According to a Reddit post Tuesday morning on r/pics, a dad had slipped a note under her daughter's bedroom door that appeared to display a series of text messages.

It wasn't a transcription of messages from a friend. Rather, the dad wanted to show that he really cared about his daughter, and he wondered why she wasn't answering him.

The thread inspired a series of comments, many just about the quality of the T-Mobile network.

The note had revealed the "phone" was on T-Mobile -- a detail that is known to be a screenshot faux pas. It got quite heated.

Thankfully, the note had great Wi-Fi reception.

Nice job, Daddio. We're sure she'll remember those painful texts next time.
