Your biggest phone boo-boo

Solnskaya

I once rang my boss(now ex-boss)on his mobile and got his voice mail, so I just "hung-up" and loudly took the pi55-"Hoi, this is xxx, I cnut come to the phown roish now cos I've vanished up moi own hole, arrognant pric2k that oi am", and then I heard the beep from the "hung-up" phone and the sweet recorded voice informing me that my message had been left. I hadn't quite hit the red button like I thought. Never could look him in the eye again,and I noticed he was distinctly cooler:Dwith me than before, but nothing was ever said. Ever fecked up with your mobile??

Mr.Crinklewood

Dropped call to Yogi once.

I went to college with a real weird guy. He was a total control freak and we just couldn't shake him. He used to turn up outside my lectures becaue he had memorised my timetable and knew where I should be.

I had an exam one day when he had no lectures. Sure enough when I finished and walked outside there he was. He asked me several times to join him for breakfast( exam was at eight) but I made my excuses and legged it. I sent a text to a college mate saying 'xxxxx tried to get me to go for breakfast but I escaped wtf is he doing here'

Naturally I sent it to xxxxx Got a reply back saying ' was that for me?'

Turned out to be a good thing as he kept his distance from me after that.

All the same I was still mortified

Needler

A lecturer once called me. They never called me before and I had some messer a few days earlier calling me so I answered in my best Apu from Kwik-E-Mart Indian accent:

"HwalllooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO?????!!!!!"

"Hi can I speak to Needler please?"

".... This is Needler"

When I was 18 I was kinda dating a girl a little, when I say dating, I mean I went on one date and for some reason she kept texting me. Anyway, I wanted it to kinda stop, cos I was bored of the texting. So I text her one day after a mate had told me to do it something to the tune of "It's over" but in a very nice way.

Then I text a mate after, "Just got rid of the bitch, ya proud of me :P" and you guessed it, I sent it to her. In my defence their names were right next to eachother. Saw her once after it and avoided, not sure what happened to her now, can't even remember her name actually.

Sound asleep one night after drinking and smokin a few joints. Phone rang, I awoke very confused and thought it was my alarm and I had to go to work, answered the phone and asked whoever it was what the time was. They said "what? I dunno about half 2, let me in will ya!". **** thinks I I'm late for work I'll be killed. Got up in a blind panic, grab a t-shirt thinking it was my pants. Managed to get my legs through the arms as I made my way down the stairs. Stopped at the bottom wondering why it wouldnt stay up, heard a knock at the door and opened it.

There was a few friends plus a couple strange and confused lookin ladies. Here was I in the doorway wearing my t-shirt for a pants looking terrified. I came around after a few seconds and realised what had happened. Got really pissed off, told them they were a shower of bastards and waddled back upstairs to bed.

I think she posts in PI a lot .

Mr. Denton

Once had a mate who was having major hassles from his burd. She was threating to dump him and how "she had better offers etc". Anyway I was in the pub one night and he was bending my ear about it and frankly I was getting quite bored with it because I didn't like the bitch and thought this guy was a cool bloke and could do better.

As the session goes on I'm getting pretty drunk. The mate goes off to the jacks for a wee-wee. When he went off to the jacks I take his phone and ring her home number to give her a bit of my mind. All I get is her voicemail (she lived at home so it was her dads voice on the greeting message).

Anyway, several abusive messages later to her and her dad and I've got it out of my system. Mate comes back and tell him what I just did. He didn't seem to mind too much. However I must have said something fairly colourful as it turned out the da was demanding my mate pass my ID onto him as he wanted to get the Gardai involved.

No, but I do have a story about a Louise that I won't be telling. haha

Einhard

Sitting in the pub with this guy who's not exactly the most sociable of people, and after one of many long silences, I texted other friends who were up the road, and told them to hurry down before I died of boredom, and slowly turned to stone. I may also have called the other guy's intelligence into question in the text. Sent it off anyway, only for the phone on the table to bleep. I knew straight away that it was my text, and I could only watch as he reached for the phone, picked it up, slowly read it, and then raised his eyes to where I was sitting with a goofy smile on my face. All I could think of was to pretend it was a joke, and that I meant it for him. Was mortified. The worst was that the other guys didn't arrive for another hour or so, so had to just sit there in silence until they arrived.

Kevin Duffy

Signed a long contract with O2. Awful boo-boo that.

I got a text from a boss one Sat morning at 2am saying "I love you".

On monday morning I had a quiet word with him and showed him the text, he nearly fainted and start shaking.

Turns out his missus sent the text. ****ed up.

Solnskaya

I also make sure my mobile is firmly "keypad locked" now, cos the feckin thing has dialled out while in my pocket-one guy rang me and said I should lock my phone when not using it cos i had dialled his number by accidnt-I had spent the last half hour telling my mate what a tosser i thought this guy was:o another picture and no sound when i met him the next time.

deathrider

Not quite the same thing but-

Years ago when I was living back home, and mobile phones were pretty much unheard of (back in the ice-age), I got a wrong number call on the house phone in the middle of the night saying "Heya, can I get a taxi to <insert name of nightclub here> please?" So I told them there'd be one there in five minutes and hung up- And went back to bed proud as punch.

