Message to wrong chat group ….mortified

[MrsLighthouse]

Re: I sent a cross message onto the family group instead of directly to my husband . Deleted now, but l feel so ashamed and mortified … reached out to a couple of members to apologise but no response.. it may or may not blow over but please tell me your experience of sending messages to the wrong group so l don’t feel so alone in my stupidity …

Someone on my street WhatsApp group posted to say that their cat was missing and could people check their sheds, presumably aiming to follow up with a photo of said cat. Instead they sent a photo (taken in a mirror, trompe d’oeil stylee) of their naked body from behind.

I meant to send a message to boyfriend saying I am aching from last night and sent it to my dad. Saved myself by saying I went to yoga aching from yoga

A work colleague was leaving our team, partly because she didn't get on with S who was lazy, so she organised the team minus S to go for dinner for her leaving, this involved setting up a different WhatsApp group of everyone but S. Some messages were being exchanged about dates and times etc and you guessed it, another colleague posted to the wrong group. It was something to do with the shift the morning after our dinner so it could have been so much worse, it said something like 'I need to sort that issue whether I'm in early or not as S does nothing anyway'. She put her phone down and went upstairs for a shower so by the time she got all our frantic calls and messages it was too late and S had replied 'excuse me?'. The poster replied saying yeah I need to get X job done and I'm the only one who can do it, referring to a specific task that S isn't supposed to do. I doubt she fooled S but she said after it was no harm that S realised we thought she wasn't pulling her weight

I was once in my friend's car, we were meant to be meeting another group of friends and he was dicking around making us really late ( he always does this and it's really annoying) I sent a text to one of the friends we were meant to be meeting proper cunting him off. Or so I thought. But no, I sent it to him 😳 I realised and styled it out by saying 'ooh you've got an IPhone haven't you, I'm thinking of getting one, can I have a look at yours to see if I like it compared to my android phone?' He really didn't want to but handed it over and I was able to delete the offending text 🤣

I was also supposed to send a photo of my pay slip to council tax and sent lost of menopause symptoms that I’d sent to my friend. Got to be careful

Nicely played … 👏

Some of these are mortifyingly hilarious 😆

I've told this one before but when my eldest was at primary it was pre WhatsApp and we had a class parents email group. There was a collection for teacher gifts at the end of each year so each teacher would get a spa voucher rather than multiple mugs and bottles of bubble bath. One year the class teacher was male and the group was wondering what to get him instead of a spa voucher. My husband emailed me (he thought) quipping "how about a spearmint rhino voucher" except he actually sent it to the whole group.

He phoned me in a panic and I said you just have to style it out and say sorry everyone that was meant as a private joke for wife, didn't mean to send to all. OK he said and started typing "I'm sorry .." but was on the train which jolted while he was still on the second word and he accidentally sent it prematurely and then noticed with horror that it had autocorrected to "I'm dirty".

Fortunately it caused hilarity rather than offence and he was teased mercilessly until our child had left.

Our younger child is nearly 10 years younger so when she started at the same school he said "at least there's no likely to be anyone left who remembers me". Sure enough first drop off he did he noticed a lady staring at him in the playground before announcing "oh I know you, it's Dirty Spearmint Rhino Dad!"

My friend asked my advise about how to reply to a message from our mutual friend who had cancelled plans last minute yet again (she was well known for doing this often with stupid and unbelievable excuses rather than just telling us the truth)
I was telling her what to reply and she was saying it out loud as she typed the message... except she wasn't typing a message she was sending a voice note, and at the end of the voice note I could be heard saying 'or you can just tell her to stop being such an annoying flaky lying b*tch and f@&k all the way off!' Didn't realise till it was sent.

OMG 😱 hope they found the cat at leastb

We have group chats at work and one afternoon I was taking call after call after call - I decided to vent to a colleague over message about the rest of my (inept) team - I think I said something along the lines of ‘am I the only c taking phone calls today in this useless f team?’ but instead of sending it to my friend I popped it into our team group chat - hahahaha had to fully play it down like I was joking it was so bad

Come on, it can’t be any worse than the time I WhatsApped DH to tell him what sordid things I was going to do to him when he got home from work then got a message back from my sister thanking me but passing up on the offer 😳😂

That is the first time I have fully laughed out loud at mumsnet 😂. Just the thought of that second email… I’m dirty… 😂😂

Not quite the same thing, but I accidentally called a baby group acquaintance at bedtime and it went to her voicemail. My husband then made unwelcome advances - leading to a long exchange about how I was just too tired and no way, not tonight, not interested – and so on. At the end of which I realized my phone was still connected to her voicemail...

I could never look her in the eye again...

Literally just last night I screen shot my sons dads messages about another new girlfriend to show my mum and sent it to him 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

I sent a message to my husband complaining about him and his family and sent it on the group chat that had him and his family on. Couldn't even delete it back then I tried to take the Internet off so it would fail and no one would read it but that didn't work and it went through 😭
I rang his mum to apologise and she wasn't impressed. His dad on the other hand understood my perspective and felt bad for me and kind of understood what I was complaining about and helped me out. Still the panic was horrible and it spoilt my whole day! And felt uncomfortable for quite a while!

I always think these types of posts are journalists trying to get a filler story…

My colleague at the time and I had issues with a third one, she was pushy, insensitive, gossipy and just generally unpleasant. She then left and my colleague and I were laughing and saying how relieved we were. I then opened an email which was from the colleague who left, saying 'Hiya! Will be in town tomorrow, let's have a catch up lunch'. So I typed 'AAAARRRGGGHH! NO! and sent it to my friend colleague - except I had hit 'reply to all', so former colleague got it.

oh yes
complained about a colleague to a colleague
so awkward
i still work with her

In the good old days of MSN, my mum was messaging my sister's boyfriend while he and my sister were going through a break up. (My mum and the boyfriend were on friendly terms, nothing weird.) She tried to copy and paste what he'd said so my sister could read it, but ended up pasting it straight back into the chat with him. Because she thought this looked dodgy, she then panicked and started to type random letters and numbers before claiming that the computer was on the blink. He was like, er, ok... Don't think he bought it!

I once received a very saucy text from my brother in law which I managed to read before he realised and deleted it. I don’t have those blue ticks activated so he’s no idea if I saw it or not! I’ve never told anyone, including my husband..

I sent the Class Parents group a message: “What do you think??? Maybe a bit too feminine? Photo to follow.”
I truly was talking about light fittings.
But they didn’t know that…

That’s nothing. A friend was staying with a mutual friend who is an alcoholic, she messaged me to say it was all really difficult as X has not stopped drinking since she arrived. However, instead of sending it to me she sent it to X. She was mortified, however it acted as a wake up call to X.

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. 🙈

She removed the video of.. achem.. a gigantic veiny black double ended dildo from her lettuce once she woke up to 200+ messages and calls.

she went completely MIA for 2 years and moved up north somewhere.

she's back again now and coincidently expecting a baby with the meant for recipient..
