Before you add a bunch of people to a group text, take a second to learn why New Yorkers say it's causing more harm than good and why we're fed up with it.
Let’s face it, we’re living in an increasingly digital world. Even toddlers are walking around with Instagram on their smart phones. In theory this should make us the communication generation. But we’re not. Check out these great texting fails for proof!
It doesn't matter which way we spin it; breaking up stinks. (Unless, of course, you're the breaker-upper, in which case it's like a cause for celebration.)

Have you ever seen somebody share their phone number publicly (on Craigslist maybe, or one of those homemade ads for "computer lessons" on the subway) and thought to yourself "I should totally prank this guy"? You haven't? Oh, uh ... neither have we. Ever. Clearly -- we're not monsters. But the person behind Textastrophe is!

Texting while driving? Dangerous. Texting while walking? Generally just a bit impolite if you're in a crowded area.
At least, that's normally the case. If you live near a cliff, it might not be a great idea.
