Sending an email/text to the wrong person.

Fat Christy

So I accidentally sent an email to the wrong person today. I sent the below youtube video with the caption 'Important Newsflash' in the subject title:

I also put 'Come on Hank, sing that song' in the text of the email. It was my fun Friday email. I only realised after I had sent it, that I had I had sent it to one of the wrong recipients. Scarleh for me.

So AHer's any good/embarrassing stories where you accidentally sent an email/text to the wrong person?

Unfortunately a good few times! One of the most embarrassing was when I was around 14. I was "sexting" some girl and accidentally sent the message to a friend! Just blamed it on someone messing and got out of it OK.

It's the worst feeling ever doing that. And when it turns out you didn't, best feeling.

Sir Osis of Liver.

I accidentally all the time.

LETHAL LADY

I sent a squeamish friend the hello.jpg to what I thought was her home email address. It turned out to be the main email at her workplace. I had some apologising to do.

I had a 2 hour cringe after sending that email. I tried closing my eyes and reopening them in the hope it would disappear off the screen but reality hit when one of the girls call replied 'HAHA but were you supposed to send that to X'. They all had a good laugh over it.:mad: I was left mortified.

Did it a week ago in work. Sent a link about a very blunt 'out of office' message to put on your email.. With the text of the email saying "this will be me in 3 weeks". meant to send it to the missus, but had accidentally sent it as a reply to a business partner after he emailed me looking for more info on something.

Luckily my email was nothing NSFW and he took it in good humour. . He happened to be finishing up that day for holidays himself so he took it well

Jeefff

Yeah I was meant to send the above to the lads in the office and it went to a client.

Ah fatty, that's nothing. If you'd sext your mam or something then it's time to cringe.

That's just made my night. I actually lol'd (and am still "lolling")

I wouldve paid good money to see the gobbler's face when she read the message!

The person I sent it to is very serious and I've only ever dealt with them in a professional manner. I won't be able to look them in the eye the next time I see them. I sent an apology when I realised what I had done, no response.....

Gawd, I'm an awful eejit Ted.

Went out to dinner years back with a friend of mine and his shiny new American girlfriend who turned out to be of the annoying "OH MAI GAWD" persuasion with the IQ of a spoon, who bitched and whinged her way through the hour of conversation I tried to have with her. Texted a friend to see if he wanted to meet for a pint afterwards, citing in explicit detail why I couldn't spend another minute with the annoying bint across from me, only to send it to my mate sitting across the table instead....

Look of horror and slow motion lunge for his phone when I heard it beep on the table to no avail. Fun times for the rest of the meal....

Got a text from my brother-in-law once that went

'Cant wait to get home,Im going to kiss you all over'.

FFS:D

I texted him back with 'Fcuk off you ugly bollix'

Apparently it was just the two of them in the apartment, in the same room at the time. When she hit 'send', the flatmate's phone beeped, and her heart sank (as you can imagine).

The flatmate didn't check it straight away, so she had (briefly) time to think about surreptitiously taking the phone and deleting the message, or just getting out of the flat for a while, but in the end froze and did nothing. A few moments later, "ah, did you just send me a message by mistake?"

I've sent a few to housemates instead of the landlady a few times. One time after showing the house and instead of letting the landlady know how it went, I text yer man saying I had no clue what he was saying because of his accent. Another time, less harmless, text a housemate giving out about him and saying he needs to go, instead of landlady

A girl messaged me on FaceBook today saying did I wanna meet up so I was like you probably have the wrong number and about 5 minutes later she said to me... do you want me to pick you up or what?

Obviously had the wrong person :pac:

But I don't think I've actually ever done it myself.

I bet she never touched your food again after that though.

If you send a text to the wrong person and you realise before its delivered, on some phones if you turn the phone on to airplane mode the message will eventually fail to send and once it does you can just delete the message and forget it ever happened

I was on the bus home from work and texting my friend having a slagging match with her. My mam texted me if I wanted dinner and I wrote back "shut up you , the smell off your gee". I prayed the bus would crash.

Sent a really long dirty message to my boyfriend at the time while I was in the car with my dad on the way home from a funeral. heard my dads phone beep and realised what I had done...

Forwarded an email from a contractor to my boss at my last job, saying what an idiot he was etc etc. Sent it back to the contracter and not by boss. he never talked to me again!

Id like to think we learn in life from these little incidents!!!

Ciderswigger

I sent an email to my leccturer and when signing off I wrote 'Thinking of you' instead of 'Thanking you'.

I nearly died.

I heard of a story of one teenager send a sexting to his mother Mary instead of Mary his girlfriend.

I have never sent important or inappropriate messages to the wrong people. I am always cautious. Non important message, yes I have rarely sent usually when walking in a hurry.

I do however get them. I even get cold calls the odd time from Wexford county council to fix water mains. Wrong engineering field for me.

I got a sexting message from a wife of another unknown man. "Hubby, Kids exported. Get the condoms, wine and the special toys.... X X X."

I reply "Great, give me the address... I will look forward to it. " I followed up with another text "You Text the wrong man. It was good while it lasted "
