I just rang that useless fcuker of a Backwards Man* and he said no, the big ugly cnut.

I had the unpleasant scenario of accidentally seeing an IM conversation between two colleagues where I was described as "Watch out, that f***ing eejit (my name) is coming over to you."

Texts? A few years ago, I got four or five in a row on a Friday night about a house party and who was going to be there. The last one was a bit abrupt asking why I wasn't responding to their texts.

I had one text where the person refused to believe it was the wrong number, literally went on for about 4 weeks before they finally stopped texting and realised 'Johnny, stop taking the piss' was actually not who they were texting, just ****ing weird.

My wife received one from a friend (friend 1) of hers. We were in the process of buying a house, which was almost next door to another friend (friend 2) who had recently just bought also.

My wife got a text out of the blue from friend 1 which simply said "Single White Female" I expect friend 1 and 2 were talking about us buying the house and that response was not supposed to go to my wife.

My wife is still friends with her but I can't stand the bitch.

Got a text from a friend once, mildly bitching about me. He meant to send it to his mot.

We were all in the pub at the time and the funniest thing was seeing his face drop when he realized.

Yes!

I got a text off a random number/guy last year. Said something along the lines of "Hey-Ill give you the deposit for the rugby trip next week".

I replied "Wrong number, but if youre handing out money, shur Ill take it"

Some flirty texts ensued over a few days.

And then he sent me a pic of his willy!

Did you do the decent thing then and send back a pic of your willy !?

I've had a couple of random one's , just text back wrong number.

I had a very strange one when I was selling a car a few years back , this one was texting me agreeing to buy the car but wanted me to meet her halfway as it was in Waterford or something, I was reluctant because we;;, I wasn't bothered driving it down. Then it got strange , she was asking me what else we could get up to when we get there and how she could make it worth my while. I was just thinking it's probably some middle aged perve looking to kill me...

Then again I suppose there could be people out there that are actually that slutty they would easily have sex with random lads in cars despite the fact that they could be 50 year old messes...I'm not now I'm 27 and a grade A 10 of course but couldn't be risking that

"Men are so polite when women wear bikinis only 10% of their bodies are covered but still they are the only parts a man will look at"
Not sure which men the sender of that has been hanging out with.

I used to get repeated texts from a fella who'd send random stuff (that would have made sense to the right person) like "I can't see you in the queue. Where are you" or "I'll be home in a half hour", so I sent back "sorry, wrong number" the first few times, graduating to "I think you have the wrong number saved in your phone" and he'd apologise (signing off with his name) every time. It went on for months on and off till I finally started replying to the texts as if they were for me. Then they stopped. I presume his wife got pissed off with me saying "No, I won't be home, I'm out with my fancy-man".

Edit: That bit could have been a little sussed

Friend 1 was basically accusing his wife of stalker-ish tendencies.

Had one from a someone who was quite obviously given an incorrect number by a girl, text back telling him to try the same number again but swap the lads two digits.

He text back with "i did but that's not here either".

All I could say was tough luck fella.

OldNotWIse · 24-11-2014 03:10PM

My Dad got into trouble over someone mistakenly sending him a text like that

Generic Dreadhead · 24-11-2014 03:17PM

Worked in a call centre before, I once e-mailed a girl sitting opposite me saying "will she ever shut the f**k up".....

The message was meant for a friends of mine sitting a few desks down and this girl opposite of me was the subject.....

F**king mortified

Got a txt last Christmas asking what I wanted as a present, from an unrecognised number.

"World peace and a pony" was my reply.

I hope the intended recepient got one or the other.

I got a voice mail from some guy in the republic of congo before...

FouxDaFaFa · 24-11-2014 06:14PM

On certain networks in the US, if you stop paying your bill, your number goes back into circulation extremely quickly.

I got an American number and immediately assumed the role of an indebted immigrant, Anya.

Anya was in trouble. I was getting calls from debt collectors, her family wondering where she was. Every now and again I would get a call from a bookie's office. He eventually stopped saying anything when he called, there would just be the sounds of horse-racing on the tv in the background.

Poor Anya.

On a lighter note, my Mum once got a booty text from some woman and when she replied that she had the wrong number, the woman said "you'll probably do".

"Hi Lorraine just a quick message to say that Aodhan's doing fine but for the love of God please don't give him those biscuits he gets fierce wind."

I had to stop for a minute and think which one of my alter egos was called Lorraine. Very weird text.

BBJBIG · 24-11-2014 07:02PM

Yeah. some chick wantin me to Bash her Gash ...

I once sent a text meant for my boyfriend at the time to my boss instead. It was terrible, I was in work and not meant to be texting and the message was full of moaning about work and how much I couldn't wait to see him later.... Still makes me cringe.

I once received one like that, saying she was having a bad day and to have the bed warmed up for her, she was a hottie too:o

SMJSF · 24-11-2014 10:29PM

Years ago in school, I was bored in class, and a text that was supposed to be for an ex BF, "kinda" dirty..... I sent it to my social worker.......... whos also male............

Did he take you up on your kind offer?

I texted Dave Fanning the other day instead of my wife. He never texted back. Baxtard.

PizzamanIRL · 26-11-2014 06:19PM

I got a voicemail from someone in a strange accent saying "Hello, ah I got your number from a friend. My name is Frederick. I want some hashish. I will ring you back in 30 minutes, 40 minutes. My friend"

He never rang back but I recorded that voicemail because it was so weird but he had a cool accent. That was in 2008. I still have it.

FionnK86 · 26-11-2014 06:23PM

Got a text asking for my number before,can't remember how exactly it was worded.Needless to say the sender was probably not the brightest individual, but I chose not to make further inquiries about it as I was only 12 at the time! :eek:

Was texting my old boss (lady) about my roster, and through force of habit sent the kisses (xxxxx) to her, like I usually did with my girlfriend.

Fairly embarrassing few days after as it was just myself and her working together.

castletownman · 26-11-2014 06:32PM

My ex texted me a couple of years ago asking me "do you want to call over later on?".

My wires totally crossed and I assumed she was looking for the hook up, and for some reason decided to text my best mate something along the lines of "I just got an invite off <her name> to call over later on. That means only one thing only" (just to keep him up to date on my sex life like

) Of course I accidentally sent it to her.

But the biggest twist of the whole story was that she had originally meant to send it to her current BF instead of me, and I had massive explaining to do from the 100FT hole I somehow dug for myself.

Needless to say, the same mistake hasn't happened again.

Having watched the news lately, all I can say is best of luck with the pony!

Last time I was in London, I let a French guy borrow my phone to make a call to a friend. For several weeks afterwards, I was getting lots of texts from that friend, alternating between "Hey, we meeting up this weekend?" to "You ****! Why do you never answer my txts?? and back again. I know I should have set him straight, but didn't want to get involved. Plus, it was too funny reading those txts in an angry French accent.

I would never reply either. Most of them I would imagine are scams anyway.

Ever got a text not meant for you?
