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!

This one really tickled me 😂

Not a text, but about 20 years ago my boyfriend discovered that you could send a text to a landline, the phone would then ring & an automated voice would read the message to you.
One day when I was at work he texted my mobile asking if I’d got his landline text. He didn’t realise I was at work & my mother was at my house childminding, so my mother had answered my phone to be told by the BT voice ‘you do great blow-jobs & I’m going to fuck you from behind’. I was almost to embarrassed to look at her when I got home.

New job, on a Teams call with my colleagues and trying to make a good first impression. My Internet connection wasn't great and I dropped off the call and had to rejoin. People were talking so I wrote a message in the chat to say 'sorry I disappeared then, I just got licked out'. Noticed immediately and edited to 'kicked out', but the hoots of laughter coming through my headphones told me I was too late.

More of an autocorrect/proof reading issue but my teen son sent me 'give me sex' instead of 'give me a sec' he was mortified 😆

Oh, no!

Did she know that he'd sent it? That probably terrified her, actually, as she would probably have assumed that it was somehow done by a filthy perv getting his kicks, who could have been outside/near, for all she knew.

That was one big thing about landlines: they were usually shared by/answered by more than one person, unless you lived alone and never had anybody visiting - it's quite a modern thing whereby everybody has a phone that (usually) only they use.

@LorettyTen I'm having a bit of a bad time at the moment and this made me burst myself laughing, so thank you😆!

Having spent an enjoyable afternoon repotting my houseplants ( I know how to live) I sent message to family whattapp telling them " I'd reported my houseplants"
My son said " why what they done? "
pretty tame but still caused some sniggers

😂😂😭

Let my friend use my phone for a sexy pic for her boyfriend (she didn't have a camera phone) she accidently sent it to my very religious FIL instead

I'm glad I cheered you up a bit and I hope things get better for you.

Not a text message, however this mix up still makes me chuckle:
I went to uni close to home, so I didn't move out of parents. There was a gig in in the union one night so I wanted a lift off my dad. I called his office and asked to speak to him, colleague says he'll put me through.
Phone gets picked up, I say hi, he says hi, I think he sounds a bit odd so I ask him if he's ok and he says fine so I arrange my lift with him, no problem.
3 hours later I got a call from my dad asking if I had, by chance, called his office that afternoon. Turns out the reason he sounded odd was because I wasn't speaking to him, I was speaking to his boss who, in turn, has a daughter who attended the same uni as me. I thought he was Dad, he thought I was his daughter and only realised the mistake when he asked his daughter what time she wanted a lift and she had no idea what he was talking about!

I once sent a client a text message that was meant to read - You know me, I’m the analogy queen. Unbeknown to me (until he replied) I had actually written, You know me, I’m the anal love queen. 😕
He was quite sweet about it but I felt filthy.

I WhatsApped the building group “ I’m so glad they’ve moved out, they were really noisy and had horrible arguments.” Of course the “subjects “ were still on the chat….

I lied and said that a friend sent it to see whether BT had any kind of filters. I don’t think she believed me, but it made things more comfortable for both of us to pretend that she did. She was probably thinking ‘so that’s what you’re up to EOW when the children are at your ex-husband’s’.

On a work trip away with team, my boss shows me a text message he’s received not once but over and over again, in the space of 10 mins. It’s pretty raunchy and explicit. Do I think it’s a scam? Number unknown to him. No idea.

An hour later friend/colleague who overheard this confesses to me it was her and she accidentally sent it to boss instead of her partner 😂. She’d then put the phone in her bag where something had pressed on it and it kept sending!!! She is mortified!! She quickly deleted his number.

Friend has good sense of humour, so I decide to prank her and get someone I know (but she doesn’t) to text her back pretending to be boss “I didn’t know you felt this way”…

Her face was priceless!! 😂 She refused to go to the work event as she was too embarrassed.

I did own up but it still makes me laugh whenever I think of it.

😬

🤣🫣😳

Best thread 😂😂😂

I once gave my telephone number to a man who had been photographing/videoing an event my dd’s were involved in. He’d asked for it to WhatsApp on the film. He then proceeded to message me in a way that had nothing to do with the event. I ignored him and messaged a mummy friend to tell her that I thought he was gross and low level predatory … and sent it to him instead 😂 oh well …

😂😂😂
I'm willing to bet that your hubby is the only man in history to have been shaken awake at 4am to delete his Grandad's knob pic.

Jesus, why are you talking about kids wanking?

I can't imagine anyone I know sending a text like that.

Not inappropriate , but was taken into hospital after a life changing medical condition . Sent a message to a friend but instead sent it a group message to a bunch of ex work colleagues I'd not seen for 5 years !
