Have you ever sent a text/email to the wrong person?

I once sent a text complaing about my mom making me clean my room to a friend, and I accidentally sent it to… my mom! Luckily, she was not mad, and that is the only time I sent a wrong text.

Oh yeah. I accidentally sent naked pics to an ex lover who shared the name of a new lover. It could have been worse though, it was just a pic and no message with it so he acted like it was a random gift.

I’ve never done it but I’ve been on the receiving end of it happening.

A girl I once really liked sent me a message complimenting my new tattoo and asking when our next hook up would be….

I don’t have a tattoo. :-/

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Aww :/

@Mom2BDec2010, ‘tis alright. I moved on okay.

No, but I have had people send me entire conversations via Instant Messenger before realizing I was the wrong person before. It’s pretty funny.

I have but fortunately have yet to suffer any negative consequences.

Yes and after I sent a really embarassing one I always leave them addressed to myself until time to send and then I up the correct address in.
AND I never have two or more I am answering open at the same time.

Yes, I am always, for some reason, confusing people on fluther. I have sent at least two PMs to people here who have responded to me with a resounding “Huh?” because I have gotten them confused with someone else. It’s kind of embarrassing, to say the least.

I’ve done it.

When I texted the wrong person, she texted me back to let me know I sent it to the wrong person.

Twice I have sent an email to the wrong person because I replied to an email that had been attached, instead of it being within the body of the email sent by a friend of mine.

I’ve sent a wrong text that made no sense to the person I sent it to. She just responded with “what?” and then I said “wrong person” and that was the end of that.

The worst time was when my friend and I were talking about the test in psych class and she texted me something like “I just need to get a better grade than Eric” and I responded with “It should be pretty easy to get a better grade than Eric lol” and I sent the text to Eric. It was one of those “NOOOOOO!!!!” moments where I wanted nothing more than to turn back time and knew I couldn’t and I was dying. Luckily, Eric is not the type of person to care and he didn’t. But still. Very embarrassing and awful. Karma at its best; that’s what I get for talking shit about people behind their back.

Once I sent a text to my ex that was suppose to goto my boyfriend. (it wasnt dirty but he got pissed) I was pretty embarassed

This one time I sent a text that said “I love you” to my ex and it was suppose to go to my boyfriend. Omg, I felt like the dumbest person ever and he even replied and said “I love you too” I felt soooo bad. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I sent it to the wrong person. And even when me and my ex were dating we never said it not once. He doesn’t know this very day that it wasn’t meant for him. That made me feel crappy, because at the time I didn’t know who I wanted to be with.

This is the worst, and iphone’s new group messaging makes it terribly easy to do if you haven’t updated.

I’ve done this in every horrifying combo you can imagine. EEK.

Yes, it’s kinda embarrassing when you get the reply. But worse than that i was a little drunk after an afternoon in a bar, phoned my friend to see if she was going back out that evening only to have a conversation with a work colleague, who played along, answered my questions and who talked me into going to my bed. I had no idea i was talking to her until she asked me how i was on the Monday morning. Face to face my embarrassment could not be hidden behind a pc or mobile phone.

Song recommendation: Carrie Newcomer’s “Don’t Push Send.” It is all about email mix-ups to wrong recipients. I have two people with the same first name in my address book and I often send stuff to the wrong one of the two. Also, at my old job, I send an email complaining about a frustrating supervisee. By mistake, instead of sending it to my supervisor, I send it to the supervisee!

ps – here are the lyrics to Newcomer’s “Don’t Push Send”:

This is a story a very sad tale
Of intrigue and romance and electronic mail
A dangerous form of information, and the perils of instant gratification
How many times did I hit my Mac want to crawl inside and take the whole thing back
But its no use say it again and again
Don’t push send

Carol wrote about her job’s frustrations
What drove her crazy with aggravation
A list of every person’s faults,
Precise and pithy, wry insults
She sent it off to her best friend
But saw with horror as she pushed send
She hit the keys and began to roar
She’d she’d copied the entire office floor
Chorus: Don’t push send
Don’t push send
There are things that you just can amend
I tell myself again and again
Don’t push send

Katherine wrote a note to her husband Ben
Using their pet names and vowing devotion
She said meet me at home in a little while
I’ll be there waiting, wearing nothing but a smile
But then she goes her answer from his great granddad lee. Saying
” I don’t think that this was meant for me” It was nice, but I’ll forward it to my great grandson, it’s been
years since anybody called me sugar buns.”

Chorus

The day was tough the week had really been somethin’
Jane got a message that pushed her buttons
She shot back as if her words were guns
Capitalizing every single one
She should have waited she should know
E-mail doesn’t mix with merlot
She had to write back as you could guess
Plead e-mail recklessness and PMS

Bridge

Just stop and think when I’m on the brink
Walk away from your computer
Cause you can bet I’ will regret
And feel like such a loser

Chorus

After opposing counsel acted like jerks
Joe got a letter from his law partner at work
He meant to make a changes, cut and paste
But sent it off in his efficient haste
He tried to delete, he tried to stop the note
But the letter had flown and that was all she wrote
The message was polite with professional class
But the subject line still said “what a ass”

Chorus:

Yes One time I sent it to a different number because I was trying to figure out my friends number. The good thing is that the wrong number didn’t reply.

I do this all the time. I send IMs to the wrong person all the time, as well.

Yes! I did that one time in high school. I was fighting with one of my friends and I IMed another friend bashing out about the girl I was fighting with and I sent the whole thing to the girl I was fighting with! It was horrible! And she even thought that I did it on purpose.

My friend had a few people over a few years ago.
One of her friends sent her a text message
telling her he thought I was attractive, or something along those lines
They shared a silent chuckle.
He then said don’t tell her!
Regardless, my friend secretly sent me a text message
saying HEY!!! DAVE THINKS YOU HAVE A HOT BOD hahahahaha !!!
Except she did not send it to me…she sent it to him…..
the look on his face was priceless.
