If you look through old texts on anybody’s phone, you’ll find a rich tapestry that illustrates some truth about who that person is. This is a massive shift from where texting was a mere 20 years ago. Back then, Ryan Seacrest had to beg us to text our votes for the next American Idol. Not to mention, many of us had texting limits back then. These days, unlimited texts are not a feature; they’re expected. You’re too young for me if you never got in trouble for texting over 200 times in one month. 

We usually aren’t privy to other people’s texts unless you’re a nosy Nancy, snooping on your partner’s or your kids’ devices. That’s why it can be incredibly entertaining to take a look through the scandalous texts of strangers that they have anonymously and voluntarily posted onto the internet.
