Most embarrassing text you sent to the wrong person?

Happened to my friend but I really cringe when I think about it.

Anyway I was hanging out with some friends and one of them decide to do a few prank calls on other friends and people we know for the craic.

Then one of my mates comes up with a good one. Send a text to random numbers (people who don't know who you are ideally) saying "I hid the body, what do I do now?". He done it a few times but hilarity did not ensue because he got no replies.

But by accident he ended up sending the message to a lad he knew from college, apparently his brother went missing (presumed dead) on holiday in Spain two years previously.

Oh my god!
I know it shouldn't be, but that's hilarious!
Did the guy reply?

Once by accident, I text a girl that i'd been out with a few times asking her "Any chance I can get a 50 bag off ya, man?"

Not really embarrassing, but close enough.

I know a few people who've been caught out with iMessage because it starts conversations when there's more than one recipient and people automatically hit reply

Yeah, I know, that's what the person who got the text must have thought...

Oh, here's another good one, but it wasn't me this time.

My ex recently texted me on two occasions with some lovey-dovey, gushy texts using words like "my beautiful lady", "my love" etc. Soooo embarrassing, I knew straight away they were meant for his current girlfriend. Him and I are in constant contact cos of the child, so that's how that slip of the thumb happened I guess.

(Just to pre-empt anyone, no, he definitely doesn't want me back. He was embarrassed as hell over the texts, while I laughed my head off.

Plus he's very much in love with his beautiful lady.

:D)

Getting some cash from my close friend.

She gave me her card and told me to take out 50 for myself. I did. Gave her her card back.

Anyways next day she is onto me about how there was a couple of transactions. I said it wasn't me (it wasn't) but she persisted "Are you sure?".

I repeated it wasn’t me and left for work.

In the queue at the bank to withdraw what little I had left and decided to text my mate "Sandra's after accusing me of robbing her cash the fcuking sl*t. I told her I didn't and she kept at me"..... Send.

Reached the top of the queue when my phone beeps. Message from Sandra: Are you for real? Can't believe you !

Bank Clerk: NEXT !!!!

The longest day in work EVER. Knowing I am going home to an apt with two scorned irish women !

A couple of weeks ago I was heading into town to meet a group of friends who were already out. Given that this particular establishment is notoriously packed and noisy, one of the guys called ahead and said to send a text when I was outside and he would come get me.

Except instead of texting him, I sent a message to a 90 year old Bean an Tí in Kerry saying "Outside now Sugar Tits!"

I was once caught out badly like this. Was looking at houses and put the estate agents number in my phone. Her name starts with the same letter as my husbands so replaced his in the contacts as the first name with that letter. When I drove past my hubby standing at the bus stop (the day after meeting the female agent) I sent a joke message to him saying 'you look like a prostitute!' My hubby would have gotten the joke but I automatically sent it to the first person with that letter in the name Bloody mortified!!!

Funny story

A way to avoid that is to put a space after the first letter of their name, so always keeping their name #1 under their letter. I used to do it for the important names when I had an old school phone.

My girlfriend spilled nail polish on a coffee table in my house one night and several dabs of a cloth didn't totally clean it. She said she get some remover the next day and clean it up. I joked I'd have to get rid of the table if it wasn't cleaned.

The next evening I texted her a gentle reminder "You'd better get that polish remover or I'm taking a hatchet to that fúcker".

I unfortunatley sent it to my housemate Pawel who promptly moved out accusing me of trying to assassinate him.

*This may or may not be a true story

ringadingding · 20-11-2012 11:41AM

Told this story here before,

I was out on a date with a Croatian girl who was a friend of a guy I worked with, when she went to the toilet, I texted him ' she's fooking gagging for cock, she's gonna get it'

I nearly vomited as it sent to her.
She was cool enough not to mention it, but yeah, I didn't get the ride

generalmental · 20-11-2012 11:47AM

This is weird cause I actually only sent this text last night to my aunt.

Good evening just thought I would let you know that even though you are a great cu.nt you are gonna be a great cu.nt again. I'm pregnant.

Lets just say I was mortified.
God damm smartphones

Not a text, but in some way similar.

My granny's phone number was one digit different to my friends. Dinner was ready so I rang my granny's house (on the same street) to get my sister to come back for it. Obviously I accidentally rang my friends number who had a sister with the same name as mine. I said "Hi Niamh, dinner's ready". The conversation went on for a minute before I realised what had happened.

Kwal · 20-11-2012 11:58AM

My one is pretty cringe but i just laugh about it now! I was just out of the doctors after havin an test (down there) and was textin my best friend about (in detail). Anyway i wasnt lookin at the phone properly and sent the msg to another friend from college who i woudnt have been as close to. All i got back was "whaaaaaaat????!!!!!!" but thankfully she saw the funny side of it and needless to say we had an interesting chat the next day over coffee!! At the time i wanted the ground to open up and swallow me but now i think its hilarious! Im just thankfull i didnt send it to my mam who was the next contact on the list!

