Anyone got some to share?
Please.. I cannot be the only one..
Following my 6 week coil check yesterday, I text my ds's friends mum to check she was still okay to have my ds after school.
I was also in the midst of texting a friend about the appointment saying 'I was a bit worried at one point when the nurse said "This is a good sign, I can see Fred" then I realised she had said thread'.
I quickly followed this up with another text asking 'who is this tiny man living in my vagina?'.
I sent it to my ds's friends mum didn't I.
The poor woman got 'Are you still okay to have ds after school today' 'Who is this tiny man living in my vagina'.
The absolute shame Blush

I've got to stop reading this thread, my 2 year old is now cuddling me saying "don't cry mummy" Grin

I am crying with laughing so much at these, my son came to find out what was so funny! Only last year I was texting a rep I'd known for a couple of years that I could just do with some hot chocolate as it was a cold day, only for the predictive text to change the word 'chocolate ' to 'sex', thankfully he saw the funny side and was amused by the whole thing Blush

my husband once sent a picture of his stomach to his best friend on whatsapp that was meant for me. His friend replied 'wtf lol?'.

Notmuchtosay1 · 14/01/2017 21:17

themummyreturns...at least it was only his stomach 😂

icelollycraving · 14/01/2017 21:29

These have made me laugh so much, the sexy count one & dead people Ines in particular had me doing a full on muttley. Ds & dh then wanted to know what was so funny. Grin

I was with an old boyfriend & we had stayed at his mum's for the first time. I had tried (v unsuccessfully) to appear cool & confident. I then sent a text to my friend telling her where I was & that I was pretty sure we'd be getting married now,so long as the waltzer would stop. We had a standing joke about people that do the funfairs. I had sent it to him.

icelollycraving · 14/01/2017 21:36

Sexy count hahaha it autocorrected cunt.
I'm now picturing count from Sesame Street giving me the glad eye.

My DS went on a week's camp with his cousin. When he got back, his rucksack of clothes and washbag were completely untouched. I texted to compare notes with my DS- all about how the filthy bugger hadn't changed his undercrackers for a week. I sent the text to my bank.

AtSea1979 · 14/01/2017 22:20

icelolly so you didn't marry him then? I wonder why!

icelollycraving · 14/01/2017 22:22

He apparently read it to his dad who was driving & he nearly crashed the car Blush
We were together another two years after that!

AtSea1979 · 14/01/2017 22:32

Haha that would have been a great story for the DGC!

I was running late to a meeting with a script writer my boss wanted to sign, I sent him a text saying I was going to be late because I was stuck in traffic, he replied it wasn't a problem. Got to the meeting & he was cute, funny, smart & really good looking (plus he writes the most delicious love stories). After the meeting I sent a text to a single friend saying he would be perfect for her & maybe added a few more descriptions besides.

Yup I had hit reply to the wrong text & he got the lot. He didn't sign to us but I did get a Christmas card from him & thank you for stroking his ego.

Shock oops

WinterRose92 · 14/01/2017 22:59

Ha ha, that is brilliant! At least the lady you sent it to saw the funny side!! I've sent texts to the wrong person a few times, and it was never anything too bad or weird, but I did send a text meant for my fiancee once starting with, 'Hey, fat shit . . .' to a friend! I call him that as a term of endearment (honest!) and when I explained my friend she thought it was funny and we had a laugh, but I felt awful when I realized I sent it to her at first! ConfusedGrin

I'm not surprised, it's hilarious!

My BiILmany years ago sent a rather raunchy text to my sister's phone. Very explicit. However he accidentally sent it to my sister's home landline which also happened to be the family landline. Oh the joy when my dad pressed play on the answerphone and a monotonous and stilted female voice announced exactly what he wanted to do to his daughter the next time he saw her BlushConfused

amammabear · 17/01/2017 23:24

A friend of mine sent a "wrong person" text a few weeks ago to a mutual friend, song if he sad home alone etc... I was with him at the time- he didn't flinch. Not for a second. He stared at his phone, paused what he was doing for a moment, them just carried on as if nothing had ever happened... Boring sod!

He never replied and although we don't know for certain if he had her number, he's never mentioned anything to her either.

AyUpMiDuck · 18/01/2017 16:34

I sent a wrong message to a business contact due to predictive/corrective text. I had typed "I'm in Antibes" and he got "I'm in panties".

I was staying at a friends and didn't have any credit on my phone so I used my friends phone to call my dad and ask him to pick me up, he didn't answer to I left loads of messages. Eventually I got a bus home. I then found out my friend had recieved a call back from the very handsome man who's number I'd been calling, they met up after spending months texting and became FWB!

I once managed to embarrass my DP on his phone. He had a blackberry and I didn't understand how it worked and once I visited him at work and he needed to use the bathroom so I came along too (I know, that is strange ha). Weirdly the loo was pretty much in the locker/staff room (it was at a train station if this explains anything). He was sitting on the loo and from here I was sitting opposite it looked like he had tiny legs and a normal sized body. I was laughing away cos he looked funny so he said to take a picture to show him. I somehow managed to take a photo of him taking a dump and send it to everyone in his bbm contacts list who all got a copy of this picture! He was mortified and obviously had a load of people going Hmm at why he'd seemingly sent them a picture of himself sitting on the toilet looking really happy. Sigh.
