I was having lunch with a friend earlier and she told me she found some texts on her partners phone that he assured her were accidental. I didnt really say anything at the time, but Im sure she could tell from my face that I wasnt 100% sold.
Basically she was looking at his phone at pictures of their child when a text flashed up and took her to the messaging page. She then noticed some texts to a woman he used to work with (still works for same company). There was 3 texts all in one go, he addressed the first one Hi Namethatsnothers which wasnt her name but was the name of a client and said something about arrangements for work. This woman then replied with an innocuous response, he replied, she replied again, he replied then she replied ..youve still not noticed youve sent this to the wrong person? Haha and he replied No. She asked him about it and it he said it was a genuine mistake.
Maybe it was or maybe Im just of a suspicious nature but it just seems odd. I dont think Ive sent an accidental text message since I was a teenager when it wasnt reeeeally accidental. The name of the woman and the client couldnt be more different (English name Vs Indian name, not even the same starting letter) and on smart phones these days, it would surely be impossible not to noticeespecially after 3 messages? It would open in the same conversation as all previous conversations with that person?
Now Im not going to say anymore to her about it, its her choice if she wants to believe it and maybe it is true. But its made me thinkdo people really accidently text people like that?
