Text Sent to Wrong Persom

On It · ‎03-15-2021

Have you ever sent a text meant for someone to the wrong person in your text group?

My son had been texting me because he was entertaining out of town guests whom I knew. He was catching me up on their latest news. About an hour later I got a text, meet us at the Grove for lunch. I knew that one wasn't for me so I contacted him to let him know he sent it to the wrong person.

I would think sending a text meant for someone else could get really interesting.

I have done it a few times, and luckily it has never been anything too embarrassing. A friend was complaining about something her daughter-in-law did and sent the text to.... her daughter-in-law.

No, but I once received a text from my husband meant for his girlfriend.

We are not together anymore.

Also I receive texts from strangers apparently for whoever had this # before me. Some relative saying hope surgery went well. Sad they don't call, just a text. I tried to tell them, but every couple of months...another text.

I've never sent a text to the wrong person but, holy cow, I received one in error.

About 15 years ago I was going into work about 6:45 am and I got a text w/a pic attached. I wasn't paying attention I thought it was my then DIL sending a pic of her daughter. She had told me the night before to watch for it.

Nope, it was some dumb guy sitting in a chair, naked, with his phone pointing down if you get my drift. Said Dan the man. ?????

I haven't a clue who it was assume some idiot was drunk texting.

Indeed it could be embarrassing, both texts and emails originated and forwarded, one should be very careful.

Nope, I do not text. Same applies to an email.

I used to receive group texts from someone that must have been a coach telling the team to get out on the field, meet up for practices etc. I don't know if it was legitimate or what. I never answered and they finally stopped.

I've done this before more than once but never anything bad or too much info. I am more careful now. I do not put things in writing that might come back to haunt me...say it to their face is the best way I say so you can make sure it comes across the way it was intended.

I've done it several times. I have many similar names in my contact list. When in a hurry,I have selected the wrong one. Nothing embarrassing involved in these cases.

Good that you are no longer together, he is too stupid to be married.
