Embarrassing text to wrong person..

Anyone got some to share?
Please.. I cannot be the only one..
Following my 6 week coil check yesterday, I text my ds's friends mum to check she was still okay to have my ds after school.
I was also in the midst of texting a friend about the appointment saying 'I was a bit worried at one point when the nurse said "This is a good sign, I can see Fred" then I realised she had said thread'.
I quickly followed this up with another text asking 'who is this tiny man living in my vagina?'.
I sent it to my ds's friends mum didn't I.
The poor woman got 'Are you still okay to have ds after school today' 'Who is this tiny man living in my vagina'.
The absolute shame

I thought I had one of these, but... nope, not telling it. It pales into boring insignificance compared with yours OP.

Not a wrong person, but an autocorrect.

I was text-interviewing a teen neighbour for bsbysitting, before inviting her round to meet the kids properly:

'Hi, my H wants to know where do you live, and if you'd like him to get you home'

became

'Hi, my H wants to know where do you lube, and if you'd like him to get you home'

I once text ' hi baby' to the plumber (followed by a load of waffle about the job). My phone is obviously so used to me texting this to dh that it autocorrected .... I quickly realised my mistake and text him again to say I was a Muppet ( I was mortified when he then had to come to the house! This is why we must always proof read before hitting send ladies!

My sister was having some work done in her (rented) flat. Landlord had arranged the tradesman, and it was several days' work.

After 2 days my sister texted the landlord to complain that the tradesman was late, inefficient, nosy and loud. Yes of course she sent it to the tradesman himself

I love these threads!

trevortrevorslattery · 11/01/2017 17:02

Ah OP that's hilarious. Also madmags

I once texted a very reserved, socially awkward colleague to ask if he was coming over for sex. It was meant to be to a FWB the horror.

J3NN1 · 11/01/2017 17:02

Oh that is just hilarious! 'Who is this tiny man living in my vagina'

Not as funny but in a group message with all of the parents at my daughters gymnastics I meant to write 'no probs' after helping someone with something - instead I wrote 'no pubes' - mortified!

Straight after the text incident I popped into Morrisons. As I was walking around I struggled to contain my laughter to such an extent that I began getting involuntary leg twitches. I don't know if that was due to the shock or because I'd just had a nurses hand up my Jack and Danny. Either way I must have looked utterly mad.
Thanks for sharing your text disasters PPs

I once sent a ranty text about my boss to my boss ( major health scare & they were being arsey about me having any time off for hospital appointments ) Was meant to go to my mum. Boss was livid. BUT I put nothing in it but the truth.

amusedbush · 11/01/2017 16:58

I really laughed out loud there, OP

MadMags · 11/01/2017 16:58

My sister and I were texting once, just silly stuff and we got talking about rampant rabbits (as you do).

Anyway, she went quiet for a while then I got a flurry of chaotic texts...

Her ds's soccer coach had sent a text about that weekend's match and she had replied with "check out this bad boy" and the biggest vibrator she could find on the internet!

She sent dh to the match that weekend

JennyOnAPlate · 11/01/2017 16:55

You win the internet today op

LarkDescending · 11/01/2017 16:54

That has made my day OP

The other mum sounds a good sort.

Gallavich · 11/01/2017 16:54

Excellent! I can just imagine her face

I sent a text about a guy I was planning to dump to the guy once. That was awful.
Then I also text a guy I wasn't interested in, citing this serious relationship I was starting in, but I sent it to the man I was dating (which was far from a serious relationship) - that took some explaining!

Ahh that's made me nostalgic for the days when I had several blokes on the go...fun times.

BreconBeBuggered · 11/01/2017 16:53

When I read the thread title I was going to say 'Oh, we've all done it, OP'. But I don't think we have.

youarenotkiddingme · 11/01/2017 16:53

That is fantastic

I agree i like you a whole lot more if I got a text like this (mistake or not!) as you clearly have a great sense of humour and quick wit.

Scribblegirl · 11/01/2017 16:53

Oh god I'm at work and holding back tears. OP I think you're a legend.

loopylulu80 · 11/01/2017 16:52

I accidentally sent a text to my male friend at work instead of my husband saying 'Love you monkey' (nickname). He luckily laughed about it and called me monkey for a week!

trulybadlydeeply · 11/01/2017 16:51

When people say they are literally "crying with laughter" I always think that it's a gross exaggeration, but I am actually sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks

CrazyDuchess · 11/01/2017 16:42

Janey50 · 11/01/2017 16:35

OMG OP that is hilarious!

BillyDaveysDaughter · 11/01/2017 16:32
