    ...To the wrong person?

    I don't think I have ever done it personally.

    If so, what was it?

    I did this just a few hours ago. I sent a text to my boyfriend telling him how insanely gorgeous he is to my best friend. She didn't reply.

    not saying lad.. but yeah. lots - wrong number. damn webtext, too spontaneous


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    many. mostly when i was under the influence of black bush whiskey. ie. blind and mental


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭MsJenjers


    Was texting one of my friends bitching about this girl and accidentally sent it to the girl in question. Not good!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Facebook, boards, your mobile and so on should be locked out when you are drunk, for your own good

    "Come here and I'll tell ya, I love you and always have" :rolleyes:

    I don't use Gmail but I've heard they have some test you pass to log in, seems a good idea

    Friends don't allow friends to drink and text

    I once sent a text explaining to a friend of mine why I wasn't inviting another friend out for a drink..........to the friend I wasn't inviting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    God Yeah, sent loads of texts to people that weren't meant for them (slagging them off).

    Sent one to a girl (not meant for her) saying I wanked over her. Oops :o

    A friend of mine did this, explaining why she didn't want to go to the debs with someone...he was less than impressed.

    I do it all the time, webtext is not my friend.

    Did it once, was supposedly texting my brother telling him how things went with a certain girl, but sent it to her instead. Cue her calling me a few minutes later; luckily things went well and I said nothing bad in it. Turned out she was happy with what I said so it was ok in the end. :)

    I've done it countless times, usually when drunk :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    Sent one to a workmate about what a tool my area manager was, and of course sent it to the area manager

    Thing is that he was a really nice fella, I was just in sh*t form. He rang and said he was coming down that day to talk to me, I thought I was in trouble and he brought me into the office and apologised to me and got me a Motorola V3 Razor phone before they were even on the market

    I felt like a pr1ck after and deservedly so

    I also left her a drunk voicemail telling her I'd do her 'up the bum'.



    She's not at all scared of me...

    dont say it was your school teacher, or granny:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    I didnt, but my mate did.

    He had just started a relationship with this girl who he was absolutely crazy about, they are still going strong, and I like to think its because she never got this text. Me and a few mates went down to Galway for a 21st, he ended up going back to the hostel early, and I txt him to see where he was, he was also texting the girl at the time and so he started txting me telling me he was back, and the drink took over so I got this:

    "Yeh I'm back... Dont know when I can txt again but I know you're absolutely incredible! I love you so much baby!! You're amazing, love you like crazy xxxx"

    Needless to say he got alot of stick ie. "Can you pass the bottle opener?" "Yeah, here." "Thanks, your incredible, love you like crazy."

    yep along the lines of this.. residue from who i was just writing about :o

    stamped it out now.. i hope!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    "Hey sweetie, last night was amazing..can't wait to see you later"

    To my uncle...who's name begins with the same letter my boyfriend's does.

    Why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭evillive


    so i once went out with a siobhan and then went out with a sinead, so one evening drafted a saucy text to sinead went into contacts screen zipped through the 's' picked the contact and hit send - it went to siobhan, of course i got a pretty interesting wtf? reply, which i had to reply to

    moral of the story, never have ex girlfriend and current girlfriend side by side on your phone address book (or alternatively delete, delete, delete ex's numbers)

    could have been worse, could have sent it to me ma!!! i'd never go home then - EVER


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    you don't have to be drunk for this one.
    Simply writing about a certain person has them on your mind and you send it on autopilot to the last person on your mind...that person!!! :mad::(

    The only other embarrassing texts I've sent were "accidentally on purpose" ones! :p

    well.. i sent a "don't ever think i don't need you. light of my life, don't ever go out on me alright" to my mam's boyfriend. who i never text'd or talked to prior.

    Kevin / Kenei whats the difference :o

    You're telling me... I accidentally sent a dirty text to everyone in my contacts list that was only meant to be seen by the girl I was seeing at the time. I got a reply from almost every single person in the list :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 357 ✭✭ingo1984


    a few years ago i was seeing this girl, wasnt really into her all that much. anyway, we were texting each other arranging a trip to the cinema for that evening when i got a text off one of the lads wanting to go out on a session. i text back saying "ah cant have to meet your one to go to the cinema, really couldnt be arsed to be honest. the sooner i ditch her the better" instead of sending it to him, i sent it to her. that was the end of that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    Back in my younger days I had two wimmins on the go at the same time. Both asked to meet for a drink one night so I texted my buddy gloating that I had certain "choices" after college. Sent it to one of the girls. Didn't have two wimmin on the go after that anymore. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,449 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    I sent a message to my ex that was meant for my current girlfriend about how good she was in bed.

