Oh another one, in my home town there was a car park by a beach and there were rumours that a lot of people would go dogging there. As teenagers who had just learnt to drive, me and my best friend would often on a Friday night go through the McDonald’s drive thru, and go for a drive down the coast road, chatting and listening to music. We would often drive by the supposed dogging spot hoping to catch some action (we were daft 17 year olds, just wanting a giggle). Even though we’d spend about two hours together, driving by the rumoured spot was five mins out of the evening, but we’d always refer to it as “going dogging.”

One night I text my friend saying “what time you want to go dogging tonight?” And lo and behold, I’d accidentally sent it to my mum who was sat right next to me. I was so red faced trying to dig myself out of the hole!

This is the best one ☝️ Still laughing

The day after I found out I was pregnant with our first, I sent a text to my husband at work, “Good morning Daddy ❤️.”

Accidentally sent it to a colleague.
Panicked.

”sorry. That was for my husband.”
”sometimes I just call him Daddy.”

Panicked more.

“Not in a sex way!”
”hahahahahahahahaha”
”Just because of the cat.”

Mortifying, honestly. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

She was lovely about it and once I announced my pregnancy she said she had figured as much but I still re-live it and cringe.

I am creased!!! 😂😂😂😂

I can't even remember the content - it was a long time ago and I have probably repressed this information. But I once sent something that completely overshared in my customary descriptive manner to the rest of my unholy trinity on our WhatsApp group.

Only I accidentally sent it to the Beavers parents' WhatsApp group.

They enjoyed it. I nearly died of shame 🤣

@clarepetal I know people in high stress jobs often have a dark sense of humour but that about school kids (and you) just seems grim 🤮

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 😮

😆

Friend texted me upset about her weight and saying she looks fat. My initial ‘noo’ got autocorrected to ‘moo’

lydiaaa · 23/10/2024 00:38

I will preface this by stating I was 18, immature and think its disgusting and wrong to comment on someone's appearance. It definitely taught me to be careful what I said about people.

My boss (DB) was a bit of a tyrant. After a particularly hard day in the office I sent a colleague a message stating all the terrible things DB had done that day. I then proceeded to go into detail about how she needs to wax her moustache and sort her breathe out. It was extremely harsh. You guessed it - sent it to boss. Couldn't even play it off as for someone else as I had used her initials. I followed it up with a "sorry that wasnt meant for you!". As if that made it better. I was ready to be sacked when I returned the next day and she pretended it never happened. Extremely out of character. She continued to be a nightmare but did not seem to hold it against me.

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!'

Love both of your bosses!

This is funny! I like the several levels of cringe you had to go through with this!

Luckily no wrong person texts, but an unfortunate autocorrect. Cousin text me, asked what I was up to. Texted him back; “Sitting out in the sun, drinking some coke”

Except coke autocorrected to come… and I didn’t notice… until he sent me so many laughing emojis I thought he’d had a seizure

Had a bit of a funny back and forth with my then-boyfriend where we were teasing each other. After a particularly good one I simply replied with 🖕
Except I was having a conversation with my line manager a few hours prior and accidentally sent it to him. No context, just 🖕
I was mortified, and this was a text with no way of deleting it. I went to him red-faced and told him that my last message was absolutely not meant for him, but for my boyfriend and apologised profusely. He never looks at his phone at work, so I had a few hours' wait. He told me the next day he'd been expecting a rather raunchy message, so the emoji was even more funny. Thank god he had a sense of humour!

LivelyMintViper · 23/10/2024 06:15

To my horrified teenage daughter I sent the message" I have finally found the most enormous cock". ( I had been looking for a large clock for my kitchen)

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 ..

Jesus, that's probably something that will stay with him for the rest of his life.

HectorPlasm · 23/10/2024 06:42

Texted my wife to say I was in a Waitrose. Autocorrect changed it to waitress ...

didgerididnt · 23/10/2024 07:45

I started at a new job in my early 20s, taking over a role from someone who was leaving. When she left after a week I inherited her email account...and the group chat she'd been in with four other girls in the office, bitching about my appearance, my accent, and the fact that I was trying to be friendly despite "obviously" being quite shy. (That was actually quite unpleasant, it really upset me!)

More fun is the one that I didn't actually receive. One night I received several panicked messages from one of DHs friends, then DH immediately had a phone call from his mate apologising profusely, completely beside himself...because he'd just accidentally sent a Snapchat to me instead of the woman he was dating.
Apparently it wasn't a proper dick pic, but there was "probably some penis". He was terrified I'd receive a selfie with him attempting to be saucy and think it was actually intended for me 😂
I'd deleted Snapchat ages ago. (DH did encourage me to download it again to see if the message had come through, purely because he thought it was so funny).

My then fiance had been away with work and I hadn’t seen him in four months, he was due home that day so I sent him a very detailed text outlining some planned activities for that evening, along with a photo, I sent it to the family whatsapp which included his mum and very elderly grandma. He didn’t twig this when he read it, thank god he didn’t reply, but neither did anyone else, so it remained there until his mum eventually sent another message a few days later. We were staying at their house, so I essentially gave them an order of service.

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!

That made me giggle. My old boss would have done that too and it wouldn’t have occurred to him to think it weird either he’d just do it because he was that mice.

Not in a sex way just because of the cat! 🤣

When DH and I were in the early days of seeing each other I sent him a photo of me face included (trying to look sexy) lying on the bed in see through lingerie but I sent it to a friend who I didn’t know that well instead who was the last person I had messaged before him 😬
She was good about it but I was mortified!

Hilarious!! My phone also changes “fab” to “fat” and I always have to double check before I comment on people’s photos 😂

One of the tamer messages but this had me really giggling. Think it was the fact the boss actually got the dishwasher tablets for you 🤭
