40 "Wrong Person" Texts That Might Make You Laugh Or Cringe

Was stoned at home watching tv texting a girl I was dating and my best friend from high school simultaneously (separate chats). My friend at the time was struggling with addiction problems and at the time I felt like I was being used and taken for granted and said something along the lines of “he’s probably getting coked out again” to the girl but I actually sent it to my friend. I felt a dread I’ve never felt before. Because I love my friends and I felt like I betrayed him by talking s**t. I immediately apologized and explained the mix up. Took ownership. But felt so bad for so long.

BUT! That girl is now my wife and that friend was one of my groomsmen and gave the speech at our wedding and I was his best man and also gave a speech at his wedding. Turned out my text helped him realize he had hit bottom and he made some really positive changes and I couldn’t be more happy for him.

Edited for typos.

Texted my boss “I love you my cute pretty little princess”. This was for my girlfriend, my current wife. Anyway he responded with “I love you too sweetheart”.

Finished an overtime shift and instead of texting my wife I ended up texting my boss “Leaving work now. I love you so much baber. See you soon.”

It’s like 2 years later and this man still calls me baber. 😂.

Sent a naughty text meant for my fiancée to my aunt once. One day at work, I texted my girl everything I was gonna do to her later after I got home. I went all out. Didn't hold back.

I sent the text, and ten minutes later, my aunt texted: "Oh, dear. You sent this to the wrong person. Try again."

*S**t.*.

Dont have a bad text but I did once get drunk and called my dad while at a family reunion (i couldnt make it) and left him a 2.5 hour ramble of how great a father he was.

He played it at the dinner.

No hard feelings I thought it was funny as hell.

Not me. I had made out with a girl for the first time in high school and she asked for my number. In my adrenaline fueled daze I gave her my mom’s.

I get out of play practice and as I sit down in the car she goes “So my son is a good kisser huh?” I wish god would have taken me right then.

Called my wifes dad sugar tits. "Hows it going sugar tits?"

He laughed and brings it up once in awhile.

Autocorrect got me, I used to travel to regional towns as part of my sales job.

I was on my way to a place called Lancelin and planning to catch up with friends that night.

We were trying to work out a time to meet so I was quickly replying to messages between customer visits. Of course I didn't see that my phone autocorrected Lancelin to lingerie!

I sent a message saying "I'll be in lingerie all day and should be home around 6"

It took a while to live that one down.

I was sending an email from my phone about sodium iodide (NaI) detectors and it corrected it to Nazi detectors. I nearly sent an email about buying uranium for Nazi detectors.

I accidentally sent a picture of a man f*****g a watermelon to my nana. That was 20 years ago. She still has the picture and regularly reminds me of it.

I was trying to shave my penis with a electric razor and nabbed myself a little. So i thought it would be funny to send a picture to my friend with the caption “when i ask the barber to take a little off the top” but accidentally posted a picture of my bloody, flaccid, and bald penis to my public story on snapchat. Also, it took like 30 minutes before someone thought to say, “did you mean to post this?”.

I was in the backseat of a car with someone I didn’t like. I texted my mom how bad it was going and I accidentally send it to the person who happened to be driving. SIRI READ IT OUT-LOUD OVER THE APPLE CAR PLAY TO EVERYONE.

This guy I was friends with in a dark time in my life took another friend’s phone and changed the autocorrect. He made maybe the worst change ever. He changed the word people to the N-word’s.

The other friend didn’t catch it until he group messaged people from his company during a business trip. He meant to send “when do we have to pick up these Pfizer PEOPLE from the airport?” Needless to say the autocorrect changed that.

He was fired.

It was shortly after that we realized that the first guy wasn’t quirky and funny but that he was toxic.

Back when my brother and I were in high school. my dad would get drunk, and be a jerk. Well my brother and I were each others support person. One day the whole family was in the living room together watching a movie. My dad had recently walked in, while my mom, brother, and I had been there for a while. Dad said some s**t that bothered me. So I went to text my brother about how much of an a*****e dad is. Well I accidentally sent it to dad. My body went into shock. But my mind went into survival mode or something. Because I felt myself just push my phone into the crack of the couch.
Then I walked straight to dad and said “hey I lost my phone, can I use find my iPhone on yours to find it?” He grabbed his, and said “oh a text from my son” I laughed and grabbed it before he read it, deleted the text, rung my phone, and was luckily in the clear. Ever since that day, I always clear my messages with him.

Oh man..

My 21 yr old son (at the time) was living with me as he was between places and trying to sort some things out.

At the time I had the Motorola Droid with the hardware keyboard so I tended to typey type and send without double checking my work.

One day I meant to send him, "Can you join us for a sec?" as my gal and I needed help with something and really needed another pair of hands.

Somehow not only did I typo that one word that you all see coming, but I double typoed it to send, "can you join us for sex?"

When he sent back, thankfully, "uhh, I don't think so" and I looked, confusedly, as to why the f**k he wouldn't help us with something we needed him for.... I realized how I had f****d up.

After my profuse apology and correction for what I meant to say, we never spoke of it again.

When I texted this girl I was going on a date with “Hey Olivia, I’m out front”

….her name was Natalie. She never came out.

I complained rather bluntly, and using colorful language, about my M&A attorney to one of my business partners... It was a group text.

Oof.

Fortunately, he was a professional. I called him to apologize, and explained that deal frustrations were getting the better of me. He allowed me to save face, and even put me at ease by saying that people have said far worse to him to his face.

I accidentally sent my boss a message that meant to read "I have a bigger problem". I missed the B and hit the N. Yes, he's black 😭.

I was at work and tried to text my girlfriend, "I can't wait to get home to f**k you in the a*s."

After it was sent I realized I had texted my mom. I quickly added that the text was not intended for her. She replied, "OKAY."

We never spoke about it.

Let me preface this by stating I use to be a real big piece of s**t: 


When my wife and I were dating we went out to eat at Applebee's in our relatively small town.  Looking around the restaurant I noticed there were several females there that I had previously had 'relationships' with. 


I thought I was texting my then room mate when I said:


"Including *future wife* there are 5 girls at this Applebee's that I've boned"


Instead I sent it to my now wife who was sitting across the table from me.


Had to do a lot of damage control after that.  Been married 15 years this summer!
