Ever worry you'll sent a text to the wrong # accidentally

[goaskalice]

I just sent my mom a TMI medically based text. A couple weeks ago my wife's phone accidentally sent out a bunch of group texts randomly to her contacts. So the texts being sent weren't even ones she'd written, but received. 

I would be so embarrassed if the text I just sent got in the wrong hands. I guess next time I'll just call her, which she would prefer anyway! Oh technology.

I haven't sent anything embarrassing but I have accidentally sent my SIL (whose name starts w J) texts meant for Jake. Especially if the messages are right next to each other.

I worry about this all the time. I always double check the number.

I worry about it all the time. Luckily, anything that has been texted to the wrong number, hasn't been a big deal.

I have done it. I was talking about how I didn't want to go see a friend, but had to. And, you know, sent it to that friend instead of DH. I had been texting between the two and just opened my messages and started typing. I still die a little inside when I think about it.

Huge fear.

I'm a shit talker.

Yes. I also worry that I'll accidentally type the name of the person I'm Facebook-stalking into my status instead of the search field.

"05 is _name of ex-boyfriend's wife"

Scary, man.

[tdk2]

I fear it.

I often go back and check.

I also get paranoid when I forward an email via phone w/ a sarcastic comment to dh or my brother when it was an en masse text from my sister. I'm always worried I accidentally replied to her. I double check but sometimes i get a little panicky after I send it.

goaskalice, I'm sorry that I have to ask... are you male or female? I've always read your posts thinking you were a woman (married to a womnan), but then I realized that's probably pretty closed-minded of me. There have been a few men who've passed through here...

[BaliHai]

I did this once (texted someone saying "Ugh, M is such a bitch" and of course sent it to M - probably served me right ) and it made me forever paranoid, so now I triple check texts and emails before hitting send.

[snickers]

I sometimes have a panic moment afterwards and have to go back and check to make sure I didn't text to the wrong person. I have yet to do it, thank goodness.

[goaskalice]

05heel yes! I'm terrified of that one too. Lol

julez I'm a woman.

When I was in college (in the early days of texts) I sent my now DH a very explicit text and then sent my roommate a hey come pick me up now text. At least that is what I thought I did. Guess who fucked up the recipients.

Not really, but my SIL and I have names that begin with the same letter and we're both part of a very small group of FIL's contacts. He sends us texts and emails for meant for the other all.the.time. If it was ever about anything but real estate and vacation plans he'd probably have a problem.

I sent a text to my dad about Eric Northman's hot abs when he took his shirt off on True Blood that was supposed to go to my BFF. I was mortified, but my dad thought it was hilarious. Sometimes I just pick the last person I texted and fire whatever it is away thinking it's the right person, when its not. Luckily Eric's abs are my worst texting offense, even though I've done it a couple times.

I do stuff like this all the time. I send random grocery lists to my friends meant for my DH all the time. Thank god I haven't done anything worse yet.

[agnes]

Nothing embarrassing, but I have sent my mom, MIL, and BFF texts that were meant for H. I always just assume he's the last person I texted.

My favorite one was when I texted "Where are you love?" and BFF texted to H, "I think your wife is looking for you" lol

My mom hasn't been able to figure out the group text thing. She'll send a group text to my sisters and I, and my stepdad, and then he'll answer back, and then she'll respond with something romantic, and then he does too, and I have to put a stop to it by saying "WE CAN ALL SEE THIS" before they start sexting.

[messykitchen]

I once sent a FWB an adultish txt, but txted the wrong person. Who I then ended up dating for a while.

It can work out!

[sugarbear]

BFF sexted her dad.
Oops.

[Deleted]

I have done it with iMessage. If I am talking to different people at the same time, there will be messages sent to the wrong person. It happened not too long ago. One of my friends got a message and thought I was bad mouthing him to another person. We're still not talking. Oops.

[Stingyshark]

I have texted my boss when I meant to text DH or My sister.

I've also called him when I'm trying to call DH.. I call/text him more often than MH.

[mushmouse]

Definitely paranoid about it. If I'm talking about someone to my husband while we're driving together and my phone is close by I always make sure that it hasn't actually dialed someone!

[ginap]

I recently sent a text to my H about how annoyed I was that C's crib doesn't convert like I thought it did, when I got a response back from my mom I realized that I sent it as a group text to my parents, his parents and my brother (I had sent them all a photo the day before). Thank goodness we don't send racy texts as a rule or that could have been awkward.

I work for a hotel company and recently an employee at a property sent a photo of her vagina to her GM instead of her boyfriend. Whoops.

One time several months ago, I almost sent a text to ALL of the parents of David's soccer team that said "I think my vag fell asleep." OMG. I meant to send it to H then I realized who I was sending it to. I would have died. DIED. That was a close call.

My problem is that I always assume H is the last person who texted me since we text so much. I've sent a lot of people innocent texts, assuming it was my husband, because of this assumption.

[RoxMonster]

I am so paranoid about this and also about accidentally e-mailing the wrong person. once a co-worker of mine wrote an e-mail to me complaining and bitching about an annoying co-worker of ours. Except...you guessed it! She actually sent it to that co-worker on accident. So that was super awkward. Thankfully I haven't done that, but I always triple check the e-mail address before sending and do the same for texts.

I've done exactly this.  I felt horrible about it.  Luckily the friendship with this person was fizzling out, because this certainly ended it. 

ETA: I always used to send my friend, C, texts meant for my husband because they have the same name.  It was never anything embarrassing.  It happened so much that I finally changed my husband's name in my phone to "husband"

If the text is sensitive I triple check before sending.

I thought I was emailing my two grade level team members at work telling them that I thought something the vice principal wanted us to do was stupid. I accidentally replied all and sent it to those two teachers, as well as the principal and vice principal. :/
