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!

Which, to be fair, does suggest some very young childbearing, given that if everyone was 16 when they had their first child, he would have to be 80 to be a great great grandfather

I thought the same and assumed they were all having babies at c16.

My sil sent a message meant for her mother to her au-pair. The message was a long bitch about the au-pair and how she was getting the sack. I was scarlet for her when she told me but I also couldn’t stop laughing.

During lockdown I was doing pretty much non-stop Zoom meetings. It was towards the end of the day and my boyfriend, who I’d not been able to see for months popped up on WhatsApp and said he missed me. I replied, “I’m just in a boring meeting but I’d rather be fucking you.”

I was sharing my screen.

my boss said, “I don’t think we need to see that.”

Still can’t bear to think about it.

Oh my god I'm dying for you

Hahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣

I’m still amazed I wasn’t sacked.

I once had to contact a VIP by WhatsApp so I duly wrote a very formal note almost like a short business email and sent it over. Fine.

My phone - and I SWEAR I didn’t touch anything - then spontaneously followed this up with the “sticker” of the heart-eyes unicorn.

This little chap.

This made me laugh more than is natural or healthy 🤣

These are great 😂

Very tame in comparison but my daughter stole my phone a couple of times when she was 3/4 and started messing with it.
She must have text 3 colleagues (I didn't know that well) 1) a random link from google news about Donald Trump 2) photos of Instagram hairstyles and 3) A WhatsApp message of only around 50 emojis 😂🫣

👆 This cracked me up😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Not me my son,he was around 21 at the time. He was a newbie working in a job full of older you'll do it my way employees..Anyways eventually he walked out after having a blazing row with the manager.On his way home he texted his gf "I love you" only to send it to said manager!

Too funny @Zocola ! How did manager respond?!

He didn't! luckily enough 😆

My name is often first in most people’s phone books, so back in the old days of texting, where you wrote a text, pressed send, then picked a name from the phone book list, I would get accidentally messaged all the time when someone double pressed the middle button. I was in my late teens, early twenties, so used to get lots of raunchy messages from friends meant for others at 4am. It was constantly hilarious and often surprising the things people you know quite well, say in a dirty text.

What wasn’t so funny, was at 17, I was out in a club with some mates and a lad I was dating. We were all having a great time. One of our mutual mates, accidentally sent a text to me, basically telling my bf that he couldn’t believe he wanted to break up with me because I was wonderful and he should reconsider his plan. I was drunk and went off to the toilets, sobbing. I think I then begged him to change his mind. He didn’t. The whole thing was quite mortifying.

A member of my family once had a neck surgery. We were all miles from one another, so someone was keeping us posted as the surgery progressed, but he wasn't too tech savvy so messaged us each individually, and once the person was in recovery we got sent this really gory graphic pic of what looked like a partial autopsy on a corpse. Of course the family all responded with lots of love and compassion. But later on I got a phone call from him, he was in tears with laughter, he'd accidentally sent the pic, no context, to someone he didn't even know. He didn't realise it until the guy responded something along the lines of "what the fuck man, who the hell is this?".

Mine was more poor timing than an auto correct or wrong recipient. I was looking at funny clips on instagram, and would send things to my DF that I thought would make him laugh. I sent him this clip of someone falling, but taking ages to do it, like cartoon falling. Later I opened whatsapp to see that he had posted earlier to say someone was in hospital after a serious fall, head wound, awful stuff. And it looked like my reply was this stupid clip.

I once having a text conversation with my sister about constipation. Glam I know.

She was saying have you tried senna orange juice etc etc

I messaged " her "back at 6.30 am

I finally did it!
I've been for the biggest poo of my life.
I feel like I've just given birth.

Went for a shower.
Got out checked my messages.
My regional manager had replied
? I'm pleased... I think.

He had messaged the split second I hit reply don't forget the memory stick today.
And it replied to him instead of my sister.

He was gorgeous too.
And we had a massive meeting together that day too.

Once received a very odd series of messages in Facebook Messenger from a friend. Just emojis and stickers. I kept replying asking if she was ok but the messages kept coming. Then got a sound recording. When I played it it was her snoring. She’d just flown back from Australia and was so exhausted and jet lagged she’d fallen asleep with her phone in her hand.

I once received a text from an unknown number which appeared to have sent to my wrong number.

I informed him of this. He then proceeded to text me for half the day, first a bit flirty, then a bit filthier, finally bordering on totally seedy.

We were loving it in the office and kept it going for a bit.

Finally he asked for my name. I replied "Andrew".

I never heard from him again.

I once recorded a fart on my phone and was pretty loud. Was sending it to my friend on Facebook messenger as she dared me to do it. Accidentally sent it to my then slimming world consultant. I hadn't realised and she said I'm glad to hear your definitely on the diet. I was mortified and never do that again

This has me crying

Omg I’m dead 😂

on the subject of autocorrect, I once messaged my mum saying “I’m leaving now”. Except I didn't check it and what i actually sent was “I’m LESBIAN now”

For the record I’m not, but a very awkward conversation ensued.

In my 20s I worked for a small high street law firm whilst retaining a fairly wild social life.

One night in the middle of a particularly messy session I realised I had pocket dialled the office and taken up the whole answerphone memory with our debauched and inappropriate conversations.

I was only saved by a series of uncharacteristically lucky breaks. The office had a dodgy alarm system that often went off randomly and, as I lived closest, I had a set of keys so I could pop in and switch it off. So I rushed home and let myself in, then to my horror realised there was a passcode on the reception phone. At this point I thought i was completely fucked and doomed to be given my P45 the next morning. But I thought I might as well try a couple of likely combinations. Well whaddya know, on entering “1234” I was in! So I managed to delete the answerphone message (which I realised at that point would DEFINITELY have got me sacked) and no one in the office was any the wiser.

I’m sure I had the people I trusted most and knew me best as my first contacts by adding AA to their name! Must have looked like an AA membership….
