Did I Do That?

Send a message to the wrong person by email or other? yes l did. Thankfully the message l sent was quite harmless , meant for my brother but l mistakenly sent to my sister - no harm done. However l am annoyed with myself for making that kind of mistake - the results could have been worse-- depending. Has this ever happened to you and is there a way to recall or delete a sent message?

If you did at least it didn't cause any trouble, or you would have remembered.

@Kandae11 true. Specially if the message is confidential

Not a nice feeling when that message goes off and you can't get it back.

I have done that, with a text and an email. The text was no big deal because it was innocuous. The email was very unfortunate, involving a guy, and I had to do a lot of talking to get myself out of trouble.

I believe there is no way to delete once the message has been sent, I have not had such a problem but I have posted something with mistakes and I am always glad to see the edit so I can correct it before others see it,

Thank goodness it was a harmless message! I was responding to my son - and somehow the word got spellchecked to "poop" . . . only it didn't get to my son - it made it to my one of my friends

Luckily she is a good friend. I texted her right after and explained - she laughed

In a group text last week someone said something to me but they thought they were saying it to my son. Both of our names begin with the same initial, and the sender felt awful, they told me that yesterday. The worst that I have done was to send a text (to our son) without my glasses on and auto correct changed it and it was talking about someone getting engaged and it changed the name-my son couldn't believe it and questioned me before contacting the wrong person.

Good that your son thought of contacting you before going ahead and contacting the wrong person. I do understand how the sender in that group text felt.

@grenery8 Myself and others should be extra careful when sending emails -- save ourselves a whole lot of problems. However in your case it was easy to make that mistake.

@Kandae11 i sent another email and apologized but i felt strange my old doctor has an email cause,i know he didn't have it before (he's a male but the name of the clinic is under a female,so confusing).3-4 doctors in my old health center have the same female name and i didn't go often there,thankfully,to remember their surname. We call doctors here just doctor or doc. I am still half angry cause my chart is still with them while i remember the male doctor,when i picked his clinic, was practically bullying me to hurry up with bringing my old chart and now,he's not transferring it. Also,i complained about his behaviour and requested for a new doctor in my home town but they didn't approve it cause it was under 1year long,too far away from my 1st residence and they didn't find my claims worthy so, they just dismissed it. I had to apply for second residence and then i got my current doctor,which was my doctor since when i was in high school but only for a year,i think. Very sad about healthcare system here but,yes,that's how my issue was sorted out.

I think if we are in a hurry anything is possible as far as mis sending messages. I do not recall having done so, though. I am not aware of any way to unsend a message.

Yes, fortunately I was able to recall, that is the first and last. But I sometimes sent messages to different people, but gladly they are my closest friends so no harm done also.
