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!

Oh my god 😂

How did the respond? 😂

When my ID twins were born the were very very like their Dad .

I sent a pic of them to my friend , jokingly entitled "Who's the Daddy?"

Except I sent it to a random stranger.
Silence for 24 hours then I got a terse "Who is this?"

Don't know if it was an enraged wife or an ashen faced bloke!

I once sent a cat meme to a contact in our local area. She has the same name as a colleague. She replied with a thank you and that she had had a bad day and it cheered her up. I then deliberately included her in any cat memes I sent until I left that job!

OH MY GOD

This is hilarious!!!! And cringing!!

"Not in a sex way!
Hahahahahaha!
Just because of the cat!"

That is fucking brilliant @Tiredforfive45

When he was about 18 my brother once messaged my (very conservative and boring) mother at around 2am, saying how amazing in bed she was, and even though it had taken a while, how thunderously he had come. Fair play to her, she calmy woke him up at 7am by just shoving the text message in front of his sleepy hungover face. 🤣

Maybe that's a word that Hatty commonly ends many of her messages with, and the phone has 'learned'?!

That said, phones sometimes do have very strange glitches to their algorithms. I had an old Windows phone and the very first time I typed the word 'functioning', it offered as the potential next word "well', "OK" and "vagina" ?!?!?!?!

Was simultaneously in a work chat (polite & harmless, mostly people arranging lifts or shift swaps) & a scurrilous bitchfest with a workmate.

We all got an email summoning us to a Very Important Briefing next day.

'Wonder what that's all about?' texts workmate.

'oh it'll be so we can all have "Property of Bastardcorp" tattooed on our arses' I reply.

Of course I didn't notice that she'd asked on the Bastardcorp chat, not on our private chat.

CEO Big Bastard thought it was quite funny, luckily, although he did advise me not to ever contribute to the staff suggestion box...😬

It was on a phone. With autocorrect. What on earth does the layout of a keyboard have to do with it? That's not how autocorrect works.

My husband's best man texted me the day after our wedding something like this:

"You're a very sexy girl and you were very horny last night!"

He is a good friend and endearingly odd so my husband and I were both just wondering if this was one of his jokes or something, until we heard he had got off with another one of my friends after the wedding and the message was meant for her! 😂

Oh come on. There is much worse on here. Perhaps you should avoid threads like this if you want to be all cats bum mouth about things

Best!!!!!😂😂😂

Hahaha actually cried laughing reading this 😂😂😂

Not exactly a text message faux pas, but I was once doing a temp job and the person sitting opposite me was a real hottie. Heard him on the phone chasing an internet order that hadn't arrived and he had to read out his address. Nosey little me thought I'd type it into google maps and check it out later, I don't know why, you know when you have a crush and anything about them is interesting 🙈Unfortunately for me, my fat fingers must have pressed go as my phone decided to blurt out at full volume 'directions to [insert his address here]' for the whole office to hear. Still mortified thinking about it.

Have you done a thread before about this? It's identical to one from a good while back

I was working away from home for a couple of weeks, staying in the same hotel as a painfully shy work colleague. It was quite close to where a friend of mine lived, so went to stay with her for the weekend. Drunk on the Sat night I sent a text to a man I'd been flirting with at a house party: "so are you coming back to Sophie's house for sex, or what?"

except
I sent it to my work colleague
😫

@PrincessHoneysuckle
No sorry not me!
Not sure whether it's better or worse that it hasn't only happened to me 😂

The thread is about doing something embarrassing not nasty.

Not a text message, but a phone call. This was back in the late 90's, so just as cars in phones were becoming more common.

My then DP was out for the day with his brother (I'll use IL references even though no-one was married because it's easier). They'd had to go a long way for some reason - can't remember why - but it was quite a big thing and they'd been out all day, driving a long distance.

My SIL (BIL's DP) did NOT get on with her in laws (my DP's parents) and they were very much low, almost no contact as a result of MIL's interfering.

[Backstory: MIL was fine with me, but BIL was her "baby boy" and SIL was a fair bit older than him so was v difficult for MIL to accept.]

They were much later back than anticipated, so MIL, worrying, called me to find out if I'd heard from them. In that call she said "Can you believe it? Julie^ called me to see if I'd heard from them!" She sounded delighted that perhaps they were starting to turn a corner and get on.

So when my DP calls me to give an update on their journey, I say "Oh - your Mum called. Guess what?? Julie called her!"

My DP "errrr.... ha ha.... John^ (BIL) is laughing at that!"

Yup - I'd forgotten that this new fangled thing called hands free had been invented and I'd just gossiped about my SIL, right in front of my BIL!

In the grand scheme of things it wasn't anything bad, thank god, but 19 year old me wanted the ground to open up and swallow me!

Still makes me cringe to this day when I think about it.

^name changed!

I can read and comment if I like. That's my opinion it's a vile thing to text and implies that the person doing the texting is perfect themselves and is putting someone else down.
Definitely not fun. Vile, tactless, nasty.
You won't change my opinion.

😂Ohhhhhh you didn't! I love this

My cat is staring at me like 🤔as I laugh my arse off here. These are amazing

😂

This is hilarious! Wish I could remember my bloopers 🤣🤣
