    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...


    And then you woke up :pac:

    I rang up a girl and told her I wanked over her.



    Yeah, we don't feel awkward around each other at all...

    Had gone on a few dates with a really HOT bloke, fantastic body, broad back that i wanted to tear the skin off with my nails (hadnt slept with him yet)
    Anywhoooo, was preparing to meet him for a date, was havin a rest and got a text from my sis to see how things were progressing.
    So I informed her that I had decided that tonight was "the night", what i wasnt going to do to him wasnt worth mentioning, and yessssss, you've guessed it
    I sent it to him by mistake :o:o:o:o:o:o cringe factor 10
    I held my breathe for what felt like hours waiting for the *Im sorry, I cant make it, somethings come up* text....
    didnt get it though :)

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

    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

    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.

    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??
    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?

    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

    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.

    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 :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭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...

    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.

    I had a massive arguement over the phone one day with someone and then was sending a text to that person, and the predictive text on my phone changed whatever word I was using into "KILL" and so I was using the Cabbage Android app so the clear button is right next to the send button and because my resistive touchscreen was so unresponsive it sent instead of cleared.

    Needless to say that person did their best to avoid me for 2 months.

    When i was a 'yoof' the closest we ever got to sexting was to write 'S.W.A.L.K on the back of an envelope.
