Sending Text Message to Wrong Person

[muchlovex]

I mistakenly sent someone a txt message and I said something not so nice about her. Thankfully the person who got the incorrect message was so nice about it and accepted my apology quite admirably.

Has anyone done this? If so, what was said and to whom?

Did it end up amicably or did it end in arguments?

[ummmm]

Loads of times...I had a habit of sending the message to the person I was talking about. Luckily nothing bad...except one.

When I was about 17 I was on the train to meet my ex-boyfriend in Oxford. I sent a text to my friend telling her I didn't know why I was going because I thought he was a ........

I got a text message from him a couple of minutes later saying, "I don't think that was meant for me was it". I actually shrieked out loud on the train. We met up and had a drink together where I apologised and then left. I'm still so embarrassed that I always double check who I am texting now.

i had a subconsultant send an email to his colleague and accidentally cc'd me in. in the message he called me a 'see you en tea'.

lots of high level apologies and simpering, coffee meetings etc etc, even offered to dismiss the individual (like they needed me to insist it??). it may have been an accurate description of me at the time, but they never worked for me again.

never done it pesonally

Not me but this happened to Mr Tiggs last week. It was the other way round though when one of the women who works for him sent him a text by accident saying to someone that Mr Tiggs was an "@rsehole".

The man hostage has been on the receving end of a few texts meant for friends and work etc.. He's the only person on my automatic/favourite list and it's just kind of habit for me to do it.

[ummmm]

My friend texted me asking if I fancied coming out. I texted back 'I can't, crap shag is coming round'...and I sent it to him...whoops.

I once worked in a small office, about 5 of us in an open plan area. One of our colleagues was one of those types that has to get involved in everything and make herself heard.

I sent a mail to another colleague along the lines of 'If she says that one more time I'm going to scream' - of course I sent it to the lady in question.

Realising what I done I observed her facial expression change as she read it. Thank god for the old days of big CRT monitors - think I spent the rest of afternoon hid behind mine!

wow! Some of these are worse than what i did.

[merciasounds]

I was catering for this woman's daughter's engagement party. I'd given this woman a nick-name, 'Harpy' as she tended to shriek and flap and get into a state about nothing, phoning me umpteen times a day to change something, or to 'remind' me of something, to check I'd let them know if i was using butter or margarine, if the colours on the icing roses on the cake were natural or artificial, the ribbons had to be an exact match in colour....etc anyway my hubby phoned and asked me if I was working late, and I'd missed the message coz I'd turned off my phone, I sent him a message saying,
'no, finishing early bl00dy woman and her daughter's engagement party -they should forget the party and elope just to get away from the moaning old cow of a mother' and I sent to 'Harpy' instead of 'hubby'.....

[muchlovex]

oo, mercia..did she ring u back and cancel order?

Occassionally a text goes to the wrong person, but since I only say nice things about others on the rare occasions I mention them, it's annoying, but never a lasting problem.

[merciasounds]

Funnily enough, I dealt with the daughter after that, she was delightful! And the party went ahead - and the girls fiancé paid in cash, he was all smiley and extra nice, said the spread was beautiful and delicious, and bought me a drink. My parting shot to him was a quiet aside about not to let the MIL bully him - he grinned and said he wouldn't, then added, well, not now I won't!

[muchlovex]

brilliant ending Mercia.

i recently sent some very rude texts to a firend but got the wrong mobile and sent it to the work landline instead and her staff kept picking up the phone and got these mesaage recitied to them. that was very embarrasing

[bednobs]

twice
My husbands brother's name is next to his in my phone book. I sent a saucy text to the 17 year old brother ...
Second was yesterday, when i sent a text sayign "baby growing well so we are all relieved" which i should have sent to my mum, but instread sent accidentally to a friend of ours who is a big gossip (haven't told anyone in real life about beong pg except parents/sister)

[China Doll]

Eeek bednobs... Do you think she will have the sense to know that this is not a subject for gossip and it's up to you who you tell?

[bednobs]

i rang her right away. She said "i didn't know you were pregnant" and i said "that's because no-one is supposed to!

[joko]

they may accept it but i dont think they will forget or ever see you in the same light again...

ive never had anything bad accidentally said to me, or sent one that was bad...but if is got one i think it would destroy the friendship..even in a kind of drift apart way

[China Doll]

Hope she gets the message bednobs.
