty years. Now of course, her disdain for texting didn’t apply to when she used my grandad’s smartphone lol. She was a character
I once was helping my Grandma send someone something on her phone, when I saw a conversation she was having with someone in her contacts named “Bro.” The messages the two exchanged were completely gibberish. When I asked her who Bro was, she said she had no idea, and didn’t recall having a conversation with them. Who knows how grandmas do it
My grandma has been messaging me and my siblings in a group chat every single day with a new image that’s like “Have a good Monday!” But of whatever the day is today and I just think it’s really nice. I also think her dedication to doing this is impressive. She has been sending us these pictures with no repeats for every single day for over two years.
My grandma signs off most of her messages with “Love ❤️ Grandma” or just simply, “Grandma.” So, I started writing my messages like letters, complete with “Sincerely, granddaughter” to match hers :)
My favorite text from my grandma I got was when I sent her a picture of my little parrot with her first egg. So a small fluffy adorable bird looking at an egg. Gramma's reply: "Scary!! Was it in our neighborhood?" It was so strange, I didn't know what else to say but "Yes she is in my bedroom." Talked to her later and she said I sent her a scary picture of a dinosaur, but neither of us were able to find it on her phone. I have no idea what happened 😂
While my maternal grandmother has sent out some funny texts, none of them have been "cursed." But one of the funniest things she ever asked about her phone was, "Why are my apps jiggling?"
One time my grandma was trying to reassure my aunt and said something along the lines of; " it's okay boo, I know you're *going to hell* " she meant "I know you're going through hell", but it was still hysterical
One time I was helping my grandmother clear out her storage space and I found her school yearbook from 1944. I love old vintage and antique stuff so I went to my grandma and was like “Grammy, this is so cool its your yearbook!” and without hesitation she went to the back of the book and listed off all her peers that have died. Getting old is hard y’all lol
my grandma accidentally put a devil emoji after a sweet message to a family group chat, so it looked like this: " it was great seeing everyone! cant wait to see you soon 😈"
One time my grandma texted me “Watching Jimmie Fallon and he said something about twitch and playing a game. It was a bunch of blobs chasing each other and you had to find the imposters. He played with Caton and Noah from stranger things and Valkyrae who looked familiar” it is the best text I’ve ever received, I want to hang it up on my wall
I love the examples of deliberate trolling. As Russel Howard once said, "there's one thing we have plenty of, and it's old people who don't give a f*ck"
I once texted my Great-Uncle a happy birthday text and he said “Thank you, nothing. No bite no turtle no fish, jumping, nothing, onto the next spot.” Apparently he was fishing.
well my grandma once typed me a whole bunch of swear words, and after that sent me another message saying " the rudest swear words I can say to granddaughter" I treat my grandma very well and I'm a boy
I remember my grandma messaged me, deadpan, “Hotdog” featuring an image of a sculpture you’d probably find at goodwill and it was truly a life changing experience
This reminds me of when I was sick at school and my parents couldn't pick me up, so I called my grandma. I said "is this grandma?" She said "I'm somebody's grandma. Who's this?" 😂
My grandma has an ancient brick, so any text she attempts to send through SMS ends up looking like a hellspawn of random characters... that's why she calls us instead
She doesn't have a flip phone, but I think she knows how since she knows how to dial numbers. It might just be her phone being too old for smartphones to process what she's typing? I don't know

