Spamming her with pics instead of texts is sure to make her annoyed. When she texts you, pick a funny photo out of your library and send that instead. If she questions it or asks why you sent that, pick another silly photo to send. Keep it up until she’s raging mad!
- You could also use funny gifs or short videos if you have them on hand.
- Or, try sending her a gif of the iMessage typing bubble. It will look like you’re crafting a long message, when in reality, you aren’t texting her back at all.

Make up a new word.

Act like it’s a totally normal word to use in everyday sentences. Come up with something funny, like “glorb” or “grunkle.” Then, throw it into conversation and act totally normal when she texts back confused. Try something like:
- “Hey, have you seen my glorb anywhere?”
- “Would you mind bringing my grunkle when you come over later?”
