Sent a text about a person (accidentally) to that person. Yeah, a bad and silly mistake. It wasn't a horrible text but it did read blunt. I sent another text afterwards and apologized. We were coworkers but no longer work in the same area, and whilst friendly, are not friends. Distracted today and that's the unfortunate result. Now I've got to let it go. Anyone ever done this? Bloody hell.
 
I have definitely received texts that clearly were not meant for me. I think most people would just laugh it off and forget all about it. I got a text at 2am once from a client that said something like “hey let’s go get drinks and gamble.” He was a guy in his twenties, I was 40, and we lived in totally different parts of the country/had never met. He was embarrassed, I thought it was funny. And then I never thought about it again until just now. lol
 
Sadly, this text to that person was about that person. Nothing inappropriate, just a blunt assessment of us being coworkers and not friends.
You only make this mistake once.
 
My SIL once sent a whinging text about me accidentally to me - instead of my MIL who she had intended it to. I sent it back to her with a “was this meant for me?” attached underneath.

I did once send a FB message about one of my besties to I thought just our other bestie - not realizing that both women were included. I explained face to face my reasons for the message within 2hrs and we got on with our day.
 
I am part of several WhatsApp group chats. One of them is the mothers from my kids school and another is just a group of my mom friends. None of the people are the same lol and the moms at my school are a little aloof. Anyway, we got this stupid song that the kids were supposed to memorize and I sent this message about how dumb it is and I’m throwing it right in the trash. Well, guess which group I accidentally sent it to? o_O
 
I've never done that but I have sent emails/texts and then had a horrid thought that I DID send it to the wrong person then wildly double checked. It is the stuff of nightmares!

time will work wonders
 
If you are an American, I guarantee you the recipient of this text will not remember it or consider it important after tonight’s election results come in, lol. Don’t beat yourself up over something so trivial :)

Not American, but highly invested.
I'm better after a sleep or two. Perspective kicks in.
 
My MIL sent the wrong text once. She was inviting people to my son's birthday party. Her brother's wife had the same name as his ex wife and she didn't know which was which on her phone lol. She invited the wrong one who texted back and politely declined. Thank goodness lol.
 
I have done this but nothing bad was in the text. But it was embarrassing and as soon as I realized I texted my friend apologizing saying it was not meant for her. She was like yeah I didn't think so. And we had a laugh.

I'm sorry @Begonia I get how you feel and this too shall pass. No one was hurt. No one died. And it's OK. Not to trivialize it but I agree about perspective. Sending you gentle hugs. Be kind to yourself. Life is challenging and in then grand scheme of things it's OK

That helps. A lot.
 
I once accidentally sent an "intimate" photo to a friend that was meant for my husband. Soooo embarrassing, but honestly couldn't have picked a better friend to send it to. I can't even imagine if it had been anyone else...
 
Eek. Awkward!

Next time you see her, I recommend sticking your tongue out at her so she won't think she now has the upper hand. Hope this helps. :lol-2:
 
In real time, my sister was on a phone call for a lo-o-o-ong time with our other sister. When they hung up, the phone rang again, and the first sis said to what she thought was me, "Wow. I was just on the phone with [younger sister] for a-a-a-a-ages! Good lord!" To which the person on the phone said, "This. is. [younger sister]..."

It was totally mortifying for the both of them, for completely different reasons. My younger sis and my voices can be really hard to tell apart...When the story was shared with me, I couldn't stop laughing. :lol: Humour helps to ease some situations.

The good fallout was that for months and months, the younger sister made all her phone calls very short n' snappy. And to this day, the first sister and I chortle about it. My DH had/still has the complete heebie-jeebies when he heard the story. Laughed, and was horrified at the same time. :lol:
 
My mom once called my aunt who had her blue tooth buds in. My aunt meant to send my mom's call to voice mail but she
answered accidentally. My mom heard her say to someone, "That's my Sister-In-Law and I'll never get her off the phone."
My mom was a little hurt. I said, "You know it's true, Mom." (just keeping it real) Not sure if she appreciated that!:mrgreen2:
