    Mine would have to be mistakenly sending a text to my Mother instead of girlfriend telling her I was masturbating thinking of her. If only there was a way of recalling texts.

    Worst was a friend of mine sending "Dave" a text about "Danny's" girlfriend basically saying how much a total c*nt she is and how pathetically whipped Danny is. Needless to say he sent it to Danny by mistake.

    Not so much embarrassing more a lesson learned.....

    Back when I was a young teenager, I was after having a disagreement with a Friend over something silly but at the time was fuming and needed to take my anger out and rant.
    So I write a long text about how this friend was a selfish b*tch, and how I couldn't stand her and bla bla bla (basically calling the girl every bad word under the sun)

    Was meant to send it to another Friend but accidentally sent it to the Friend I was ranting about :o
    She knew straight away it was about her.

    Needless to say she didn't speak to me again, don't blame her either :rolleyes: looking back it was a right c*nt thing to do !

    To this day I check I always double check my phone before sending a text.

    I was talking to my girlfriend at the time, and there was a football match starting, which my best friend and I had been waiting to watch. I was texting him that I was trying to get rid of her and I'd see him ASAP, and accidentally sent it to her. Didn't even realise until her phone buzzed 2 seconds later.

    Not really embarrassing but happens to me now and again.

    I often text people in the middle of the night that I am outside, can send it to the wrong person sometimes.

    The only thing thats beating that is if your mother posts about how she texted you back with something similar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,510 ✭✭✭Hazys


    Not a text but the worst thing i have down on my phone was accident send 100+ friend requests on the Facebook app in one button press to all my phone contacts :(

    There is a feature on the iPhone app where you can sync your phone contacts and it matches phone numbers in you contacts to FB profiles...but there is an "Add All" button which when showing my buddies i hit by accident....sending facebook requests to people at work, ex's, girls i met at a bar whos number i got but never called, my plumber, my hairdresser, neighbors, etc....SOCIAL MEDIA SUICIDE!!!

    The amount of awkward PMs i got was insane.

    Randomers from the bar "Who are you? How do i know you?". Lots added me and removed me once they had no clue who i was.

    Ex's who accepted, were either like "Oh hi, surprised you contacted me, how or you?" or decline the request, making the me look like i wanted to get back in contact and turning me down then, awkward either way.

    I now friends with a lot of people from work and neighbours who i never ever wanted to add.

    My plumber rejected it...making it too awkward for me to call him up for some work, so i had to find a new plumber lol.

    Sent my OH a text stating that we should Rendezvous at a certain location for some hanky panky.

    Could not beleive it when she turned up instead of the other one, but had a great night of passion which probably saved our relationship. Thank God.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Sent a "Do you fancy a pint 2nite?" text to my hot boss instead of a friend of mine as they were beside each other on the contact list. She replied "Yeah Love to .... xx" and it led to alot of sex during 'over time'

    Oh no wait, It actually led to her replying "Who is this" Me saying my name and department, and then some awkward apologies.........and a **** fantasy :D

    In secondary school when I was bored in class I used to play a game with my friend. Basically we'd just say random stuff, except it had to be useful and have to words (i.e. "coffee machine", "post box", etc.). If we spent too long thinking about it, you lost. Sometimes we used to do it by text as well.

    Needless to say I ended up sending the words TRAFFIC WARDEN (written in capitals) as a single text to someone I barely knew. That person must've been very confused.

    My other half managed to get a hold of my phone and changed the name of his contact details to "mam". Got a text from "mam" saying "thinking about you in bed tonight, touching myself". I was so horrified, I broke down in tears in front of the OH. He was unsure whether to cry or laugh and he then admitted he had changed the contact name and the text was a joke from him.

    My parents are separated and I have always struggled with the thought of my mam ever going out with someone else. My OH is a c*nt sometimes :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 230 ✭✭bellylint


    Had hooked up with a friend of mine called Niamh about 11 years ago, I was quite keen on her. I started working directly for the owner of the company about two weeks before the 'text'.
    I started talking to another company about working for them, had done some contract work for them and they needed someone to look after it. So they made me an offer. I texted Niamh say 'hey hows it going? hope all is well, got offered a job today think I will take it' .... unfortunately the owner of the company's name was Niall!
    Searched for NIA and hit send... need less to say my phone was ringing within about 20s.

