Despite having more ways to communicate with each other than ever, some people have still not grasped the basic art of sending appropriate messages.

And now people from around the world have taken to Reddit to share the most bizarre texts they've ever received.

Among them is one person whose date needed constant reassurance that she was going to turn up, despite her confirming the date the night before, and that morning. 

Meanwhile, a tenant reported that their hot water wasn't working, and had to get creative when the landlord asked for a picture to prove it.

Elsewhere, a woman was just trying to sell a bikini online, when she received a creepy request from a man. 

Confusion! People from around the world have taken to Reddit to share the most bizarre texts they've ever received. Including this student in the US who gave her a boyfriend a mini heart attack 

Among the other messages is one where mother was trying to send her daughter a sentimental 18th birthday text, but was unfortunately one day late.    

Elsewhere, a clueless boss refused to let his employee bring a bigger bag into work, but her response quickly quietened him.