Goldenegg

When myself and himself first started going out, I decided to text him a lovely message of what was gonna happen that night and how I couldn't wait etc... Click send....DAD! $hit $hit $hit! In fairness mr.goldeneggs first name begins with D.

Next day I called down to my parents, and decided to face the music. My dad said..."did you get up to anything last night?"
Me- "no, just went to the cinema". AWKWARD!

Ha I love doing this my family phone number is very similar to a local pizzeria. We've taken many orders, and wound up many people especially when you do accents and put them on 'pretend hold' with live music. It's amazing the crap people with put up with when they hear a foreign accent!

A likely story!

Out drinking with a friend, who was an extraordinarily attractive girl and always got attention from guys. She was off flirting with random guys, leaving me by myself. So, rather annoyed and cranky, I sent a text to another friend saying, "out with X, she's being flirty and slutty as usual", only for X's phone to beep.

.. that became a very awkward night.

Turned the language on my sisters phone to Arabic. She was not happy.

Also another time I knocked the same sister's phone (different phone) into a cup of cold hot chocolate. Phone was fucked

Chuck Stone

Well... I was in the pub with Johhny Depp and Shane McGowan and as we were on our 5th or 6th pint, I'm not sure we were having too much fun, I said 'guys I need to go back to my penthouse appartment to get changed and make some very important business calls but I'll be back shortly - just gonna text my chauffeur'.

So I picked up my phone and start texting 'Ma, will you come and collect me please? I'm hungry and need to change my clothes. Don't forget to have my dinner ready with the meat cut up and the potatoes mashed how I like 'em'

Guess what?

I sent that text to the lads by mistake...

I hope he drove you through the wall in the bedroom after getting a text like that

Chris Hansen

Not really a boo boo:

Got a text off this doll i was seeing at the time, think Carly or something was her name, anyway i was getting a bit bored of her as she wasnt giving it up after the first date, anyway, due to meet her one evening for the second time when i get a text saying that shes bringing her S&M bondage gear and was telling her sister to meet us at hers afterwards for a three some, the text obviously meant for her sister.

Not even my mistake, got a call one night about midnight or slightly past

An angry Dad demanding to speak to her daughter and how I was talking advantage of her and he was going to come around and batter me.

From what I figured out his hussy of a teenage daughter had shacked up with some lad in his twenties, the dad was furious and the mother sick with worry

I got even more threats and demands.

Wrong number :rolleyes:

Now if I were sharp and witty I would have played along and told him all the things I was going to do with his daughter. Durty :pac:
Alas I'm not witty and I didn't say anything as I was stunned into silence with the abuse coming over the phone

Balfie

I was talking to my mate one day on the phone, an couldn't hear anything he was saying, it was really low, I was asking had he got me on speaker? Nope, check the volume on my phone, to realise I had the phone to my ear backwards.

you should have tried calling his number but ......................... actually if i write it down i could get in trouble, but there is a simple way of checking and deleting voicemails before the other person has a chance to hear them

provided they have not changed the preset password provided to them by their operator

Did you or do you work for News International by any chance?

deathrider

I remember ringing on of my mates (lets call him Tommy) years ago. He was walking home alone in the middle of the night at the time. When his phone rang it was in his pocket. While walking the answer button must have gotten pressed without him realizing that it had even rang. Of, course, I'm on the other end of the hearing nothing but pocket noises, so I'm trying to get his attention by going "Tommy? Tommy? Answer me, Tommy! TOMMY!!" Little did I know at the time that he was standing there on his own, in the middle of the street, freaked out and going "Where's that voice coming from???"
I was in stitchs the next day when he told me.

And they call it hacking!:rolleyes:

All that coding is so tricky. 5

Solnskaya

I'd bet there are far more people who have fecked up textually more so than just dialling the wrong number- It's just waay to easy to press send when the wrong person is selected. I'm the worlds slowest texter. so I send very few but watching my son, who receives about literally 100 a day and sends just as many, cock ups have to occur.

djPSB

Mate of mine was trying to break up with a girl and was meaning to send this to one of the lads:

'how am I going to break up with her?'

But accidentally send it to her.

They're still together

Solnskaya

I wonder how often these type of mistakes are "deliberate", even if just subconciously?

I got a similar call once - a girl rang me one Sunday morning. She refused to accept that she had the wrong number, and assumed I was some random girl answering her boyfriend's phone and kept asking me "Where's Sean, ye tramp?! Put him on right now!". When I told her she had the wrong number, she said "We'll see about that yeh whore!" - and pressed "redial".

The poor guy probably hadn't even done anything and got a grilling over the random girl who answered his phone...

pragmatic1

Sent a text to the person the text was about. Nothing bad, was just worried about the lad. Still very uncomfortable when I met him after.
