If that happened to me, I'd become a Buddhist nun, shave my head, and live in the mountains forever.

Not that I'd do something like that (no judgment though, it's just not my thing).

There really is no styling out the dildo one. Unless she announced the next morning it was actually launching her OnlyFans career.

I messaged " get a load of these cxxts" to my best mum friend because there was a ridiculous debate happening on the year group WhatsApp. Only I put it in the actual group by accident. Now I have to style it out for the next five years of primary school. Or move.

Oh dear god

I did it in real life once: we lived on a narrow road where parking was a nightmare, and I let myself into the house calling hello to my husband and complaining about the dickhead who'd parked outside 'like a wanker' and wondering loudly how long it had taken him to get to the curb. He was my husband's new colleague who he'd invited over to welcome him to the area... 😱

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

Me too. I just snorted diet coke out. It was the second message. hilarious.

autumncrisp · 26/06/2025 21:02

I both laugh and die slowly everytime I think about it 😂

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..

OMG someone should have been banging on her door to alert her

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!' 😳😂

Not a funny one but I sent a text to my exH in the middle of the break-up, laying out exactly how he made me feel in clear and detailed (emotional/angry) terms. Only I sent it to my son's piano teacher by mistake. Poor woman must have got a shock before she realised the mix up. She was very sweet about it but I was mortified.

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 :-(

Oh no …hope you did manage to “move away” eventually x

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 🤣

Omg… quick thinking 👍

This is not as good as many here but funny all the same. I had a guy in to look at my heating pump, which needed a part. I saved his name as 'john name pump'. The day he was messaging about the part, my DDs friend was having a paddling pool party. About an hour before she realised her pump was broken so asked if anyone had a spare pump on the WhatsApp group. Several texts followed about pumps, thankfully someme else confirmed they were on their way with one. I replied, accidentally to the pump guy 'Girls are in swimsuits and very excited!!'.

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.

Haaa…awful but funny 😂

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 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!

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".

Why on earth did you have his number?

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 🤣

Im crying laughing at some of these ‘I’m dirty’ 😂

My friend did this and sent a really filthy message meant for her husband to her friend who is in a wheel chair and no way would she be able to do what my friend was suggesting. It was so so embarrassing. She never mentioned it.

I’d been to a wedding do and text my husband and parents (who were staying) a group imessage to say I was on my way home. DH, who had been out separately, sent a filthy reply, intended for me, to the whole group. I rang him and he was so pissed he couldn’t work out how to delete it. I had to drive for 90 minutes absolutely seething and completely mortified. When I got home, I commando crawled into my sleeping parents rooms, grabbed both their phones and spent the next hour working out their passcodes to delete the message. Then commando crawled back into the room to put the phones back. I’m still not over it.

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. 🙈

Edited

We have a winner 😂

More than 20 years ago now, I worked with a guy we all thought was really annoying. I sent an IM to my friend saying “why doesn’t he just shut up” but sent it to annoying guy by mistake. Retraction wasn’t possible. I just wanted to hide under my desk for the rest of the day.

its so embarrassing when you can’t get out of it …🫣

One of our neighbours sent what appeared to be a slightly blurry pic of her bottom to our road WhatsApp.

Obviously though, we are British, so we never spoke of it and went back to our usual content of missing cats, recommendations for plumbers, and wondering what that noise is.

I was having a bad day...

I felt my flatmate (who worked for the same company in another department) was selfish and messy.
I thought my close colleague was being lazy.

I got an email from the manager that tipped me over the edge, so I typed out two furious DMs

  1. I have a terrible manager and an awful flatmate because...
  2. I have a terrible manager and a lazy colleague because...

You can guess where I sent them...

And no I'm not friends with either of them now, but we were only ever intended to be there for a 9 month contract, and then we went our separate ways. I did repair the day-to-day relationship, mostly by saying "I'm sorry. I was being moody and unreasonable." and owning it.

I’ve just said l didn’t mean to be that harsh and sorry l acted like a brat …time will tell ☹️
