please make me feel less sick by sharing your horror stories of sending messages to the person you’re talking about/screenshots. Bonus points if it’s worked related!

Getting ready for a hot date, simultaneously texting my best friend and the date. Accidentally sent 'scrubbing, shaving and plucking like mad!' to the date 😮

I sent a picture of some side boob to my boss meaning to ask DD if it was too much side boob for me to wear the dress.

It wouldn't have been so bad if I'd looked ok but I'd got scraped back wet hair and no make up after a bath so I didn't look at all glamorous

My exh, while we were still married, sent me a WhatsApp asking what pasta to buy, followed by another message arranging a meeting with the OW and describing what he was going to do to her 🤢 he deleted it pretty quickly but I'd seen it.....

I was chatting with my husband while we were also chatting with his parents on WhatsApp. My husband accidentally sent them a message grumbling about something they said, which was meant for me! He managed to delete it all before they saw it, it wouldn't have been a big drama because it wasn't too awful but not great all the same!

I was whinging about someone at the weekend. Yep.. I sent it to the person I was moaning about and I didn’t realise until they replied ‘You’ve sent those to me.’

I wasn’t fazed it’s nothing I wouldn’t have said to their face anyway.

Outing to all that know me.... i once sent my boss a text meant for my dad on a friday night after I had a few wines....
"Meet me at the hotel at 2pm. Love you"

Next morning checked my phone and I'd sent that to my boss. Turns out he was going on a stag weekend and was meeting his "friends " at a similar time.

Caused chaos. My "sorry that was meant for my dad" really didn't help

He was unable to go on the stag weekend.... no idea what other trouble that had caused but i can only imagine!
