After about half an hour, he wondered why I hadn’t responded, went back on WhatsApp, realised his mistake (with great horror) and deleted and sent a load of messages saying don’t look at that - obviously they then both twigged what had happened and also recoiled in horror! We refer to it as “the incident” and it is never to be discussed 🤣🤣🤣

This has made me laugh so much - thank you 😂😂😂

Twice I've done this

Once I sent my ex a very sexy message about what I was going to do to him once the kids where in bed

I went into great details of the stockings and which vibe we where going to use and I may have used the sentence 'and then I'm gonna ride you like a cowgirl!'

Annnddd sent it to my father

Who's eyesight is awful so he handed the phone to my brother,sister in law and mother to read out

The second time,dp was at work and we started sexting

It soon moved onto saucy pics and in the middle of this,ds texted me over something innocent

I answered him,snapped a photo of my tits and sent it

To poor ds

I didn't even notice until I got a message back saying 'I've not seen those since I was a baby!'

Both times i lost part of my soul

My brother accidentally sexted the family group chat instead of his (now wife, then colleague) and the first person to realise was me as I was reading it out loud for my mother who didn't have her glasses on

He's just about lived it down 10 years on 😉

Not as good as some of these stories but someone posted in our community selling WhatsApp group some toy train track for sale. My DH sent it to me as to whether we should buy it and I sent back “we don’t need anymore fucking train track!” Only I sent it in the selling group instead 🤦🏻‍♀️

This one has completely finished me! 😂😂😂

My H (then boy friend) recieved a message from one of my best friends saying "it's not a wonder you smoke. You need to dealing with her all day". (I was having fertility treatment at the time and was venting to her earlier in the day). He said to me "I just got a weird message from your friend." Anyway I called her and asked her WTF. She told me that he's her friend as well and she'll say what she likes. I returned her house keys to her, her overnight stuff that she left at my house because she stayed over so often an never spoke to her again. I realised that while she was over and I was cooking, cleaning, doing her laundry and running around they were merrily playing xbox, chatting and bonding. However,she put her money on the wrong horse because he was never going to do fuck all for her while I treated her like a sister.

I live in a ground floor apartment and had an issue with a shared blocked drain that meant neither me nor my upstairs neighbour could use our en suite bathrooms for three bloody months. It took that long to sort because the drains where we live are so complicated that no one could find it and we actually thought we might have to rip out my bathroom to tackle it from the inside. Anyway, after many months of persistent investigations, I was eventually able to locate the drain. I then called up a standard plumber, who knew nothing of the backstory. He unblocked it in 10 minutes; I paid him and he left.

I then texted my neighbour, "Yessss!!! The drain is unblocked!!!!! IAM SO FUCKING DELIGHTED ABOUT IT!!!!!" and all the emojis you can think of.

It was 10pm before I realised I sent it to the plumber. Guess it's always nice to have a satisfied customer though.

I was talking to a group of friends only the other day saying I had done similar. It turned out a lot of us had the same. You are ot alone by any means op 😅 although that obviously doesn't solve your situation!

Many many years ago, a very good friend of mine was in the honeymoon phase of a new relationship. Her partner was called Jim. After one particularly passionate night, she texted Jim to tell her she could still taste him/feel him/ couldn’t walk etc etc - all the things.

She then hit send. She was also one of those people who call their parents by their first names; her dad’s name was also Jim.

I don’t need to tell you the rest….she texted her dad again immediately and begged him to delete the message without reading and to this day, She doesn’t know if he did or not.

personally speaking, I have sent a message really slagging somebody off to the person I’m slagging off rather than to the person I was having the conversation with, so I had to do some very very quick thinking to get out of that one. That really taught me a lesson to doublecheck the recipient of anything I send. But I’m also very careful about what I write online anyway nowadays - everything is kept and recorded and photographed and screenshot and held against you!

VelvetAndPVC · 27/06/2025 22:16

I messaged my entire gym class “Andy (instructor) you know I’m looking forward to another lickdown, just don’t tell the rest of the class” followed by wink face emoji and laughing emoji.

i thought I was only texting him but accidentally sent it to the class group chat instead.

