Sent text message to wrong person

Yeah, it was enough to make me felt awkward as I apologized to my friend... I wouldn't know what to do if there was anything negative in the message I mistakenly sent to her.

@JudyEv Same here Judy.

It's better to keep your negative thoughts to yourself. That's what I was saying about Facebook and the things that persons broadcast on there for the whole world to see and read. It's crazy!

He he... you lucked out on that one... If you called the right home number, you would not find him and you'll probably have to call the other number anyway if you wanted to find the right person straight away then.

@sishy7 It was good that you did not speak ill of your friend on the SMS. Such mistakes can make irreparable damages. I have learned it is safer to call up rather than text. The past few months I have been using Whatsapp on my android, but as there are only 4-5 friends, it seems to be easier. But still, I prefer to speak rather than text.

You're right, my situation was nothing compared to that one... My boss name is so similar to one of my sons and sometimes when my son called me I thought it was my boss whose name showed up on my screen... I always double check when I send messages to my son also as I certainly don't want to have them sent to my boss inadvertently...

@thesids That is becoming a rather popular chatting app, isn't it?

Uh oh, they must have been confused why you gave them all the advice while your friend who requested it wondered why you haven't given it to her/him.

@sishy7 yes, I was embarassed because his description of life and my face lol. and imagine it was supposed to be given to priest for confession and advice. and some random person got it. so feeling embarssed.

Yes, the friend was the last person I text before I tried to reply to my sister. I guess I mis-touched my contact list and the last number used showed up or something. Sometimes there's a bit of 'delay' with my touch screen mobile - and when I thought I've touched an item, it actually was still loading and I ended up touching a different item.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oh yes, I gave up on that voice activation/recognition feature a long time ago...

@sishy7 My iphone 4s does that sometimes too, it is annoying. Of course Siri also doesn't understand me a lot of times, which is also annoying.

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, you should... I look forward to reading it!

Oh, exactly what I was afraid of...

@sishy7 I should write about it, in a way it was quite funny.

@sishy7 There certainly a great potential to cause havoc with a misdirected text message.

I really need to be extra careful next time...

@sishy7 Hubby is having that problem - but he actually presses the right contact and it ends up being someone else (I've witnessed this several times - the wrong contact name isn't anywhere near the right one). His phone is seriously messed up!

@much2say Oh no, that definitely would not be his doing if he mis-sent a message!

My touch screen mobile could be tricky sometimes... I meant to touch one thing and my finger ended up touching a different thing!

@sishy7 None that i can remember , except i giggled at the way he calls him - boboo . What an endearment is that .

@SIMPLYD I wonder what he calls her - momoo?

Oops, were there any lovey dovey messages for her boyfriend?

Yes, it's a horrible feeling to have the moment I realized the text was mis-sent.

Slip of a finger seems to happen easier with me using a touch screen smart phone...

Yeah, what if I was even a little bit ranting about her - maybe saying something like "sorry took me so long because 'y' kept yapping as usual". Agh, I would have been so mad at myself!

Ir sure is a good reminder to only say nice things about other people.

@sishy7 just a good reminder to watch our words! Glad this was nothing but a tad embarrassing!

Oh no, I can just imagine your shock when you realized it was sent to a wrong name/number on your mobile...

Yeah, I wouldn't be able to follow it up with just an "oops, ignore that!" to my friend if I had said anything bad...

@sishy7 I think it made both of them a bit angry with me but we got over it and even though they still don't have a great relationship they are on better terms now.

Uh oh, I hate to imagine that it made matters worse...

@sishy7 Does your sister know your friend? If so, it's not unusual that her name will appear in a message from you to your sister.

Exactly! I did mention my friend's name in the message intended for my sister, but luckily it wasn't anything bad of why I was talking about her...

@UmiNoor Yes, luckily the friend is more of a long time family friend so my sister and her know each other. In fact, my friend's parents have known our parents from way back when we were just kids.

Ha ha... yes, typo can also be as bad as misdirected text...

@Carmelanirel2 If I'm not mistaken, does your daughter have a dog grooming business? If so, yes, helping there would require one to be focused...

@sishy7 I know, I should ask my husband if he still has that text so I can take a picture of the exact words..It was pretty funny, because I was helping my daughter at her shop and was focused on that job when I received his text that made no sense...until I read what I sent him.

Good for you! I hope you had wonderful holidays with your loved ones...

@DaddyEvil Oh wow, that sounds like... fun? Was myLot quiet at the time? But seems like you still found some action to participate in and share with your daughter... We did good... My family and I enjoyed a nice, quiet and relaxing time together...

@sishy7 Yes, hon, I sure did! My daughter and I spent the day playing online. We purposely didn't invite anyone else over for dinner or anything else and so it was just the two of us. We both played online doing what we do online. I was here on myLot and she played several new kids games and wrote about them. The she and a friend tried out an Indian game (that isn't going to sell many copies, in my opinion) about making a baby and keeping it alive... unfortunately, she and her friend decided it was more fun to see how many ways they could contrive to kill the baby, instead. They took a plethora of gross screenshots of the various ways they found to kill the baby and the reactions of the authorities when they were discovered. Yes, I do know how this sounds, hon! But, while we were in our separate rooms playing our separate games we were also sending cascades of emails back and forth... She grossed me out several times with the ways they found to kill baby and I sent her screenshots of several of the discussions I was participating in ... I could here her screeching with laughter several times and twice, she came running in to check to see who wrote what I had just sent her. Yes, I had a great holiday with my child. How did you and your family do?

Oh, did you mean you unknowingly called a number and the other person answered while you were unaware they could listen to your offline conversation with someone else? Oops...

@sishy7 Yes, the phone was in my pocket and even though it is locked it phoned someone.

He he... it's just a harmless mistake, I'm sure...

@ridingbet So, it wasn't a scam, he really did have a new number, right? Did he really mean to send you money?

@sishy7 my kid brother also sends me some scam messages like "this is my new sim number. I will send you money.I miss you, and I love you". When I don't answer back, he texts me, "Big sis, this is your kid brother"!
