Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person but then just lent into it?

[RelentlessSylvia]

This morning I sent a text to my friend G saying 'I've got to nip to Boots for my repeat prescription but I'm free after that. Fancy a coffee and a chinwag? Have had a shite of a weekend and I need to vent. x'...

except I sent it to the next person in my contact list by mistake, who is somebody I knew a decade ago at a toddler group and haven't seen for at least nine years.

For some reason, even though I felt that familiar burn of embarrassment at realising my error, I decided just to lean in to my mistake and so didn't send a follow up text apologising for sending in error and the overfamiliarity of telling her about my medicines!

Anyway the upshot is, she did want to go for a cuppa, we had a lovely two hour chat, we're doing it again next week, and she said she's really glad I got back in touch.

So hooray for my clumsy fat fingers!

Hahaha...glad your error worked out for you

I sent a text meant for a friend to a group chat of some people I work with all about how awful my week (at work) had been. That was genuinely the most mortifying thing ever because the very second I pressed 'send' I realised what I'd done. Thankfully I hadn't named anyone or been specific, but oh it was vile. I didn't dare send another grovelling "please don't read that" text so went with it and lots of them chimed in that it had really been a difficult week.

Anyhow, the Headteacher was also on the group chat, called me in the following week and asked how we could rescue the situation and ease the load. That was a lovely result of my absolute stupidity but I'm so careful now and re-check before sending anything.

Did you confess when you saw her?

Just last week I meant to send my DH a loving message, which said something like "You're the most wonderful man in the world". I sent it to my son by mistake . A few minutes later I got a lovely message from DS saying he was the luckiest guy to have such a loving mum. it was my "awwww" moment of the day. He told me later that he'd been having a horrible day, and that my random message had made him feel wonderful.

stella that is so sweet!!!!

My friend organised a funeral for her mum, who passed away very unexpectedly and quickly. She sent a message to the wrong person asking them to speak. She actually didn’t know the woman in question and just looked up “Sharon” in her mums phone book and asked her if she could say a few words

The woman replied saying how sorry she was and it was only on the day when she was saying she hadn’t seen the mum for almost 10 years but was so touched they wanted her to speak. The real Sharon had a nickname that no-one knew about so the family actually asked her to say sometning on the day and let the first Sharon do her bit too.

Was quite funny after the initial surprise!

Last sunmer, I mistakenly sent a Facebook message to a guy I used to work with who had a similar profile pic to the friend I wanted to message. It said something like "it's due to be sunny on Saturday think God" (we were taking our kids to the beach) I realised my mistake and messaged him straight away, apologising. He sent a funny message back and we started chatting- a year on we are quite good mates, we've been for a drink four or five times and chat online every 1-2 weeks. He's really nice and I'm glad I made that error.

Nice stories. Glad it's not just me who's had an unexpected niceness from an accident.

Once pocket dialled an ex while having a quickie against a door with new bf....

No, but I went to the cinema with a school Mum - I think she probably didn't mean to invite me . We had a nice time, though!

I once sent a text to a male friend saying there was a room going in my shared house and was he interested.

Only to realise the week before I’d met a guy in a nightclub and drunkenly handed him my phone (nokia, not smart phone) to put his number in who happened to have same first name. So while I’d planned to text him a light flirty fancy a coffe text, I texted him asking him to move in with me!

I think he was quite surprised, but I pretended I meant it and we’ve been married 10 years! (No we haven’t. I never heard from him again!)

ha!

At 40 weeks pregnant I was texting my mil and my husband at the same time. One of them joked about sex being the best method to get it going. Soooooo... I invited my mil to come home from work and get to it!

Sent this one by accident to my male friend who I work with , it was innocent enough except for the row of kisses that DP and I always exchange

Luckily he thought it was funny

I once sent a text meant for my best friend saying something like 'ring me, I need to vent' but accidentally sent it to a guy I'd met through best friend a few days before. I didn't realise my mistake so didn't send a follow up apology wrong person text. Instead of ringing me, he came to my house with ice cream and let me vent for a hour in his car before deciding to drive me to my best friends house (I'd admitted the mistake when he turned up) we were together for nearly 2 years after that.
