I have tens of thousands SMS messages just sitting there. And those are from Microsoft 2FA system alone, they grow by the hundreds weekly no matter how much I tell them to "trust me on this device" or "do not ask again for the next 7 days" or any other possible way to have fewer of them. I despair.
I spend a lot of time carefully checking my messages to ensure they are not misunderstood. On reflection at a later date, I find they are completely unintelligible even if the whole string is there.
"In my head, I had inadvertently become the star of my own sitcom. At that moment, the in-laws turned up unexpectedly at the front door, my trousers fell down as I was pushing a sheep into the wardrobe and the vicar walked in."
Don't forget the polka dot underwear. Details are important. - B. Rix, Esq.

Ah. Reminds me of the pseudo language that appeared in SMS/Textos due to T9 predictive entry.
Classics such as,
"Your mother pucks coal in hell."
and
"Dual Off."
Missed opportunity Dabbsy, you could have made a fortune selling that original SMS as an NFT.
Trying to remember now the last time I got an SMS that wasn't MFA verification or a reminder about a prescription/doctor/dentist appointment.

Drop it off by hand.
