This happened to me three times. I would send a text message to someone, let's say A, to complain about person B. It is usually a long text message because it's a sort of a rant, telling A about the unprofessionalism of B or the inefficiency of B for being this and that and I accidentally sent the message to B. (Oh no!) Yes, this happened to me thrice. I was saying negative things about this person and I accidentally sent the message to her. Did this also happen to you?

hi Cutie18f, yeah, this happened to me long time ago. but good thing i checked again the recipient name before i press the send button. so i noticed that i actually put the person whom i complained about inside the list instead of the other friend. so i managed to change it before sending.
i think this is very common because when you are typing a complaint about someone, we tend to keep thinking about this person and so we will have this person in your mind, and eventually when we are sending the message over, we will end up keying in this person too.

What did she said after reading your text message? It is like you confessed to her how you feel. I find it so embarrasing if that happens to me.
I did wrongly sent some text messages but nothing much important so I don't worry that much. I just say sorry if they happen to reply or send back my original message. But I remember that during my college days, I accidentally sent to my boyfriend's number this message that was supposed to be for my ex boyfriend. The problem when you're already used to sending text message to a certain people, your fingers are like having their own minds and automatically choose his number. The content of the message is something that could make my bf angry so I asked my brother to pretend that he was the one who sent the message and intentionally done it to tease my bf.

That would be really awkward. But I wonder why she didn't say a thing.

Never happened to me since then. I make mistakes about messaging when I was courting somebody and I sent it to one of my ladies friend. Now, I am very careful maybe I will sent the message to my wife. A big war will be happen if I will make again that mistakes.

Yup, sending wrong messages happens to everyone. It's a common mistake. Usually it occurs when somebody is in a hurry or not focus on sending the message, or accidentally select the wrong contact person in his/her phonebook. Sometimes it causes conflicts if the sender doesn't explain it correctly to the person receiving the wrong text. We just need to be aware, alert and focus when sending messages especially if it is important.

It happens with me many times but I am not guilty since I am not sending any negative message regarding the others.
Most of my wrong send messages are all about meetings and information regarding reports/program about my work.
Instead of sending it to my boss, I accidentally send it to a friend -lols

I have never actually sent a text message to ONLY the wrong person, but I did once do something very similar. I was sending a joke that I had received from another person to several friends of mine and while scrolling through the list of contacts I must have inadvertently touched the number of another person. I did not realise this until the message had been sent, at which time it was too late to change. The joke was inadvertently sent to a business contact, although fortunately nothing seems to have happened as a result.
I now take far greater care and always check the names selected before presseing the Send button.

That happened to me a couple of times. I inadvertently sent a message to a female officemate, supposedly that text message was intended for my wife. Good thing, I double check it, messages like this can't be recall and it is a bad thing there. I immedicately sent a message to make a clarification there and sent it that messages to my wife. Theres nothing to worry there, as long as we not doing or hiding anything that could destroy our relationships.
Well, as to wrongly sending of harsh messages to the wrong person, my friend experience that, she immediately ask for forgiveness for saying that, that led them to communicate and they eventually sorted things out. That's a blessing in disguise, I guess. Thanks

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, some times we send this kind of wrong messages. I too encounter this kind of problems in a different way, i.e if i composed a message for a person, i will send it wrongly to another one mistakenly and the receiver will send a message about the wrong message, i will ask sorry for the mistake

Wow, that is an awkward text message. It did happen to me a couple of years back and from then on I make sure I don't repeat the same mistake because it is very embarrassing for me. One time I was dating this guy who's got the same name as my boss and when I texted him something sweet I accidentally sent it to my boss. Good thing my boss knew that I'm dating this guy and he's cool with it. But because of this incident, I changed my boss' name in my phone. And the latest one was when hubby and I were still dating. And I was telling everything about him to my mom and the message was sent to him. Suffice to say I was caught and he said he teased me about not working too much to gain my "yes" because it seems I am already into him. It ruined everything for me, lol!

Yes it happens to me all the time when I complain about B to A... Everytime I ended with a big fight with B... This happens because I'm thinking about B and B is in my mind and by mistake I sent message to B...
So, I stop this message thing... I call on phone to A or meet A personally and complain about B...

Ha ha ha. This is the happy situation:)). You can tell that you confused his number, you was drunk or something like that. I happened the ugly part of this story. It's about 2 girls, my girlfriends. I texted same message to them and told her that we must meet. I wwas drunk and I think that I spoked only with one. At the meeting I saw them and it weren't a very happy situation.