@@GingerK-ib4eq RIP to your grandma, my dude. Genuinely. Life is so short. I know this likely won’t get to you, but human to human, I wish you nothing but wellness in this life. ❤️🤟
I wish my grandparents could text me like this. Only one of them is alive and he hates technology. He'll literally take a walk to my apartment but never send a single text, which is pretty cute but I'm always worried something will happen.
My grandma said she hated texting, and would never do it herself unless absolutely necessary. She thought that if you truly needed something or wanted to talk, you should call. That’s largely why she never got a smartphone. Well, I should say she hated texting unless she stole my grandpa’s phone and texted using that, and really never called with it. Funny how she did that. Unfortunately I can’t make fun of her for it tho, she’s dead now 🙃
I still remember vividly when my grandmother pulled me aside and frantically handed me her tablet muttering “i think im hacked i saw a face pop up” I went through her tabs and it was a photo some old dude posted on her timeline with the camera right in his face. Poor lady was scared of him she was literally shaking
The only grandparent I ever talked to lives all the way in Ukraine and has dementia. She would call us from there now and then on our home phone and my mum would bring it over to me and I would hear her calling me a little rabbit and that was about all I could understand of her Russian. I hope she's doing well.
My grandma texts exactly the way she speaks, including refusing to say the word God . "OMGosh!" I just like the message that says I AM GRANDMA. The power has arisen.
I'm so glad my grandma knows how to text well. She was an english professor, and I'm majoring in english now, so we have lots of conversations about my classes. It's very nice.
My grandma somehow managed to text me a message that included nothing at all. No text, no characters and no picture. It was an empty message. How do you even send an empty message? That has to take skill
I taught my nan how to text, this was one of my favourite conversations we had. "Hello Kenzie watch out for the 🐕🐕" "The dogs? Pretty sure they'd all be asleep" "No not dogs" "I meant your brother"
My grandma once sent a news article about suicide rates at the local college to our family group chat and then immediately sent “lol” I think she was trying to lol at a cat picture someone sent higher up but she doesn’t know how to reply directly. And doesn’t know the text etiquette to clarify.
fun story: my grandma once sent me an image of a full trash container without any context. I replied with a GIF of confused guy with the text "WTF". Then she proceeds to type the name "Alice [Lastname]" 3 times (which wasn't my name) and then calls me. when I she talks about how that "Alice [lastname]" used to be kind but now she is cruel and wants to invite a stranger black man to her birthday. (the man was the guy in the GIF) that was the most confusing conversation, and I still need to know the Alice lore.
makes me way sadder than i ever thought it would. my grandparents both have dementia and the last text i received from either of them was my grandfather trying to tell me that he had been kidnapped because he was having delusions. they can't really text anymore and I miss when they would text me funny things like this
After my mother got dementia on the day we took her to be put in a nursing home, she got a little violent and started to point her cane towards the lady walking with her, and said, " I'm going to shoot you with my cane!!!" I don't know if she thought she could, or if she was just being funny. She had a good sense of humor.
I had a feeling that Matt was going to do something relating to boomer texting eventually. Grandmas are just another breed. edit: I changed my profile picture because you were all so upset over me having JellyBean on it.
Not my grandma, but my dad. My dad tends to send emojis in almost every one of his texts. I was once at work, and I texted him to bring my jacket because I forgot it. He brought it over, but he couldn't find me (I was working) so he gave it to one of my co-workers and told her to find me and give it to me (thankfully she did). But I had felt bad about my dad not being able to find me because I was busy working, so I texted him that I felt bad. My dad replied with: "Smile be 😊" "Happy 😁😁😁" in two separate messages that were sent two hours apart from each other. Gotta love him.
I lost my great grandmother this year, I used to send my drawings to her and she loved it, I teach her how to send messages and search things on RUclips, the last conversation that I had with her was via text messages and this vídeo reminded me a little of her, thanks Matt
I was at a contract bridge tournament once and my grandma sent me a message: "Great job :)". It was right after our worst match when we have lost 20-0.
I appreciate that Grandma telling her loved one to watch out for foxes, deer, koalas, gorillas, and giraffes. I, too, sometimes get into my car and use it to break down zoo security gates and then just drive through all of the different animal exhibits. Good looking out, Granny.
I'll have you know that you have become the narrating voice in my mind. It's helped a lot with pre-calc, actually. Swearing at numbers with a British accent is surprisingly effective.
the tuna salad one at the beginning could be genius though 🤔 pretend not to understand technology until your relatives give in and bring you tuna salad!!
Any kids or annoying adults in your life? Why wait? Start practicing so you're really good when it counts :D Life is short. As soon as I hit the 1/2 century mark (I have lotsa white hair; it Really impacts people's attitude/expectations), I started my old lady privilege. Tell people when they're doing a good job. Tell bosses they ought treat their workers better. Bake for a young helpful neighbor. (Turned out to be an incredible jackass & hurt decent people, but what am I, psychic?) Start sentences with "When I was young" to be able to tell people what to do or get them to appreciate how the world has improved..."we didn't have search engines. We used encyclopedias & for a curious kid, they were almost as distracting & addicting as the internet...especially if you couldn't care less about your assignment's subject..." Take age for a test drive! Do it. An old bag is telling you to.
Since a few months I've been living with my grandparents, on one hand bc of the unaffordable rent prices around here, on the other hand bc my grandparents are having some health issues and I'm glad to be able to help them in their household, with groceries, appointments and just being there to keep an eye on them. These texts remind me so much of them whenever my grandma writes me (my gramps doesn't have a smartphone lol) or when she asks me to help her out with "phone problems" (e.g. how to switch to camera settings or open your Gmail account). Bless their hearts. 💙
My grandma sends normal texts, but one time when I sent my mom a text discussing Christmas present ideas, she sent back, without acknowledging anything I said, the news that a high school classmate of mine had just died. It baffles me to this day.
When it comes to texting, I'm usually the weird one between me and my grandparents. I once saw a RUclips comment going something like "what if God came down, said 'it's pronounced Jod' and left" and I just had to share it with them. Papa asked where that question even came from.
Not grandma, mother, but the best text we’ve (sister and I) ever gotten from her was “Look at the sunset” Took her so long to tell us it was dark. So we just get “look at the sunset” and spend the next 20 minutes trying to wonder what magical land our parents were in before they got home and we were able to ask.
@@salmonellq2981 Mother tried to to text about the sunset while the sun was setting, but it took her so long to text it became nighttime before she actually sent the message.
@@AskForDoodles Oh, that actually makes more sense! I was confused too, it lack of comma in “Took her so long to tell us it was dark” that confused me. I was like “Why did your mom need to say it was dark?”
My grandma once invited me, my brother, and my dad to help her move, and by the time we got there, all the boxes were loaded into the truck and ready to go. My dad invited his friends to help out too, so to make it up to them, he took them out for a drink.
My grandma just once randomly in the middle of the night messaged me the word "squirrel". I replied with "Grandma what". She didn't text me again till my great grandfather died and I only got a picture of his grave (Most of my family is in Germany while I live in asia so I couldn't attend). She never explained why she send squirrel at like 3 AM
Hi Matt! Just wanted to let you know that I'm kinda going through a tough time lately, being extremely stressed out by exams and my mother.