RoyalMarine · 20-11-2012 12:08PM

I hate when domino's delivery call you when they're outside your house....

as a result, about 30 mins later I accidently text him and asked him to call around to play xbox for an hour or 2.

the worst thing is he actually ****ing called to the house

edit: btw to explain, my mate had just gotten a new phone and I hadn't stored his number yet.

Assassin saphir · 20-11-2012 12:08PM

My husband and I work for same company but at different locations. His boss is at the same managerial level as I am. He was texting me about something work related. My Oh was also texting me while on his break and the texts were fairly steamy. I texted back exactly what I was going to do to him in bed that night in graphic detail. Pressed send and realised that I had sent it to his boss. I'm screaming like a mad woman trying to unsend it. Never ever have 2 text conversations at once. Luckily his boss so the funny side of it and said it made his day .

toexpress · 20-11-2012 12:12PM

I just sent a friend a whatsapp message intended for the BF .... it was a tad ... well ya know

emsie80 · 20-11-2012 12:14PM

TheDoc · 20-11-2012 12:15PM

Dirty texts to this girl in college.

Was borrowing the girlfriend at the times phone, gave it back, assuming messages were saved to SIM.

Now fully fledged in how phones save messages.....

Not a text but an email.

I had a bit of running email banter with one of he guys at work about being athletic and going to the gym in wife beaters and protein bars etc as he was quie fond of he gym scene. So i was emailing him one day back and forth despite being about 3 pens away from him and my boss being in the pen next to me. So the banter was good between us.. So good in fact that i didnt notice my boss had emailed me while this was going on and i had actually opened HER mail and clicked reply while getting ready to send a light hearted one to my collegue. Now the the topic that my boss had mailed me on was quite a serious one and one in tune with my role within the company.. ie professional and serious and no fun to be had kind of thing.

Something like this

Her to me" X i need you to draft up a document immediately for a tender for a new project starting in 2weeks etc etc" Email marked as high importance.

My reply to her " ok hot shot on the count of 3 we both take off our tops to see who has the bigger guns 1...2..."

Now myself and my collegue went to lunch about 40mins later and i said how come you never replied to my mail. He said he never recieved it. So i checked after lunch. I have never felt the urge to throw up as much when i saw who my mail went to...

She never brought it up with me and has since left the company.

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
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.

Yeah, I sent the male equivalent. Regret it to this day.

Thats epic!

I'd a booboo like that a few months back. We had an e-mail chain going around that was a collection of Patrick Stuart memes and pictures.

I wanted to include a mate, but Outlook auto filled a high profile executive at one of my clients.

I literally shat my brick and had one of the lads in IT try a recall which failed. So I'd fully expected to be packing my bags, and received a reply from him shortly after, of the Patrick Stuart facepalm

a few years while doing a small bit of 'special' gardening I sent a text to a friend saying that the plant was coming along nicely and we'd have some great weed in a few weeks. Accidentally sent it to my 15 yr old daughter instead.

That was the last year I was able to grow my own.

mahonykid · 20-11-2012 01:10PM

Not so much an embarrassing text but more of a messing with someones phone story.

Few months back a buddy of mine found a phone on a night out. Instead of doing the decent thing of handing it in he decided to look through the messages and have a bit of fun. Some messages in the inbox were obviously from the owners OH, my buddy being somewhat of a messer text the OH saying something along the lines of "ill be home in an hour have the anal beads ready"
Next thing a text comes in "What has gotten into you , we havent done that in years, hurry on home, ill be waiting"
a few other steamy texts were exchanged before my friend turned the phone off and handed it in.
Id love to have seen the lady's face when she realized it wasnt the OH she was texting

Anyone else think he meant something else entirely?

Roar · 20-11-2012 01:15PM

there's a jailbreak tweak for iphone that delays actually sending the message for 3 seconds after you press send, so you can cancel sending the text before it goes out. Has saved me many times!

griffdaddy · 20-11-2012 01:27PM

One of my friends had been texting me off his mother's phone when he ran out of credit and I saved the number under his name. A few months later on his birthday I used the Android app Sms Bomber to send him 250 messages saying 'Happy Birthday Fúckface' but sent them to his mother by mistake. Never heard anything more about it, can only assume she thought I was some kind of mental case. Haven't seen her since.

Was after spending a night with an ex. Text her the next day about it. Had a new phone and inadvertently sent the text to all contacts! Luckily I didn't have all my numbers on it yet but still had quite a few!
