Tell me your text message horror stories

[PumpkinSpicedLatte]

please make me feel less sick by sharing your horror stories of sending messages to the person you’re talking about/screenshots. Bonus points if it’s worked related!

Outing to all that know me.... i once sent my boss a text meant for my dad on a friday night after I had a few wines....
"Meet me at the hotel at 2pm. Love you"

Next morning checked my phone and I'd sent that to my boss. Turns out he was going on a stag weekend and was meeting his "friends " at a similar time.

Caused chaos. My "sorry that was meant for my dad" really didn't help

He was unable to go on the stag weekend.... no idea what other trouble that had caused but i can only imagine!

I was whinging about someone at the weekend. Yep.. I sent it to the person I was moaning about and I didn’t realise until they replied ‘You’ve sent those to me.’

I wasn’t fazed it’s nothing I wouldn’t have said to their face anyway.

I was chatting with my husband while we were also chatting with his parents on WhatsApp. My husband accidentally sent them a message grumbling about something they said, which was meant for me! He managed to delete it all before they saw it, it wouldn't have been a big drama because it wasn't too awful but not great all the same!

My exh, while we were still married, sent me a WhatsApp asking what pasta to buy, followed by another message arranging a meeting with the OW and describing what he was going to do to her 🤢 he deleted it pretty quickly but I'd seen it.....

I sent a picture of some side boob to my boss meaning to ask DD if it was too much side boob for me to wear the dress.

It wouldn't have been so bad if I'd looked ok but I'd got scraped back wet hair and no make up after a bath so I didn't look at all glamorous

We need to know what you did @PumpkinSpicedLatte ....

Getting ready for a hot date, simultaneously texting my best friend and the date. Accidentally sent 'scrubbing, shaving and plucking like mad!' to the date 😮

I was the recipient of one of these when I was the lodger of someone I worked with.

I had a boyfriend and we'd been out the night before and were not in a rush to get up the next morning (Saturday) we were also both shift workers so didn't see that much of each other on the weekend.

Anyway, I got a message from the landlady saying "they are still in bed!!"

I then heard the door slam very shortly afterwards which was presumably as a result of her realising what she had done and making herself scarce 🤣

She came home hours later and hugged me apologetically. I didn't really care, she hadn't said anything particularly bad it was just funny that it was obvious she had been bitching about me to someone.

I moved in with the boyfriend not long after 😃

😂

Years ago had a bad date with a man called Dominic. It was a one nighter I suppose (and certainly was after I did what I did!)

Sex was terrible. He left soon after and I immediately texted my best friend with the message 'ugh! Just hideous! I'm going to call him Micro Dom from now on as could barely feel it'

Of course, sent it to him didn't I?

Still go hot and cold when I think about it, 18 years later ..

I once texted my boss instead of my husband asking him to pick up some dishwasher tablets from Sainsburys. Only realised when my boss returned from his lunch break and plonked a box of dishwasher tablets on my desk!

A friend was once selling handmade Christmas decorations. In all honesty, they were terrible. I wouldn't want one if they were free. But I bought one to be a nice friend, and agreed to share with friends and family to get her more custom.
Accidentally sent her a message, with a photo of her decorations attached, saying "I know these are completely hideous but my friend is trying her best. If I send you the money would you please buy one from her so she thinks she's got some custom?"

A couple of other people had also bought from her, and she wouldn't believe that I didn't pay them to do it. I felt terrible for ages after.

This is my favourite 🙈😂😂

That's actually very sweet!

Once messaged my line manager saying something like 'Just leaving now, can't wait to see you! Love you xx'

It may have been slightly more soppy/mushy then my memory allows me to remember.

He text back almost immediately with 'I hope to fuck that wasn't meant for me!'

My work friend dropped me in it by pressing reply on an email from another more senior colleague and saying “you’re right, he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about does he myname” instead of forwarding to me.

To be fair he took it quite well, came over and said “yep, I don’t so can you explain it to me”. I still cringe thinking about it 😣

Have also texted big boss and said “thank god it’s Friday” when meaning to text DH. He was also pretty good about it!

When I was in my early 20s and a bit too dramatic, a friend (call her Louisa) was being a twat and I sent a text to mutual friend complaining about her. It went something like

FFS, Louisa! She's being a complete arsehole. I am completely done with her, I swear.

Louisa instantly replied 'who is?' - mercifully she assumed I was addressing her not talking about her! I then had to pretend I was talking about our mutual friend and invent a story about something she did. Which was nice of me.

We're late 40s now, still friends, and I only just confessed the other week

(I did also send a joke about dogging to a client by mistake once, which was far far worse)

I had been dating a guy, Jason, for a while (teenagers) we had built having sex to into this big romantic occasion that neither of us would ever live up to.

When we got around to it he lasted about 3 seconds.

I messaged my friend after he left saying "I'll need to start calling him premature ejacu-jason from now on"..... only I sent it to him.

In all fairness, he did laugh about it.

Brother and Managing Director had the same name. On my brothers 40th I sent him Happy Birthday you old twat

Yes, it went to my MD. Thankfully he was great and saw the funny side

Not me but a colleague sent a text intended for then new girlfriend (now wife) saying: “Fancy a shag in an hour?”

The message went to the (female, quite elderly) Chair of one of his clients.

Apparently she was very good natured about it…

Was a work email... was meant to be internal but sent it to the client .... It read "Sharon (the client) is bat shit crazy".

Legit had my phone in my hand one morning as a penis pic appeared in my WhatsApp from a colleague and then was immediately deleted. I don’t have my read receipts or online on so he didn’t know I’d seen it and I never said anything and he probably still thinks to this day he got away with it.

That was such a lovely thing to do! (Minus the sending the message to the creator friend)! 😂

A friend, dating a girl called Laura, absolutely crumpled on a night out, head in hands going "noooo!"
He'd been texting another mate "Laura's a great girl but I just can't stop thinking about Jenny" and sent it to Laura.
The memory of his panic stayed with me and I'm so careful double checking what I send now.

Just loving all of these -best thread!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Text my Dad and told him that Mum was going to lick his arse.

Bloody predictive text.
