O/T ive just done something really really stupid..make me feel better!

I did this with an ex flatmate, saying how we had to invite her out although she was really dull, i felt sorry for her and sent it to her instead of my friend!

Oh no, how awful. Did she reply?

Haha oh yes she replied....cant repeat most of it and think i am off her xmas card list lol.

littlemissscatterbrain...im slightly relieved to hear im not the only one who has done it! your heart just drops doesnt it!

Oh no how gutted you must feel. I'm afraid I have never done anything like that, but can see how easy it must be,

How awful!!

I feel your pain though! Not quite the same, but over the weekend I got a text from a (male) work friend saying to 'come over whenever i'm ready'. No idea what that was about, so I replied asking if i'd been sending late night drunken random messages again, as this has been known to happen before! I was only kidding, but as it turns out, I HAD been sending messages. I honestly had no idea I'd done that though. To make it worse, everyone at work seems to think this guy has a bit of a 'thing' for me (which he hasn't!), and they all seemed to know about it before I did! I'm now totally paranoid that I've been sending silly messages and giving people the wrong impression!! You can just imagine what I was thinking when i got that text saying to 'pop round whenever'!!! Lord only knows what else I'd sent to him!?

Hope things don't turn out too awkward for you.

totallly! i remember i was in my bed when i sent it, i hid under my covers for about 10 mins, dont know what diference that was going to make! the thing was the friend i was suppose to be texting was only in the room next door and i was just being lazy in texting her, learnt my lesson on that one!!

Oooooh, me!! Years ago I sent a text to my best friend saying I was gonna dump my then BF, apart from I sent it to him!

Was awful!

Haha i think the morale of this story girls is delete all your numbers and store only o/h and 999 on your phone! (and for you zippy dont watch wedding tv)

thanks for making me smile anyway! actually rather glad i did it now so i dont have to pretend i like her anymore (it probably sounds like rotten eggs but there is so much behind the story and is turmoil for me seeing o/h being upset)

Oooh, feel your pain, I've done this before! Mine was unbelievably cringeworthy. I was in my late teens and had recently got back with an ex after dumping him a few months before because I found him too clingy! We had agreed to patch things up and I had just been on a date with him. It went well so I decided to text my friend saying how things went really well and I wanted to really give things a go this time, show him that I care about him and even though the other guy was much better looking, better in bed, etc, ? I wanted to try things with him instead!!! (Noooo!)

When I realised I had actually sent it to the guy in question, I wanted to shrivel up and die!! We didn't actually see much more of each other after that, come to think of it! ?

If that makes me sound like a horrid person, I promise I have grown up since then!!

I've done this before but mine was just laughable and when I realised I was howling with laughter in the office:

My bolier had broken down, my flatmate and I were at war with the landlady and I refused to speak to her. We'd been down the boozer and come back to a still not fixed boiler so decided to take matters into our own hands and call the plumber... my flatmate used my mobile as I'd always been the one to deal with "house" things....drunken flatmate leaves a message and as it was Sunday evening didn't expect a response... got in on the Monday after work and she called him again and spoke to him, he said he'd have a look at what he could do and ring us back in 20 mins... didn't hear anything so she rang and left another message. Come Tuesday still no news so I emailed her the number (as I only had it) and told her to be really strict with him, take no nonsense etc etc....... 30 mins later I had that sinking feeling ... followed by a massive belly laugh as she had been calling "Tom" in my phone not Tom the plumber who was handily labelled as "Plumber" in my phone.... she'd actually been calling a guy I'd dated a few times but it fizzled out... mainly because I'd met him on an online dating site and he'd lied and he came up to my knee - not the 6ft adonis he'd made out to be! Hilarious that he actually spoke to her though - mentalist! I emailed him once I realised and he was most ungracious... whoopsy... ha ha!

This is the danger or texting!!!

I broke up with an ex once by text (I know harsh, but I was young), anyway after I had done it I text my friend saying I had finally done it, and how glad I was, and was generally slagging the guy in question off. Only I didn't text my friend, I text the ex insted, serves me right for dumping the guy by phone I guess!

I've been a lurker for a little while now, but this post prompted me to sign up and reply! I am so glad I'm not the only one that has done this sort of thing. In a bid to make you feel better, here's my story: I was woken up at 5am one morning by a text from my ex who was travelling to work and wanted to talk to me (we were still friends, despite the break-up). I was half asleep and he had asked me how I was doing and whether I had sorted out the problem in work (my boss wasn't giving me my hours in advance and would call at 10am on a Monday morning asking me to come in in two hours, or whatever).

So, as it had been bothering me for months, I let off all hell. I text saying that she was being a right nobber, wasn't giving me my hours in advance and it was 5am Monday morning, and I didn't know my hours for that day even, or later in the week and I was very annoyed and my life didn't revolve around her, etc. I thought nothing of it at the time...

Then I get a phone call from said boss at 10am calmly asking me to go in at 12, and could I come in ten mins early as she needed to talk to me about something. I then found out, instead of pressing reply to ex's text, I'd ended up sending the bitchy/ranty message to my BOSS!!!!! She was so angry, shouted at me and refused to talk to me for two months! Although eventually she came round and I discussed my issues with her, and things were better than ever. So it did work out in the end! I nearly died at the time and quit!

Welcome to hitched Rumour. When are you getting married?

Oh, we haven't set a date yet, hence the lurking! I'm a 'mature' student (at 24!), at uni and so we can't really afford it just yet, but I was engaged before and planned a wedding (that didn't go ahead), and I used to post here then, so I've lurked on and off over the years since then (mostly on OT)

Welcome to Hitched Rumour - that's well funny, but glad you got it sorted!

Okay 2 stories - one texting, one something I said.

My gran's mobile number is right before Stupidboy's number. I wrote this romantic - and mildly filthy text and.... you guessed it....sent it to my gran!!!!!!! She thought it was hysterical.

Another one - altho not phone related, was at uni, having lunch in halls of residence canteen. Girl I knew vaguely sat down at table looking miserable. I asked what's wrong - the food wasn't that bad, it's not like someone had died (meaning to be funny) she said actually, my gran's just died. And burst into tears..........

I've done this a few times... but the worst was when I first starting seeing my ex Michael and before things got serious between us I also began seeing another chap also called Michael and texting them both got very confusing and I definitely sent texts to the wrong one and had to cover up as neither of them knew about the other.

Moral of my story... don't date 2 people with identical names at the same time ?
