I once received a whatsapp from my friend that said 'fire up the vibrator I am on the way round and I am horny as fuck' 😂

She meant to send it to her boyfriend and accidently sent it me. I was laughing so hard because I knew the mistake. I replied 'I am not sure I am ready to take our friendship to that level 😂'

Luckily we both found it funny.

Haaaaa…🤣

Not the wrong group chat but I left a rather sarcastic message to someone (that I didn’t know) on Instagram calling them a smelly skeffer (which they were in fairness) using the work/business Instagram account which I was social manager for rather than my personal one 🙈🤣

Well the truth hurts l guess 🤣

Someone I know posted a video with a dildo shoved up her fanny. Was meant for someone she was messaging on Snapchat. Ended up on her story and she fell asleep.

she woke up and removed it at 11am the next day..

Oh dear, some of these gaffs are hilarious.
Hope it makes you feel better OP. You didn't exactly insult anyone. You were just a bit sarcastic.

I'd have styled it out with your manager and said 'Sorry, needed a good excuse to get out of going, hope you don't mind I blamed you'

It’s amazing you worked the shift 10/10 for bravery 🤣

Many years ago I was dealing with a friend (Clare) who was very toxic/intense, had loads of problems, was calling me all hours/texting constantly (then would have a go at me if I didn't reply straight away), threatening suicide all the time, SS involved with kids etc, you get the picture....

My mum was very concerned about me as she could see the effect this was having on me (especially as I had a newborn & 3 year old). My anxiety was through the roof.

So I put together a text for my mum saying "Thanks mum, Clare is absolutely draining me, I just can't cope with her anymore, she's making me ill. I have decided to gradually cut contact with her"

Problem was in my emotional state, I sent the text to Clare by mistake!

Only realised what I had done when an irate Clare called me 5 minutes full of abuse :-(

DoYouReally · 26/06/2025 17:48

I interviewed a guy once and got a WhatsApp just afterwards saying.

"Nailed it. Man boss, he knew quickly I was the man. Lady boss was like putty in my hands 💪💪💪"

We thought he was an insufferable twat but it did give us a laugh!!

Oh wow. Did it do the trick? It sounds like an awful situation you were in with her @justmyopinion2013 :0(
probably good she received it

That's priceless.

Bloody love that! 😂

rightoguvnor · 26/06/2025 17:50

a couple of times I’ve texted my son’s support worker instead of a colleague. And I work nights so it’s usually at about 3am, and the message is usually weird. Last time it was because the gate at work broke down so my colleague was out there trying to fix it.
”you need to pull that thing up and down and then release it”. Then “blimey. let’s swap” 😳

Phugs · 26/06/2025 17:53

I had my DH stored in my phone as DH and his dad as DHDad. Slightly intoxicated one night sent “DH” a very explicit text about what he could expect when I got home. Yep sent to “DHdad”. On an old Nokia 6310 so no chance of deleting. It has never ever been mentioned. 20 years later it still occasionally pops in to my mind when he’s visiting and I have to excuse myself while I go and die of embarrassment in another room! 😩

Hopefully that was the end of the friendship

We tried to put things right, but her lifestyle got worse and the friendship phased out for good.

My husband always knew when I had spent time with Clare as he could see the change in my demeanour.

I felt relief once I didn't see her anymore....guilt too as I'm a caring friend, but I knew I couldn't go on especially with a young family.

Thats not bad at all.
My fxxk up is too long to explain but I nearly died with the fright.
I had sent a sharp (justified) criticism of another parent of a child in a competition that I was managing.

I had a drink, clarified my annoyance and styled it out...sort of....but the fright😱.
Never bitch on WhatsApp and cook/drink wine at the samd time!

I have seen it happen too often.
It's not called "WineApp" for nothing🤣.

good advice 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry to derail, but I'm still in the dark as to why it was removed. Does anyone know please?!

People were using it to respond to posts that weren’t humorous- basically as a derisory tool.

Tofana · 26/06/2025 18:09

Not a text but I drunkenly updated my Facebook status to peoples names when I was searching for them and when I realised what I’d done because they commented i just replied with “I wanted to say I love your hair” or my favourite one, “how’s your mum doing?”

101Alsatians · 26/06/2025 18:10

Sent a WA voicenote to now XH after another one of his many disappearing acts along the lines of..

'When the FUCK are you back?! This is getting silly now,I haven't slept for days,the kids are exhausting me,need help etc. blabla'

Except...sent to my most recent contact, my boss at the time, who had just left for a business trip to South Africa and for once,left me holding the reins without micromanaging.

Worst thing was,he called me asking if I was okay 😱

So you won't tell us what it said but you want stories.

Ok...I once sent a message to the wrong chat group.

Stop being boring.

womanbornn · 26/06/2025 18:13

years ago one of the unpleasant playground Mums sent me an unpleasant message about me, which was meant for someone else. I replied saying she’d sent it to the wrong person. She said it was meant for someone else. She then sent a couple more messages along the same theme. I figured that she wanted me to receive and read them. And that she hadn’t sent them “accidentally” at all.

Even at the time, I was amused by it, rather than angry at it (because she was an awful human being with zero redeeming features)

Bimblebombles · 26/06/2025 17:38

Not as bad as some of these, but sent a detailed shopping list to my boss's teenage son once, specifying "the good cheese, not that shit one you always buy".

😂😂

Luckily we both found it funny.

I had a friend do something similar and texted me. Clearly I knew it was an error and before I had a chance to respond I got a frantic text going ‘oh I didn’t mean to send you that’. He must have been mortified!! I just wrote back- ‘I kinda assumed…’ eye raising stuff. Not sure I could look at home the same way ha ha!

OP just a word of advice is to lock all group chats on WhatsApp. I am paranoid about mistakenly putting something on a group chat, even if not embarrassing. I once received about 20 photos of a parent of a child in my class’s holiday as she mistakenly put on the class group! The weirdest thing was she didn’t delete it.

I sent my exH a rather cringe message about how big my poo was and that it wouldn’t flush and that I was proud (we had an ongoing joke about this sort of thing). Except I accidentally sent it to a good friend and a work colleague. Friend called me in hysterics saying she’d read it in a work meeting and was barely able to keep a straight face. Colleague said nothing and when I mentioned and apologised he looked more embarrassed than me that I’d brought it back up. I felt embarrassed around him going forwards

I thought your friend read it out in her meeting ha!
