Replying to Fucking text message symbols

I fucking can't stand how when you send a text message, there's a failed sign, and a checkmark meaning it definitely sent, but half the time it's just that stupid purple arrow that can go either way. Now i'm sitting here not knowing if my response to the hottie i bagged last night (/claim, fuck you) sent or not, and im sure as fuck not gonna risk sending it twice and looking pathetic..

life's rough man. but seriously, they need to fix this shit
