Did you ever encounter receiving or sending message to a wrong person? I have this friend of mine who received a text message from unknown sender that almost ruined his relationship with current girlfriend. "Rick I missed you so much, wait you here!", that was it about, his name is Edison not Rick. The doubtful GF who happened to be sitting next to him read the message and her face turned red due to anger. My friend kept telling her that it wasn't even his name on the text and really don't know such number. She didn't buy it as according to her intentionally changed his name to have an alibi. He called up the number and talked to the culprit in loud speaker. They both discovered that the girl on the other line is a 60 years old plus. As for me, never been experienced the same but I have sent messages by mistake when chatting to friends online.

It happens but mostly to people who are also in my contacts. When I am in a hurry and the autofill fills out a different name. It also happens when you have two or more texts received simultaneously and you respond to one text but used the message of the other! Thats what happened to me. Sometimes though those texts that seem miss sent are actually baits for scams and other MOs. Try to stay away from numbers you don't have in your contacts. Thats one of the downsides of technology

I once sent a wrong email to somebody from different branch of my former company. And to make it worse, the guy is the boss for that branch and he is from other country than mine. And I use my local language which he didn't understand in my email. I also have sent message to wrong person but it was not personal. So it was not a big deal for me.

Now I can view your message. What he did was totally offensive and careless. It's no funny at all considering some conservative staff will also able to see it.

Yea, I've encountered this occasion a number of times already, but wasn't as funny as your friend's. For me, it was my friend who kept sending the wrong messages on MSN, as he always had a habit of talking to a few contacts and opened a lot of windows. That was why he always made the mistake of sending the wrong text to the wrong person.

Awww! That thing is really unavoidable sometimes when you are online some list on your contacts are there too. But we must be careful in sending messages.

OOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPS! I only made wrong sent just once. And I learned from it. It was a mistake that made a big gap between me and this person. It was December and there is one week holiday for some Summit I think. I went home in the province. At that time, group text is very common and people do group sending to update their lives while we are away from school. This girl is a classmate of mine and she had this attitude to be superior to other people. She wanted to be on the top always. Because of my irritation, I texted a very close friend of mine about how irritated I am with what she was saying. While I was sending it, I was thinking about this girl who irritated me. And then I sent it. I slept for awhile and when I woke up, I was very horrified to see that I have a text message from her and that all. After the incident, we never got that close. We were just civil with each other and all. And even if I want to regret what happened, it was all in the past and what happened.

So sad to know how you end up with your friend. It was a first time but hit you big time(?). However there's always a positive side of that incident for both of you. In one way or another she will realize(?) her attitude is somewhat irritating and hopefully change it in a way others will understand. As for you, seems that you already learned the lesson as it never happened again.

Yes, I've experienced receiving messages which were not really meant for me. For some reason, I think I share an almost similar cellular phone number with a person who's also named Nica. Wrong sent messages would usually start like this, "Nica, blah blah blah..". And I would think the message was really for me so I answer back. Then, the sender would then call me, really thinking that I was her friend. It's annoying to find out later that we don't even know each other. So, I just block those numbers. Fortunately, such wrong sent messages have never affected my relationships or my life at that in a major way. :)

Very funny isn't it? Sometimes we even wonder if it's just really coincidence or someone just wanna play around. But whatever it is I'm glad that wrong message never been an issue in your relationship. Thanks!

I've never sent to the wrong person a message which causes misunderstanding.But I've called the wrong number in the sense that of instead of calling one friend i have called the other and started speaking to him.Its done more absentmindedly than with a deliberate intention.I've heard through mutual acquaintance that a lady mistakenly dialed a number and the person at the receiving end would anonymously call her and trouble her.

I for one been to that situation but wasn't the one calling it's the way around. And it was from a stranger whom the only word I understood is 'HELLO' and the rest is totally annoying.

Yeah I have received a wrong message from a guy before and I was at the same time arguing with my fiance'. I called the number and the guy was denying that he have sent a message to my number, which was odd. I never sent a message to a wrong person before, but I always receive one that is not meant for me LOL. Have a nice day

It's possible that guy who sent you the message knew you or you have met him somewhere unless his cellphone has no Sent Items (which is very unlikely) where he can trace the previous messages sent. Thanks!