Thank you tonnes, on behalf of your entire subscriber community. Stay safe and take care! ❤ Sincerely, Just another person who's extremely grateful to have you in their world.
i find it odd that a lot of these grandmas write 'lol' in their messages, when mine takes 10 years to write the message and punctuates everything with full-stops making it sound serious lol
Story time: I was being born. And my grandma had just got a phone. She had no idea how to text. But my aunt had text her saying the hospital room and other information on how to find us. My grandma wanted to make sure my aunt saw her messages. So she started typing nn ojdnd jd owmdj. She still has a hard time texting after 14 years. Sometimes you will get the occasional letter spam or a picture she took of the floor by accident. I always look forward to her texts though.
My grandma once texted me in response to my dog passing away, “Rest in peace. That is so sad 😂 LOL 💕” she meant to use the crying emoji and say “lots of love”
My aunt used the 😂 emoji when trying to indicate sadness about a deceased relative. I had to try really hard not to die laughing. "Rest in Peace I miss you so much 😂" bruh

i don’t even know if my grandma knows i exist lmao
I still remember vividly when my grandmother pulled me aside and frantically handed me her tablet muttering “i think im hacked i saw a face pop up”
I went through her tabs and it was a photo some old dude posted on her timeline with the camera right in his face. Poor lady was scared of him she was literally shaking
Oh no, GRANDMA! :(
Delete the photo or block them and tell her you got rid of him

The only grandparent I ever talked to lives all the way in Ukraine and has dementia. She would call us from there now and then on our home phone and my mum would bring it over to me and I would hear her calling me a little rabbit and that was about all I could understand of her Russian. I hope she's doing well.
I hope she's doing well as well, dude. Say hi for me once you get to talk to her, yeah?
"Hello grandma, Serotonin Scavenger says hi"
“I. A M. G R A N D M A.”
such beautiful words.
My grandma texts exactly the way she speaks, including refusing to say the word God . "OMGosh!"
I just like the message that says I AM GRANDMA. The power has arisen.
I like that too
After my grandma not texting me for a while, she sent me "She's vacuuming, shes vacuuming!!" And I didn't hear from her for another two weeks.
The only thing I even remotely would regret about not having children is not getting to be someone's crazy grandma
Don't worry, you still can be someone's crazy aunt or something like that
Goddammit, true, but you'd still be betting on if ur child creates a child too (or adopts)
you did not choose this childless life
Or being a supportive parents, but this one works as well
@@foxinabox5103 haha thats what I was thinking, some people aren't into kids tho I get it
I'm so glad my grandma knows how to text well. She was an english professor, and I'm majoring in english now, so we have lots of conversations about my classes. It's very nice.
My grandma somehow managed to text me a message that included nothing at all. No text, no characters and no picture. It was an empty message. How do you even send an empty message? That has to take skill
Grandmas know things we dont...

