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

I texted my MIL while she was in my house. I meant to text my mom, she brought a friend to my house to meet my new baby without letting me know and I was going to say to my mom “ugh MIL brought over a friend without saying anything 🙄”.

In around 2001, I was an 18 year old team leader in a sales-based workplace. Importantly, I was shagging a chick on my team and while I was sitting on the toilet and she was outside 'working', we were sending each other some fairly raunchy messages. One of my team sent me a message at the same time, and so I then accidentally messaged Justine, the 40 year old matronly woman in my team, about the many explicit things I wanted to do with her vagina.

I had a very red face and Justine laughed her a**e off.

Accidentally texted my boss instead of my coworker. About how big of a b***h our boss is. Lol.

Honestly it worked out bc we talked it out and resolved a lot of pent up tension but when I first realized I was like omfg.

I sent a text to my cousin in New Mexico instead of my FIL, letting him know my wife was in labor. He still made it to the hospital in time but barely.

He texted me a gym pic out of the blue, I texted him back a screenshot and the text
“Omg what should I say”.

I was sexting a girl, and had another start to text me asking for advice on her car. Accidentally got the two swapped. Girl I was originally sexting was confused… but girl asking about her car was receptive and went along with it until I realized what I did.

Working at a non profit. The receip ant was a hardcore Texan conservative white guy. I was running late and sent him a text through voice:

Me: “sorry about the wait, man”

My phone: “Sorry about the white man”.

Worked as an IT auditor, i supposed to write “ill return the hard disk tomorrow” but finger slipped “ill return the hard d**k tomorrow”. Sent to female colleague.

Not a wrong text.. but i knew a girl who became a celebrity. She is a big time actress now.

She had given me her number long back but I didn't call/text her. But a few years after she blew up, me and my friends had gone drinking. On a game of truth or dare, they dared to give me my phone and they would text a random person.

Guess who they chose... They sent a text saying " can we meet tonight".

I wanted to die.

My cousin had posted that she was going through a tough situation, so I ofc messaged to ask her what’s up. What I typed “Hey, I saw your post on FB, what’s going on?” What autocorrect did to me “Hey, I saw your pussy on FB, what’s going on?”

I tried to quickly send a message to let her know what I actually meant and for some reason it didn’t send any of my tries. She read it and started to freak out big time.

Not a text but an email:

I replied to an email during a brutal Child custody battle I was in.

I typed a long-winded, a bit nasty, “showing my cards” reply, solely meant for my lawyer's eyes….not realizing my reply “replied all” including the opposing lawyer.

I’m a realtor and I meant to text another agent trying to schedule a showing of their listing but I somehow accidentally sent a “sticker” of a sultry cartoon rabbit with pink cursive text that said “Netflix And Chill?”

Tough to recover from that. I don’t even know how to GET to “stickers”. It was wild.

Not me, but my mom.

When I was younger and much more mischievous, I particularly hated *being told* to wash the dishes. It wasn’t as if I didn’t ever do them, I was and still am a “is the sink full” kinda dishwasher, or if I needed a particular dish I would clean that and just not stop. But being told to wash the dishes?

In all of my infinite wisdom, 14 year old me made a shortcut on mom’s phone that changed the word “dishes”to the German Oath to Hitler. I was very excited about the day it finally worked and laughed maniacally when the text was eventually delivered, and my plan had worked. After that, we both kinda just… forgot about it for a few months.

Until my mom was in a bit of a rush at work, and tried to text me to wash the dishes before she got home so she could cook. She texted her boss.

My wife sent “My crazy client likes her hair” to the crazy client by mistake. The look on her face when she realized what she did was priceless. Needless to say she never did her hair again.

One of my best friends in high school was a girl named Nataly and we were suuuuper close. One night I’m texting Nataly and I fall asleep mid-conversation. I wake up at 3:00am to a text saying “Hey, sorry I fell asleep. I love you, goodnight”. Which wasn’t weird at all, because we said “I love you” all the time. Without thinking, I reply back “I love you too! Goodnight Nataly!” And I get an immediate text back from my girlfriend who hadn’t texted me in hours saying “Wow, this isn’t Nataly but if you love her so much why don’t you be with her then”. I couldn’t help but laugh all the while knowing I f****d up lmao.

Was exchanging pics with my current FWB of us having sex. Accidentally sent one of her pegging me to another female friend, she’s super religious and was horrified.

Worst one was to a guy I was nannying for occasionally who was in my phone as just a first name which was the same first name of a guy my ex and I were talking to when we were doing stuff with other people and I sent a short video clip of me in bed (nude) pulling back the covers 😬.

Texted my best friend bitching about my roommate who I shared a dorm with. Except, my roomie and BFF have the same name 🤦🏻‍♀️. She got it while we were sitting next to each other.

My friends and I used to take pictures of our s**t and send them to each other to be gross. Make sure you put your dad in as Dad not as his name….

I once sent a dikpic to my sister instead of this girl I was talking to. Same name different spelling.
