ADDING emojis is the perfect way to jazz up a boring text message.
But sadly, these people couldn't be trusted to pick the right emoticon for their texts - with hilarious results.
Some parents failed to grasp what the different graphics really meant, leaving their kids feeling baffled.
While some sent unwittingly rude messages, one mum mistook the monkey emoticon for a pancake.
Adding a crying laughing face to a message of condolence probably didn't go down too well either.
It'll be hard not to crack a smile when you look through the biggest emoji fails of all time...
Making a bit of a boob
Map's unfortunate
What a numbskull
Not the pawfect choice
This one fell as flat as a pancake
Not very appropriate for the con-text
Knife to meet you
Cat's amazing
Deadly decision
Choc horror
What the cluck?
A far cry from the truth