And yes it was a typo, I meant to write lockdown not lickdown. And I knew the gym instructor because he was a very good friend of DH, so good he let me join his online class for free just so long as I kept quiet about it. Everyone else in his class hated the first lockdown but secretly Andy and I actually quite liked the first lockdown and had chatted about it with DH over dinner. So when rumours of another one surfaced in the run up to Christmas 2020 I texted him, and the 32 other people who joined his lockdown class Zooms.

I left the free gym class and joined a gym in another town. 5 years later I am still commuting to that gym

I once seen an awful picture on the Facebook group "rate my plate".
I never reply on those but it really was disgusting looking. And anyone who knows the group will understand that much of the time people purposely post awful photos for the banter.

I cant remember the exact wording but I said something like "you must really hate your family to serve them something that looks like it's been shit out"

Only it wasn't Rate my plate. It was my local slimmingworld group page.I'd misread and posted that in reply to a members photo of her actual dinner.

I only realised once the leader inboxed me and said I'd really upset one of her members and she had to delete the post.

I never went back there again. Absolutely fucking mortified. 🙈

I know how you feel but mine was work related. I said something about a colleague but put it onto the main chat rather than the private chat I was having about them. They saw it before I could delete it and asked if it was about them. I was totally mortified. There was no way I could wiggle my way out of it, so I telephoned them directly and admitted it and said it was through frustration etc. They accepted my apology so all I can suggest is that you hold your hands up and apologise if it was that bad.

I think the person you sent it to has mentioned this on mumsnet before because I read a thread of this exact scenario a month or two ago. Even down to the ringing her and owning up to it which she wasn't impressed with the excuse of it being out of frustration because she thought it was extremely unprofessional to be talking about her in private chats. You don't happen to be her manager perchance?

When DD was in Primary school, I received a message from her new teacher (who hadn’t started yet) on the school communication system , which said ‘Hi, I’m Mr xxxxx and I’ll soon be your child’s teacher, I can’t wait to start blah blah, general introductions.’

All fine and Dandy.
Until I picked up my phone and saw a sent message back. The sent message wasn’t from me, it was from my DD age 9 who said ‘I really can’t wait to meet you Mr xxxxx I am soooo excited, we’re going to have so much fun.’
needless to say, the new teacher Mr xxxxx assumed I was a fruit loop parent and he proceeded to avoid or run away from me for the full year.
The message back also had a photo of me and a smiley face on it as I’d stupidly added a photo of me when I set up the darn thing.
Five years on I’m still cringeing……

Haaaaa 🤣🤣🤣

it was my mums birthday and I bought her a super expensive birthday card, went there in the afternoon with presents and gave her the card, then she was moaning that non of her kids had text to wish her happy birthday. Later that evening I was moaning to a friend about what an ungrateful cow mum was for whining about not receiving a text when I’d spent a fortune on a card and gifts! But I text my mum instead, it was before the ability to delete messages so I just had to ride it out and apologise!

Another time mum had text me saying about my sister having her druggy BIL as god parent to her first born, and her two SIL’s ….. I text back saying something about everything always being about her husbands family and us never being included … but I text my sister by mistake .

no biggy as both times I was speaking the truth! 😂

This next one is my friend…. He’s an older gent, used to pop to the Philippines and Thailand every year…. It was I think before smart phones and he’d emailed me a message and I can’t remember the exact reason why he’s forwarded it but it wasn’t meant for me!!…. The title literally
contained the subject ‘lady Boys’… I wasn’t going to say anything to him but on further inspection he’d ‘sent to all’ 😂😂😂 so I had to hotmail chat or MSN or whatever it was back then and say he’d sent an email ‘to all’ that I don’t think he’d meant to share 😂😂 He was very embarrassed and I never raised it again LOL

This thread is why the loss of the laughing emoji reaction is a travesty! 🤣

When and why was it removed? I'm brand new here; this is my first post, and one of only a handful (or less) of threads I've ever read! I'm also from... somewhere in North America. But please don't hold that against me! 😅

Anyway, just curious about the missing reaction...

My ex SIL once gave me an old phone of hers with a video still left on it of her using a dildo on herself. I don't think she ever realised and I didn't say anything and just deleted it but I really wasn't expecting that from her 😆
