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 …

Well who knows, she could've fallen asleep with the dildo still in situ..

it genuinely did happen. I was one of the ones who saw it and called her about 20 times.

Sent a voice note meant for my best friend to the school mums group — full of swearing and me moaning about the PTA. Couldn’t delete it fast enough. Spent the rest of the term avoiding eye contact at pick-up. Honestly, it happens to the best (and worst) of us.

I can’t bear to contemplate it …

Haaaaa…..🤣🤣🤣

Omg that’s both horrific and hilarious 🤣😱

Maybe that was a hint about what was in it for you if you found the cat. 😂

Received a very saucy text out of the blue from my boss, who wasn’t very tech savvy at the best of times and preferred his old Nokia to anything up to date. I knew it was a complete mistake because we’ve worked together for years and are more like an old married couple! He apologised profusely the next day and told me it was because his wife and I have the same name and he had felt so bad afterwards, he immediately rang and confessed to her what he’d done. She was thought it was hilarious and was more concerned that my name was clearly above hers in his list of contacts!

Whilst holding a three way conversation on WhatsApp with my adult daughter and son and not really concentrating, my son asked me ‘off the record’ what I thought of my daughter’s latest BF? I replied saying, “If I’m honest, I think xxxxxx comes across as a complete nob” And yes, I sent it to the wrong child and no, I had no time to delete it.

Eventually, xxxxxx did turn out to be a complete nob, so we can at least laugh about it now.

I copied and pasted a particularly filthy excerpt from a 'dating' profile on a swinger's site and sent it to my DH for him to marvel at - then copied (so I thought) a link to a foodbank provider for someone in my work group chat who had asked for one - yes, the copy function hadn't worked and I pasted the absolute filth in my group chat. I nearly died. Deleted immediately and nobody ever mentioned seeing it but it taught me a lesson about using my personal phone on the work group chat and I got my work phone fixed PDQ. Worst thing is I'm the manager!

Mrs Lighthouse if it makes you feel better, this thread has the potential to enter the coveted ‘classics’. I’m proper laughing at some of the gaffs people have made, keep em coming!

Happy ending 🤣

I've just remembered another one. Or two... My late fiancé sent a proper filthy msg intended for me to his 80 yr old mum. She replied with I don't think so dear, even if I wasn't your mother I'm far too old for that 🤣

And I accidentally left my phone open on a very dirty msg to him. Photos, everything. In my primary school classroom. Thank fuck no kids saw it (it was on my desk) but a colleague did and cackled her tits of while saying 'CLOSE YOUR PHONE NOW!' 😳😂

Tbf, that is often the most fitting reply to the mum WhatsApp group I’ve somehow found myself in.

I would have followed up with ‘sorry that was for DH, but as it’s relevant I may as well just leave it in this group too’

Terrible but funny 🤣

😂nooo

Not exactly the same but still pretty mortifying. I was having a flirtation with a colleague at work that I hoped would turn into more. One day he mentioned he was visiting his parents and had just helped his mum set up Facebook. It was back in the day where your Facebook feed might say ‘xxx is now friends with yyy’. I guessed it was his mum and clicked to have a nose…but accidentally sent her a friend request. I cancelled it immediately but she got an email notification.

She asked her son if he knew who I was and I got a message from the guy saying ‘did you add my mum on facebook…?’

I nearly died of shame. Thankfully he didn’t decide I was a psycho stalker and he’s now my husband. I’ve just about lived it down with my MIL!

I remember being infatuated with a fella in my twenties. I meant to search his name in the search bar on Facebook but it ended up as my status. Didn’t realise for hours.

I thought of many ways to squirm but just apologised and said l hadn’t meant for it to sound so harsh 🙄 weak defense 🤣

That’s hilarious 😆

I once sent a naked photo to a group chat by mistake 🙈 it still makes me cringe with horror. A lovely lady on there messaged asking if I had meant to send that message. I didn’t have a clue what she was talking about until I checked!!! She then told me I had a gorgeous figure 😂. I suspect more as she knew I was embarrassed rather than because she was flirting!

Kids were driving me mad one summer holidays, I was texting DH telling him how stressed I was. Then my dad text me during this conversation and I replied to him instead of my DH saying 'honestly think I'm going to have a heart attack'
cue an extremely panicked call from dad thinking I was dying 🤣

These are too funny 😂

This is the first time something made me cry with laughter on MN 🤣

Selected photos from my phone to airdrop to the digital photo frame that’s on the wall in our kitchen, I kept ticking rows of photos by accident. Very easily done.

Kept deleting boring work ones etc. But what did I leave on there? A photo of my tits that I had sent to my husband. My son and his girlfriend were standing in front of it and enjoying it - laughing at funny childhood pics etc. Then they went silent. My son actually thinks I did it on purpose. But, thankfully, he thought it was a random arty shot (not of me) as it’s black and white and actually the shadow of my bare tits on a bright wall. But, embarrassing nonetheless.

So easy to do 😱 happy ending though !
