Send Your Friends a
Text Citation

A humorous prank tool from the makers of GnarShare

Sick of sending a text to someone, then waiting ages to get any or no response? The Text Message Etiquette Committee is here to help. Use our tool to entrap the offender into a response.

How It Works

ACT 1

A friend doesn't respond to your text. Despite being the kind of person who spends half the day on their phone. Get very annoyed.

ACT 2

We generate you a fake article and URL masquerading as a local publication with an eye-popping headline about them to get their attention. Choose from articles about a Lottery, a Prize, a Wanted request, or if you're really twisted - an Obituary.Self-centered people can't resit reading anything about themselves. The citation is lurking inside...

ACT 3

Paste the generated URL into your text message. The preview will trick them into opening it. Our citation will trigger 10 seconds after they start reading.Go crack a beer and await the response.

ACT 4

Bask in receiving either a sincere apology or a "you're such a dick" response. Either way, you win.

Reviews

My crush wouldn't text me back until I sent them this - now we're going on a date this weekend!

Roy

Sent it to my landlord after three ignored maintenance requests. Fixed within the hour.

Priya

Honey I don't think this is a very nice way to go about getting people's attention.

Mom

Dude what the actual fuck

Josh

10/10, would be legally threatened by a fake committee again.

Deshawn

*insert humorous review here*.

Veronika

Create Your Own!

The respondent has been observed to be "online."

The Fine Print

Links exist for 24 hours — if they don't open it by then, they're beyond hope.

We used AI to write some of the slop articles and to make the fake banner ads.

Not responsible for any strained relationships, break-ups, excommunications or group-text drama that may ensue.

Use at your own risk.
