Ever misstexted someone?

[rgramjet]

I noticed my propensity to misstext about two years ago.

I sent a client a text meant for my wife explaining how sexy I think she is when she is in a frantic state.  The wife yelled at me earlier that morning thinking I lost her car keys when they were in her purse the whole time.  She was late for an important appointment. 

I received a tearful call from the client about how she had me all wrong, she thought I was a "nice guy" and this was the height of inappropriateness and that we shouldn't work together any longer.........it took me about ten minutes of explaining to resolve what we consider now to be a humorous incident.

Evidently I didn't learn from my mistake.


About two months ago, while trying to set up a fellow DMF'r, who shall remain nameless, lightening struck again.  I was texting them both at the same time and at one point he asked, "Is she hot?".  My response was, "Yes, in a large breasted, keep you warm on a cold winter night sort of way.  Plus she is a wine distributor!"  You can guess who I sent it to.   

Last week I asked a new client, a large local builder if I should bring Chinese food home for dinner......

Yesterday I sent a new hire a text complaining about the new hire being 5 minutes late to his first day wondering if he is cut out for this job........text was supposed to go to my shop manager.

In a nutshell, I should be banned from ever texting again. 

Anyone else have similar occurrences?

That's why I don't mix business and texting. Only friends get text messages from me.

I think you might be on to something there......I can F up both.

I don't have the problem.

I'm usually pretty good about getting the right message to the right person.

My former roommate, however, was pretty bad about it. The "highlight" was when he fat-fingered his phone and sent a picture message of his junk to "Mom" rather than "Monica."

The clencher was when she responded "Meh. I've seen better."

I sent a kayaking buddy a flirty message meant for Ann-Marie. He's definitely not my type.

On the flip side, I got a text last week from a woman who serves with me on the board of the local Mountain bike club - she told me she had a couple of drinks in her and was waiting for me upstairs.  I replied that I was guessing that text wasn't meant for me.

Turns out it WAS aimed at me (and others) - I'd completely forgotten a committee meeting we'd scheduled for that night, and the downstairs at the bar we'd picked for the meeting was too crowded & noisy for us to get anything done!

I was feelin those manly urges and thought I'd have some fun and sext the girlfriend.
Yeah I sent it to the ex instead 
Who ignored it until we were in person and I was picking up the kids.

Ha ha that was a fun read. 

Auto-spell correction makes me look like I have no concept of English.

I almost got in trouble during a phone bridge call at work.  While the lady is
Making her presentation, I sent instant message to a co-worker who is also on the bridge saying something to the effect "why is she mentioning that?".  Ofcourse I accidentally sent the msg to her.  Glad I didn't say something horrible.

Ex's nickname was Moe, which falls alphabetically right next to Mom

this incident is no longer mentioned in my family...