    Damn you alphabet and the way you are organised


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14 lorna doone


    Years ago I wrote a text about this guy I really fancied, to send it to my friend. I went on and on about how sexy he was, his hair was so cute etc etc and then, of course, I accidently sent it to him. It was around the time when mobile phones were relatively new to Ireland and I remember desperately ringing Eircell Customer Care and asking them could they recall the message!
    Worst part was, he rejected me and I was in the same class as him in college.
    I double check the number when I send a text now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 553 ✭✭✭upstairs for coffee


    Quite mundane compared to others but...

    Had had a long day. Was texting the oh, when my boss text me. I promptly reply to the boss and continue texting the oh. Or so I thought. I had mistakenly sent the boss a text meant for the oh saying that my female co worker whom was being a bitch "she smells like fish and all the c**t".

    Cringe :(. Luckily still have the job :)

    this didn't happen. why are you turning AH into a house of lies?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭blue note


    I did one thing for the college newspaper that was a vox pop asking this exact question. I can't remember the answers exactly, but they weren't all that great anyway. I think one girl texted her father instead of her boyfriend that he left his underwear in her room. And I think another girl likened her boyfriend's appendage to a pool cue - again to one of her parents.

    I did that question because I had a funny one. My friend was going out with a girl I had set him up with, but was going to dump her. I texted her one evening instead of him by mistake "Jimmy, did you break up with Jenny yet?" (not real names). And he never did dump her in the end (she dumped him pretty quickly after that text!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,725 ✭✭✭seenitall


    About 11 years ago, I was bored on a bus from Sligo, so texted a friend whose house I just left, something to the tune of: "Hey, know what's funny? I got with Sean* that nite on 2nd Jan, and I had got with Andrew* on 2nd Dec! haha." Typed in her number instead of going to Contacts for some reason, except it wasn't 087xyyzwww, but 087xxyzwww. :o:o:o So when I realised, I texted the person something like: "Sorry, sent by mistake". But I never heard back from them. :(:D And I think that I did end up sending that stupid text to Sarah** again.

    *Not their real names
    **Her real name

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭bluecode


    I don't think I've sent any. But I've been on the receiving end a few times. The first one was in the early days of mobile phones when people still dialled numbers. I received a message: 'How's it hanging lover? Bet it's long and hairy!' From an unrecognised number. Naturally I was pleased and worked through a list of possibles until I realised none of them could care less about 'it'.

    I rang back and a girl answered which was a relief anyway! I just hung up. I'm too damm nice sometimes.

    But the best one wasn't mine although it was meant for me. It was from a colleague ranting about work, the boss and everything. It was a mega text too. In a massive Freudian slip he actually sent it to the boss instead of me.

    He nearly got us both fired. But luckily the boss saw the funny side eventually.

    My worst wasn't too bad.

    Was picking up a girl I was going with and text "outside now xx"

    Sent it to the mother, who replied, "good, stay there!"

    :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,082 ✭✭✭Feathers


    If you're quick, and the first message wasn't *too* specific, just send another saying "oh forgot to say, Sarah here - texting from John's phone cause I'm out of credit. Still OK for that coffee this evening?" (change names/pleasantry as required).

    Then you can say you lent your phone to colleague/mate/girlfriend who typed the wrong number.

    About 10 years ago I was working in Poland and sent a text to a girl I was seeing by mistake when it should have been to a mate.

    The text just said "we was robbed" and I was talking about a football match

    I got a reply saying "I didnt steal anything from your flat"

    Not exactly the same thing, but when I was 15 I was texting this guy off my dad's phone, and he had written back but I had left the phone down and gone up to my room to get something.
    The text was something about slathering me in his man milk!
    When I came back down, my dad was on the phone yelling and cursing and going crazy at this guy "My daughter is only 15 - You'll be getting a visit from the police" etc...
    The guy was terrified, and all he could say was "but I'm only 15 too".

    That's only gonna work if the receiver doesn't have your number, and if they don't already have it why would you care? ;)

    Apologies in advance :P

    I was once texting a friend about my period saying it was a different colour than usual, but ended up sending it to the first person on my contacts, a guy I kinda knew.

    Luckily he just replied saying "Oh, you're dying your hair??". Dunno if I even replied!