My grandma once sent a news article about suicide rates at the local college to our family group chat and then immediately sent “lol”
I think she was trying to lol at a cat picture someone sent higher up but she doesn’t know how to reply directly. And doesn’t know the text etiquette to clarify.
I wonder what your family was thinking about your grandma at that time...
I ruined the 100 likes
fun story:
my grandma once sent me an image of a full trash container without any context.
I replied with a GIF of confused guy with the text "WTF". Then she proceeds to type the name "Alice [Lastname]" 3 times (which wasn't my name) and then calls me.
when I she talks about how that "Alice [lastname]" used to be kind but now she is cruel and wants to invite a stranger black man to her birthday. (the man was the guy in the GIF)
that was the most confusing conversation, and I still need to know the Alice lore.
I hope you find Alice Lastname
help who is alice lastname and whats wrong with ur grandma is she possessed 😭
@@dazaifeetpics idk who Alice Lastname is 😭😭😭 all I know is that at least she is a kind person
This feels like it's going to end up somewhere in reddit.
LOLLLLL WHAT
makes me way sadder than i ever thought it would. my grandparents both have dementia and the last text i received from either of them was my grandfather trying to tell me that he had been kidnapped because he was having delusions. they can't really text anymore and I miss when they would text me funny things like this
RIP
Condolences.

After my mother got dementia on the day we took her to be put in a nursing home, she got a little violent and started to point her cane towards the lady walking with her, and said, " I'm going to shoot you with my cane!!!" I don't know if she thought she could, or if she was just being funny. She had a good sense of humor.
the “moneys short, times are hard, heres your f***cking christmas card” was so funny 😂😂😂😂
I had a feeling that Matt was going to do something relating to boomer texting eventually. Grandmas are just another breed.

3:47 😂 She’s a Genius
Appreciate it whilst it lasts. You will never know how much you'll miss them.
Not my grandma, but my dad.
My dad tends to send emojis in almost every one of his texts. I was once at work, and I texted him to bring my jacket because I forgot it. He brought it over, but he couldn't find me (I was working) so he gave it to one of my co-workers and told her to find me and give it to me (thankfully she did). But I had felt bad about my dad not being able to find me because I was busy working, so I texted him that I felt bad.
My dad replied with:
"Smile be 😊"
"Happy 😁😁😁"
in two separate messages that were sent two hours apart from each other.
Gotta love him.
Did not expect to see you here but also expected

I was at a contract bridge tournament once and my grandma sent me a message: "Great job :)". It was right after our worst match when we have lost 20-0.
Maybe losing is the best thing?
My grandma added her pastor to our family group chat, we only knew this because the pastor asked to be removed from the chat.
I appreciate that Grandma telling her loved one to watch out for foxes, deer, koalas, gorillas, and giraffes.
I, too, sometimes get into my car and use it to break down zoo security gates and then just drive through all of the different animal exhibits.

one time I got a text from my grandma that said
“The mind lingers”
it was the most random thing in the world
Since a few months I've been living with my grandparents, on one hand bc of the unaffordable rent prices around here, on the other hand bc my grandparents are having some health issues and I'm glad to be able to help them in their household, with groceries, appointments and just being there to keep an eye on them. These texts remind me so much of them whenever my grandma writes me (my gramps doesn't have a smartphone lol) or when she asks me to help her out with "phone problems" (e.g. how to switch to camera settings or open your Gmail account). Bless their hearts. 💙
When im old i wanna intentionally pretend that im technologically inept so that i can message my grandchildren the most random shit
My grandma sends normal texts, but one time when I sent my mom a text discussing Christmas present ideas, she sent back, without acknowledging anything I said, the news that a high school classmate of mine had just died. It baffles me to this day.
She killed him
One time my grandma texted me “How beat level 178 candy crush” I think she thought I was google
damn, you know its a hard level when even grandma needs help with it.
When it comes to texting, I'm usually the weird one between me and my grandparents. I once saw a RUclips comment going something like "what if God came down, said 'it's pronounced Jod' and left" and I just had to share it with them. Papa asked where that question even came from.
Was that comment from Ghost's "Honey I'm Home", perchance?

“Look at the sunset”
Took her so long to tell us it was dark.
So we just get “look at the sunset” and spend the next 20 minutes trying to wonder what magical land our parents were in before they got home and we were able to ask.
what did they say?
I don't... Understand this at all
@@salmonellq2981 Mother tried to to text about the sunset while the sun was setting, but it took her so long to text it became nighttime before she actually sent the message.
@@AskForDoodles Oh, that actually makes more sense! I was confused too, it lack of comma in “Took her so long to tell us it was dark” that confused me.

"What's the right number?" Got me 🤣🤣
My grandma once invited me, my brother, and my dad to help her move, and by the time we got there, all the boxes were loaded into the truck and ready to go. My dad invited his friends to help out too, so to make it up to them, he took them out for a drink.

Story time:
I was being born. And my grandma had just got a phone. She had no idea how to text. But my aunt had text her saying the hospital room and other information on how to find us. My grandma wanted to make sure my aunt saw her messages. So she started typing nn ojdnd jd owmdj. She still has a hard time texting after 14 years. Sometimes you will get the occasional letter spam or a picture she took of the floor by accident. I always look forward to her texts though.
