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 was showing my then BF now DH, how if you say to Siri ‘text **’ it sends a text to them. So I said ‘text George’ (husbands name) then Siri says ‘shall I text uncle George’ before I had a chance to say NO! My DH shouts ‘fuck the pussy!’ And it sends a text to my UNCLE saying just that.

worst part is the day before I had actually text my dad asking for my uncles number so I could message him about something else and before I could .. this happened.

So my uncle then rang my DAD and asked if I was OK. Haha my god I could die thinking about this again.

This one made me cry with laughter!

Sent a message to a lady who wants to play at my bar, thinking I was texting my DD.
"Your dad is an utter bellend and I'm knackered, hungry and dying for a pee. There's a group in who are a pain in the arse as well. Pray for me because Im proper fucked off."

She was very sweet about it and still wants to play here

Mortified

I accidentally included my boss in a text to a colleague.
she constantly left work early and used the company car for personal use, never putting fuel in it. We were bitching about it
I felt sick as soon as I realised.
she messaged back saying great to know what everyone thinks of me 😳

I received a text from a stranger asking me to meet her at the family planning clinic - meant for her boyfriend

Friend text asking what I was up to, I replied “I’m sat in a carcass”

Couldn’t understand her disgust until i realised it should’ve been CARWASH!! Bloody predictive text!

There's an app called Chomp that does that

OMG @girlmeetsboy 😂😂😂

My DP received a funny one…he had accidentally bumped someone’s car when driving on ice one morning, left his number and the guy got in touch to swap insurance details etc.

A few days later he received a dramatic text from the guy that said “What do you want me to do? I FUCKING LOVE YOU, ok?” Immediately followed by “Wrong number”

We had a good laugh at that one, I’ve always wondered about what the context could’ve been 😂

Dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I sent a lovey dovey text meant for husband with a photo to my carpet fitter, cringe.

Luckily he said he had a good chuckle about it!

This is brilliant 🤣

😂😂😂😂😂

If I had got that message, I would DEFINITELY want to play at your bar 😂

I once read out a text sent to me by my boss to a colleague that I had assumed was an instruction to pass on to her when in fact they were slagging her off! In my defence, it was badly written, littered with typos and I read it quickly while standing in front of said colleagues desk. We simultaneously realised what it actually meant as the words tumbled out of my mouth. Mortifying for all concerned!

Texted Dad’s neighbour yesterday to ask her politely to back off getting involved in his business which is confusing him (has dementia) and making it very difficult to sort his care. Asked AI/ChatGTP to help with the wording as I didn’t want to be too heavy handed or rude. Managed to text the neighbour the entire AI conversation instead of my carefully worded text 😱 Then to make matters worse, when trying to delete the message, I deleted the message thread! DH reminded me it still might show on my iPad so I managed to edit the message there (couldn’t delete it) - I’m sure she saw it. My only excuse is that I have a heavy cold, feeling rubbish and should be nowhere near anything that requires a functioning brain. Plus my polite edited message hasn’t landed the way I’d hoped because from her reply she still doesn’t seem to understand what I’m getting at 😬

I haven't read all these yet but I HAVE to post. A colleague in my former company was having an affair with a very attractive married older woman. We had a company email that started with 'All <company name>', and her name was Alison. He emailed her to ask her if she was wearing her lacy knickers..... It went to the entire company. It became a legendary story there.

Me too. Not surprising to feel a bit wobbly after a 24 hour fart.

Standing the very long queue at the Co-op just now waiting to pay for my four pints of semi-skimmed and remembered this post. Started really laughing out loud. Tears running down my face, the lot. Just couldn't stop. Several people asking me if I'm ok which kept starting me off again. Luckily I got served before the men in white coats arrived. Had to walk back to the car still in fits of giggles getting some very strange looks.

Funny how some simple things can really set you off. Think I will have to avoid the Co-op for a while.

Thanks @butterflyflutterby123 can't remember the last time I have laughed so much.

Still together!

Once as a teenager I got an explicit text from my dad that was meant for my mum, saying what he was going to do to her. Mortifying 😭😭😂

A friend once text his partner telling her he was on top of Laura Bridge. Auto correct had changed Laira Bridge (an area in Plymouth) to Laura

A friend recently texted me my own news

I ignored it

It wasnt nasty but made me wonder who it was meant for snd why are they sharing my news in that way?

Just to say wow, at what age you all had children in your family, so there is still a great great grandad around? He must be very very elderly now!

Based on the post, he's in his seventies.
