Why #textdoorneighbour has been trending on Twitter
So in case you missed it, #textdoorneighbour has been trending on twitter for the past day.
The idea behind it is to text the number that is one digit up or down from your own phone number and introduce yourself. A lot of people (a lot of bored people) decided to give it a try and some of the results are hilarious.
so snapchat said that messaging you 'text door neighbor' is the new fun thing to do... I don't recommend :( pic.twitter.com/XsdMGCT409

This guy was really not feeling it.
So I tried the text door neighbor thing. Apparently the person wasn't too friendly 😂 pic.twitter.com/rxPLMwIsoY

If things go south, just pull out the "wrong number" card.

Shit got real very quickly here.
Of course, there are some people that got no love at all.
I sent a text to my #textdoorneighbour on both sides and haven't had a response. It feels like Valentine's Day all over again.
