If you have no idea what actual miscommunication is, then consider it as inviting all the wrong people to your party. This is to all those times when you send your friend a simple text and they reply as though they have just completed decrypting the Da Vinci Code. Or when one attempts to make a point and only makes things more complicated than they can be.

We have all had those moments where something is said and all we can do is stare blankly, understanding absolutely nothing, and being left staring at each other in the wake of this verbal barrage. However, there is nothing like a meme to perfectly portray miscommunication.

So get ready to laugh at the suffering of the bad texts, mixed signals, and misunderstanding messages — because here are 15 memes showing that miscommunication can be the ultimate humor.
