16 Times The Middle Finger Emoji Is The Perfect Response

Remember last weekend, when that cute guy you’ve been hanging out with didn’t text you back? Remember the rage that built up inside you when you watched that little “delivered” label switched to “read,” but with no blinking grey dots indicating a response being typed? Remember the hour you spent writing a novel to text about how you don’t need him and can do so much better? An hour wasted on a stupid fight when there is Netflix to be watched and nails to be painted!

Well, pick a new show to binge watch and check out Essie’s fall collection. No more angry double texts, no more ranting paragraphs; just flip those haters the emoji bird!

Yes, the rumors are true! Thanks to Apple’s newest software update, iOS 9.1, angry iPhone users everywhere can express their rage in mere seconds. Located in the “People and Smileys” category, among a sea of assorted hand gestures, including the infamous “OK” symbol and the ever-so-popular peace fingers, the middle finger emoji fits right in.Though there are countless opportunities to use this emoji, here are 16 times in which anything other than an "F U" would fall short.

1. When mom texts you saying she’s making chicken for dinner. AGAIN

2. When your friend texts you to remind you of the homework due tomorrow

3. When your sister texts you to ask if she can borrow your new sweater AFTER leaving for school already wearing it


4. When your best friend comments on but doesn’t like your Instagram


5. When you’re locked out of your apartment and your roommates don’t answer their texts

6. When your grandma comments “such a cute photo” on a picture of you that someone else added to Facebook

7. When somebody texts “sorry, I just saw this” more than 24 hours after you sent it


8. When you think what you said was funny but no one in your group chat texts back "LOL"

9. When you have to respond to a text message break up (TMBU)


10. When friend texts you asking how you did on a test that you failed.

11. When your dad texts you wondering why the credit card bill is so high this month

12. When someone texts you saying “happy birthday” when your birthday was actually a week ago

13. When someone texts you saying “I need to tell you something” but doesn’t respond for hours when you ask what it is

14. When someone that’s picking you up texts you “here” but you walk outside and see no cars

15. When your friend is taking the same class, but an earlier section, and doesn’t warn you about a pop quiz

16. When someone you hate texts you “love ya”

So, sassy girls unite and rejoice over this miracle that Steve Jobs has sent from the heavens. This tiny little cartoon will change our generation. You know what they say... a picture is worth 1,000 words.

PS: There are some other highly notable new emojis that came along with the middle finger. Some honorable mentions include the taco, the unicorn, the hot dog, and the robot.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
