my mother did this when she worked as a pharmacy technician in the 80s. woman came in and said "honey call me a cab" and my mother, IN HER 30s BTW, said "Okay! You're a cab!" and then laughed her ass off at her own joke. it's been a while since she told the story, but i think her boss had to come out and actually call for a cab
It baffles me that some (most? Even recent?) iPhones don't seem to have it. Like, you have to use some task feature, instead of just the default SMS app.
Hopefully they really did get them a taxi in addition to the funny joke, because otherwise that's kind of a dick move to make someone think you promised to do them a particular favor but not actually carry through.
It’s a funny thing called a fake text. The contact name is “Dad,” but the content implies the sender is the dad—due to the green text, and the execution of the joke being from that perspective. Alternatively, it could be a son or daughter or other form of child pulling one on their father, but it is highly likely it is merely a fake text.
It's quite simple, really. Your dad marries a younger woman, they have a child who is now your half-brother. You eventually meet her mother, and subsequently get married and have a child. You are now your father's step-father, and your child is now your father's uncle. This fellow explains it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVDyN7yO9Os

Time-delayed text messages are one of my favorite features of any modern SMS compatible messaging client. They make things like this so much easier.

I can't really see what other options there could have been.

Green is the sender? The receipent is called dad? Did the dad out-dad the dad?
lovingspace
He knew his gf was preggos before she did. Just his humor changed.
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Hi dad, I'm dad.
Zobbie
You can be a Dad and have a dad
JobbyJabber24
Your right , he obviously names his son Dad
ShooterMcGrabbin
Bullshit. You got any sources to back up this nonsense? You can't just spread disinformation on imgur and expect us all to believe it.
CrispyNougat
Yeah but the sender has the person saved as dad but the person calls the sender dad. Is he his own dad?
TheSwedishCryptid
don't kink shame people with a dad fetish :p
Zobbie
You can call your father Dad and he can call you Dad because you have his grand children.

You can? A bit recursive, don't you think? Or did someone make Back to the Future a reality without telling me about it?
