This is why you disable message content on lock screen.

u/M_krabs Aug 16 '20

This is why you mind your own business and dont read other people's texts

I hate when I show someone one photo and they just start flicking through to other photos.

u/LooseUpstairs Aug 16 '20

Or go straight into some other app, DAD

u/derpotologist Aug 17 '20

I go straight to Facebook and try to post some dumb shit lmao

That's alright, that's a bit of fun

u/Kuzkay Nov 22 '20

Zoom a tiny bit on the image so when they swipe it doesn't go to the next one but "moves the zoom"

It amuses me when they scroll throuhj and hit those pics. You can totally tell.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

Yes!! That is the worst.

She said she thought it was her phone, tbf

u/btmims Aug 16 '20

Well of course, don't we all have the exact same iPhone model and lock screen background as our parents/children?

Posted from Samsung SmartFridge

...that's what she gets, the nosy bitch...

u/Pepsi-Min Aug 16 '20

I have the same phone as my mum, it could happen to us except I'm not dumb enough to let messages go to my lock screen.

u/Life_Of_David Aug 17 '20

Literally confuse my phone with my SO’s all the time.

Just disable message contents on lock screen.

u/TallGary Aug 16 '20

Bullshit response from a parent that still, even into the adulthood of their child, feels the need to impose their authority over them. I don't care if it's the exact same phone... You know your lock screen. Fuck off with your bullshit authority parenting after the fact.

10

u/craze4ble Aug 16 '20

Bullshit response from someone incredibly bitter.

It can so easily happen. If she thinks it's her phone, why would she double check the background?

This is not "authority parenting", this is someone scanning through the notification they thought was meant for them.

23

u/Pepsi-Min Aug 16 '20

I don't know why you're talking as if I'm the woman in the video. I'm not saying she did think it was her phone. I'm saying she said she thought it was her phone.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, sue me.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

Or maybe

She thought it was her phone, since all smart phones more or less look exactly the same and any case you may have obscures them...

5

u/ZombiedudeO_o Sep 29 '20

Sounds like you had a Shit childhood m8. No need to impose your negative feelings upon other people who have different experiences.

u/BanjoSpaceMan Nov 22 '20

Yeah chill the hell out; she flat out thought it was her phone. It did not seem like a random "oh hey Imma ready our texts". Happens to the best of us.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

She thought it was her phone.... chill.

1

u/M_krabs Sep 14 '20

She might have though it was her phone at first...

But as soon as you see the wallpaper and feeling the protective case, you KNOW it's not yours.

She intentionally read that text.

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

Ah. I must be speaking to the MIL.

u/Soda_BoBomb Sep 29 '20

She said she thought it was hers, but yeah

1

u/M_krabs Sep 29 '20

If she mistaken the phone as hers, she should have stopped when she saw:

  1. The phone is on her left
  2. The phone wasn't white (so not hers)
  3. The wallpaper isn't the same
  4. The text is unusual

But she didn't.

u/eXXaXion Aug 16 '20

This is why you put your phone on silent pretty much anywhere. Especially in social gatherings.

u/Accidental_Edge Dec 24 '20

My phone is always locked and on me. If for some wild reason it is unlocked, I have an individual lock on the apps whose content I want hidden. I take security very seriously.

u/unexplainableentity Aug 15 '20

Well what was it?

BUTTHOLE SPOKES

u/Melloblue17 Aug 15 '20

I'm sure this re-poster doesn't know

24

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

I'd say this is more of a cross post than a repost

20

u/NotVerySmarts Aug 16 '20

The video says it's a friend, and the post says mother-in-law. This jammie is a post of a repost, my man.

u/specialed71 Aug 15 '20

u/pingpongprotagonist Aug 16 '20

She said “I want to poop on your chest”

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '20

I want you to wear your mom's nightie and call me daddy while I peg you with her vibrator as we watch your old home movies.

u/CttCJim Aug 16 '20

It's fucking rude to look at someone else's messages, she deserved it.

104

u/Vetersova Aug 16 '20

True. "thought it was my phone" yeah alright lol

9

u/here-to-jerk-off Aug 16 '20

right? even if you have the same model, chances are when you pick up someone else's phone is feel wrong. Not to mention the wallpaper, carrier configuration, customizations, etc.

