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!

I texted a friend to sorry you have a cold, but somehow it came out as
Sorry you’re ill, well deserved!

Instead of get better soon.

Oops.
Did she LTB

I think he replied something innocuous like 'For me?'

DP has just reminded me it was actually not for a threesome but for a foursome, and the text was something like "Booked date with couple for the 10th, they seem very interested, may come back to ours."

It was so mortifying it's practically wiped from my memory and I can't remember if I replied with an excuse - I think I may have tried to style it out as if we were arranging to meet new flatmates... agghhh

@alifetimeago1 😂😂😂 do you know what if I got that msg tho I would not think it was a foursome 😂

I went on a blind date, it went really well and the next day he texted to thank me for a lovely night. I texted back no thank you, I unfortunately omitted the comma, he never spoke to me again

That is brilliant 😂, please tell me what happened afterwards?!

The message from my one of my closest friends that was sent to me clearly in error because it was about me. She said some awful things and it still haunts me. I went NC and wonder how she is these days.

Newly single last year i was messaging a police officer, and one night he sent me a voice note saying he was at work but wished he was with me, but that would mean leaving work early, taking an few days off work and getting a plane to Greece! I was unfortunately not in Greece, so realised he'd meant it for someone else he was obviously chatting to! I found it quite amusing, and just replied that I wished I was in Greece! He just glossed over it and said, yes that would be nice. The next morning I was telling the girls at work in our morning meeting, and they were all saying that he sounds like a narcissist, all policemen are narcissists and arrogant! One of them said he looks like Wayne Couzens! Anyway a bit later i was on my break and went to send him a message. Realised I had accidentally sent him a voice note of the whole conversation!!!!! He had read it but I deleted as soon as I realised, then he messaged me saying, too late I've already listened to it!!! I have no idea how I managed to do that!!! To be fair, I didn't say anything mean or horrible, but I never heard from him again!!!

I had text my husband about someone calling me the C word in a carpark about a space so of course predictive text remembered that, My really good friend had been in hospital following a hysterectomy but her Aunt has also been really ill, you can imagine the message she received when I meant to text 'Hows your Aunt' 🤣😁🤯She replied 'Urm sore thanks''!!!!

19 years old at uni, I started sexting late at night this guy who was my fuck buddy. Let’s call him “ Dave” it was all going well, until one text came back saying “ im sooo going to blackmail you, unless you want mum to find out!” Dave had the same name as my 16 year old brother 😭😭😭

I was slagging off my mate to my other mutual mate. Anyway called him a complete dick and probably everything under the son including a spoilt mummy’s boy. I sent it to him. I’ve also had another mate do similar to me 🤣🤣🤣.

Long story short. I have two sisters one called Janet and one called Alice. Alice had a daughter and called her Janet after my sister. So a niece and sister with the same name. Janet’s daughters name is Amelia.

amelia now in her 20’ messages me that she likes eating p###y. She has autism and a bit of a boundary issue and clearly did not think this was inappropriate. Knowing her I found it rather funny and went to text my nice Janet about it and how I should respond. Well…. I messaged amelias mum Janet and didn’t realise until a few hours later while in a meeting at work.

let’s just say it was a bit awkward for a while.

I still find it hilarious. And I have now made sure their names show Janet sister and Janet niece.

I love your line managers response 🤣🤣

My husband once sent a joke text to one of our close guy friends- where he sent like an ott sickly sweet love letter text to him (it was an ongoing inside joke). Only to discover days later he’d sent it to the guy fitting our new kitchen.

I was also once on the receiving end of a text about me. Where a guy I was seeing messaged his friend (or that’s what he thought) saying he was talking to his ex again and was pretending to be into me because he didn’t want to hurt me. And that he realised I’d bought a PS3 football game just to impress him. 😳

Back in the day of using my own laptop in the classroom (didn't have a work one then, few did, practices were different, wouldn't happen now).
I'd gone up to bed with glass and laptop, o/h 2 floors down watching TV, communication over (probably) msn.
The next day I'm setting up my afternoon lesson during the tail end of form time
Data projector, check
Power all in, check
Serial port connected, check....
Then a bored member of my form starts reading the board, projected from my frozen, lazy shut-down the night before and I hear.....
"More vino sausage??" across the class
Screen was frozen and unresponsive and I was yanking out serial leads in a panic, I couldn't remember where the rest of the conversation had gone.
In praise of slow readers!!

This thread is hilarious, I'm crying laughing. Just what I needed, thank you! 😊

You could've perhaps blamed it on autocorrect and say that you'd meant to type " Not long til the kids are all working" , like they grow up so fast 😂

Not quite the same but I once picked up a voicemail from a manager who was working from home.

He called me and I was on the other line so it went to voicemail, but he didn’t hang up properly and I then heard him talking to another man, they were talking about fisting and how hard he gets when his nipples were played with and is strangled!! He then realised the call wasn’t disconnected but he didn’t know if any of the conversation had been picked up.

He called me again and I could tell it was to check whether I’d heard. I never let on that I’d heard the whole conversation!

My db rang a friend from a land-line whilst my dsis was staying with him.
The friend didn't answer.
Db then told my dsis in detail the problems his friend and friends dp were having in their relationship and told dsis what issues he thought they should be addressing.
He used up the whole of their answering machine which he realised when it beeped and at that moment knew he hadn't put the receiver back properly.
The friendship never recovered.

Years ago when he was young and stupid, my best friend was in trouble at work.

A manager was treating him like shit (we suspected homophobia) one day friend had enough and told this manager what he thought of them and he wasn't shy about it.

Friend was pulled in and they started investigating for gross misconduct.

During the week they were deciding his fate, he accidentally text one of the managers saying "Just rolled another beautiful spliff and I'm stoned off my head, lovely times, fuck those bitches at work" 🤣🤣🤣
Oh course he got fired.

😂😂😂😂😂

God knows how but I once managed to send a GIF to my son's driving instructor from my back pocket.

Massively grateful to the OP for this - have laughed at all if these!!! After an awful week this has really cheered my up -thanks!!!!!!

I sent a message asking my new lover to get us some lubrication 'because you know I'm so sensitive!!!' Except I sent it to my (thankfully small) group of my political party...aaaargh!!

That's what they call 'stop digging'.