    I can actually get away with that excuse, my local is own by a guy who's nickname is Spider! :p:D


    But yea sent one to an ex when pissed on a night out in cork, and spend the entire next day trying to explain myself, ended up meeting up with her another few times, and then after a short while realised again that she's an absolute b*tch. :o

    Another ex sent me a text after going out with her for a couple of weeks that was meant to be sent to her friend saying she thinks she might love me, got a call straight away asking me not to open it, i convinced her i didnt, but curiosity got to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Yep. I work with a guy called Alan, and a while back was seeing a guy called Alan.

    While on a business trip I sent bf text describing what I'd do if he were in the hotel room with me - and proceeded to send it to the guy I work with, who was in his own room, about two doors down! :eek:

    The worst part was realising my mistake as soon as I pressed send - screaming at the phone NO! NO! Cancel, cancel you fúcker. Please don't send!

    *Beepbeep, beepbeep* "Delivered to x". Oh fcuk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Compiled a PM re. someone I was going to drop the ban hammer on but I wanted to run it past other moderators first.

    I knew this person in real life too, so I was asking another Mod to do the dirty deed so I wouldn't be taking sh*t...

    You've guessed it - I sent it to the person I wanted banned :mad:

    The big ol' chicken sh*t bastard I am sometimes :( - in fairness it was a girl, and I wasn't going to suffer her wrath!.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    yup, sent a text to my friends dad asking him did he wanna come over for a joint and a ride :o off her phone..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica


    Was over at a mates drinking and send a dirty text to my girlfriend. Or so i thought, 3 seconds after I press send my mate sitting next to me gets a text... ****e....

    obviously he read it out to everyone :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭YoureSoVain


    Sent a filthy text to a boyfriend and accidently sent it to a girl I work with. Realised straight away and sent another text saying "joking, well girl how are you" . She never mentioned other text after so I think she thought it was deliberate, cos if she realised the truth she would be the kind of personn to NEVER let me live it down !

    Dunno if this qualifies....

    My sisters name is Emer so she's in my phone as Emo (that's what we call her), We have a mate called Emma who we all call Emmo.

    Anyway lads get my phone in the pub one day while I'm in the jacks and send an absolutely filty message to our mate Emmo.... or so they think.

    Half an hour on the phone explaining to my sister what felching is and why I do NOT want to do that to her.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭irishejit


    Not one myself but a female friend of mine was down visiting us. We were all in the pub when she decided to text the young man she'd picked up the night before.

    Queue the text "Last night was brilliant, hope to see you again tonight for some more fun ;)"

    Two seconds later the look of horror went across her face as she realised she'd sent it to her boyfriend who she hadn't seen for a week!

    Nope, havent done it myself, but I got one a while back.

    I was on local radio discussing an upcoming event, and while on air, got a text from a disgruntled performer we left off the bill going "The fcuking prick is on the radio now"
    The explanation I got when I rang her took about ten minutes and got ropier every second :pac: to which I replied "Yaaaaaaa. Ok. Bye" and hung up. She avoids me now :D:D

    My Nokia 3510 had a dickie "2 and 4" button that had to be pressed really hard to actually work. I was texting a girl i like , "hows the Head" after a night of drinking . But i unfortunately sent " hows the gee "


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Yep. Spent a night with an ex after splitting up a few months earlier.

    Text her the next day saying that it was a great night we spent together in bed and we should do it again no strings attached sometime.

    Bought a new phone the day before and had only manged to get about 30 numbers transferred across. Sent this message to all 30 people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,897 ✭✭✭MagicSean


    Fell asleep in the middle of texting my gf one night. Woke up in the middle of a dream and finished the text with nonsense. She got a message which started off well but finished with me accusing her of stealing a barrel of beer from my restaurant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,075 ✭✭✭IamtheWalrus


    I used to have this nympho fuk buddy and she used to send me dirty pics on request. I sent her a text saying 'Pussy or asshole pic?'. A girl my friend was kinda seeing at the time replied saying 'What?'.

    I joked that it was meant for one of the lads and it was out of context. She replied 'Ok, I believe you, you dirty little pervert'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭pawrick


    used to get texts the whole time from a friends house mate meant for her bf who had the same name as me. I'm never shaking hands with either of them ever!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    While working in Chartbusters a few years back, i used a co-workers phone to text a friend (Andrew) who was working with us at the time. Was just trying to cause some harmless trouble on a boring day, and sent a message saying 'I want to bang your brains out' or something like that.

    Her brothers name was Andrew :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,288 ✭✭✭pow wow


    Too many to count. Usually involving a wrong digit in the number of the latest hot piece of a$s I want to sext. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,883 ✭✭✭smokedeels


    Google have a feature on gmail, if you send an email at an unusual time it asks you a simple maths problem.

    I can't imagine being drunk enough to send an embarrassing message while still having the gumption to power on my laptop, wait, access the internet and login to gmail, that in itself would be a deterrent.

    Still, the phone companies should look at this feature.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    Yes. Dear lord that was embarrassing. Text was supposed to be for the wife. Sent it to a friend by mistake. She wasn't impressed.