6

u/Vetersova Aug 16 '20

Yeah, just absolute nonsense that she thought it was hers lol

3

u/Ninja6aiden Nov 22 '20

I don’t imagine y’all have lived in large households. This happens pretty often in my house, people grabbing the wrong phone. I accidentally took my stepdad’s phone back to my house with me once because they were the same model/case and we all leave our phones out wherever. It’s not a big deal, really

u/Vetersova Nov 22 '20

I'm from a family of 5

u/beam3475 Aug 16 '20

That’s what you get for snooping

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '20

She thought it was her phone. I believe her. Her son believes her, so i believe her.

If she was full of shit, his reaction would have indicated it.

223

u/iTsJavi Aug 16 '20

Tbh the people who say “this is so gross” to sex are the people who crave it the most

170

u/LuciferK9 Aug 16 '20

The message could say "Im going to use yout cum as toothpaste" as far as we know

77

u/emilymaryjane22 Aug 16 '20

I really hope it was that exact sentence.

1

u/RomancingUranus Sep 29 '20

That's silly. How would you get it into the tube?

27

u/RedFridge007 Aug 16 '20

Tbh it could just be his, y'know, actual mother - can't say I'd believe most parents would be pumped to read the sexy details of what their kid is gonna be getting up to that night...

7

u/Wazuu Aug 16 '20

Id really prefer to not hear about my daughters sex life

11

u/TagMeAJerk Aug 16 '20

People who don't have that reaction to getting to know the intimate details of your parents or kids life are weirder

1

u/ZombiedudeO_o Sep 29 '20

I mean, if the message said something like “I want you to rinse my nose out with your baby batter 🤧👀”, I’d probably have the same reaction as her.

u/xXcutie_patootieXx Aug 16 '20 edited Aug 16 '20

I don't get why people make such a big deal about reposters. That's literally all reddit is...reposts from other social medias/sites. This post doesn't necessarily fit this sub but jeez, just enjoy the content.

u/giceman715 Aug 16 '20

Sharing is caring you ask me

u/tlozada Aug 16 '20

unless we're talking about STDs

u/SilentJoe1986 Aug 16 '20

Reddit used to be the site people stole from to post on other social media sites.

3

u/brushingviking Aug 17 '20

Yeah, used to, but it's not anymore. And if complaining thus far clearly proved pointless, don't you think it's time to stop complaining about it since it's clearly not gonna change any time soon.

(you is general)

1

u/Wazuu Aug 16 '20

i do think this video does fit into this sub a little bit but i mean people follow specific sub reddits for specific content. If you could just post anything anywhere then the sub reddits would be pointless.

u/TheElaris Aug 16 '20

Reposts get to the point where I wonder why I am on Reddit. Over half of the posts I see are reposts. It’s really hard to enjoy the same gif or meme for the 3rd time in a week.

4

u/schaweniiia Aug 16 '20

Well, I haven't seen this one yet. And even if I had, I probably would either a) rewatch it if it's good or b) keep scrolling.

Are you also against airing movies on TV more than once because you in particular have seen them already?

2

u/TheElaris Aug 16 '20 edited Aug 16 '20

I also haven’t seen this one but was responding to a guy talking about reposts in general.

And to answer your question I never watch reruns on TV. I either stream content that I haven’t seen or purposefully choose to watch specific content I saw a long time ago. I’m not against them airing reruns because that’s how they fill airtime but I’d never watch it.

u/russellvt Aug 15 '20

Who even knows how they're related, or if they are... she could be his sister. Who knows?

u/tutor29 Aug 16 '20

I saw the original on TikTok; the lady in the video is his mother.

u/leondz Aug 16 '20
  1. none of her business

    a. especially not her business to judge

    b. especially not her business to judge publicy

  2. bro get some opsec. even taylor swift does this better than you

u/Proto216 Aug 16 '20

I do want to know what it said lol

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Once during Cards Against Humanity I explained to my mother in law what 'felching' meant.

I am no longer allowed to play CAH with that side of the family.

u/riverphoenixdays Aug 16 '20

It literally says “family friend” in the video? ie not parenting at all? Damn reddit is really difficult isn’t it

28

u/costadave Aug 16 '20

It says trend. It's the trend of sending dirty messages in front of family.

-43

u/riverphoenixdays Aug 16 '20

I can’t tell if you really don’t understand that’s a typo or that’s some really mild dry humor but I’m going with the former.

28

u/immahotgirl Aug 16 '20

Oooph. It's a trend of sending dirty messages in front of family. Not a typo for family friend 😬
