To go and crawl into a pit of shame and never show my face again?

[Objection]

From the OP who bought you "Girl and Skirt vs Wind and Tesco Window..."

I've just sent a picture of my boobs to my FIL.

I'm not really a flasher-type person (aside from in Tescos, clearly) however my OH likes getting the odd boob snap. I've only ever done it once before.
I'm working away this weekend and OH is pining so I send a quick snap, nothing fancy - just my knockers.

But I haven't sent it to him, have I? Oh no, because that wouldn't be horrifically embarrassing. I instead send it to FIL, similar first name, same surname, text message above OHs.

I can't think of a solution but to go and hide away forever. AIBU just to never see PIL again?

Any ideas how I can salvage this?

no, not really, bad one

Keep your fingers crossed he doesn't send anything back eh?

OMG! Have you thought about leaving the country?

I would text FIL apologising, and apologising some more and explain the mistake. I'm not sure you can just pretend it didn't happen!

wow op. Think I would emigrate to Australia!

Omg omg omg!

Don't think my fil would ever recover! Poor poor you. Have you told your dh?

Ooops... joke it off with an 'oops' wrong person.

And never speak of it again.

So funny!!!!!
I cannot think of any reasonable or plausible excuse.
How's he likely to respond?

So funny.....

Brilliant!! Good luck seeing all the family at the next lot of birthdays/Christmas!

Will he recognise it's you from the picture?

How far away is FIL? Any chance of getting round there and burning the phone before he sees it!? Here's hoping he doesn't send you something back in return!

So your face isn't in it? Could you text FIL again, pretending its a text to everyone in your address book, & saying 'my phones been hacked, don't open any photo attachments'

ha!!!! my FIL would be utterly bemused. Cancel Christmas perhaps?

Send a follow up text saying 'can you believe XXX' sent me that by mistake haha, then send another one saying 'whoops I meant to forward that message to dh not you, please don't tell xxx if you ever meet her' crap excuse but it's the best I have.

though, how mortifying.

It'll have the OPs name from his contact list on it Tarty.

Change your name quickly OP

Has he replied? Does he know how to look at picture messages on his phone?

Ha ha epic fail.

There's no chance you've had some recent breastfeeding related issues that he knows about? You could have been showing him what you meant when you said your nipples were sore or summat .

Not my face.

But i am wearing the special necklace they bought me for my last birthday...

Lol at supergem!

WillSing has the solution.

Oh no. Oh no. What if he thinks I'm saying thank you for the necklace in my own "special" way?

Hahahahahahah,

Send FIL another text message saying that your slightly drunk friend thought it would be funny to send a pic of her boobs to your DH (while you were in another room, to see if he noticed it wasn't you but has sent it to the wrong number.

He will know this is not true but if he is a good man he will pretend he believes you.

I remember tesco window skirt thread and I'm very much a fan of your work btw.

Tell FIL that they're someone elses, but I don't know why you'd be sending someone else's boobs! I really think you need to find your passport!
