There's an unsend option on gmail? Doing that now....</p> <p>I've never sent a text or email to the wrong person, but I often accidentally call my husband when I mean to call our hospice rep at work (they have the same first name). </p> <p>I got a text once from someone that said "My flight gets in at 5. Will you be there to pick me up?" I didn't get it till SEVERAL hours later, well after 5, and wrote back saying "I think you sent this to the wrong person! I hope you found your ride!" I almost called the number and offered to pick them up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-114000 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:08:39 +0000 sandy 114000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet but my husband had been the recipient of some late night texts (like booty call texts)...he thought it was hilarious and responded to mess with them...I was mortified and told him to stop. After a few exchanges he told them they had the wrong number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113673 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:22:33 +0000 chopsuey 113673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omggggggg!!! At least you didn't say anything bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113666 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:16:00 +0000 Andrea 113666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: the only time i have done this involved my boss too!!! i wrote something really rude about him to send to DH. luckily, i thought twice before i sent it and edited the email to something being only mildly rude. thank goodness i did the editing because i ended up sending the email to my boss. he tapped me on the shoulder and said "i think you meant to send this to someone else". i was working with my co-worker on something at the time so i mumbled something quickly and turned back to the computer to avoid him. *mortified* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113665 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:15:34 +0000 BabyLove 113665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah! That's one of my greatest fears! I panic almost daily that I've done it. And it's not necessary that I talk negatively about people daily. It's just that some topics aren't meant for a larger audience! </p> <p>I did accidentally text my friend when I meant to text my other friend. Unfortunately, the text was about the friend I texted so that was awkward. I tried to spin an ellaborate lie (via text because I wouldn't have been able to pull it off on a phone call) that my message was actually about someone else. Ugh, she probably didn't believe me but had the decency to pretend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113653 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:03:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 113653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've texted my friend something that was intended for my husband a few times. Luckily it wasn't anything naughty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113648 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:58:51 +0000 Mrsbells 113648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens to me all time and I hate it!!! The other day my husand got home early and I text him to take some chicken out of the freezer to defrost so I could get a head start on dinner when I got home and I sent the text to someone else!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113640 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:52:56 +0000 Grace 113640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol- I wrote a sweet nothings goodnight text to my DH (then boyfriend) and sent it to a friend of mine. She texted back "I love you to sweetiepie lol".</p> <p>One of my co-workers sent an inappropriate joke out once, and somehow managed to send it out to the whole company (~500 people). As he was trying to recall it, he was summones to HR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-113129 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:06:23 +0000 BSB 113129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: OMG. I would have freaked and maybe tried to cover it up by telling him it that you were talking about your cousin Doug.</p> <p>I have texted the wrong person when I thought I was sending a text to someone name Nicholas but on my iphone I saw the 'Nich' part of my friend Nichole's name. Luckily, she didn't mind and I wasn't talking about her. So it wasn't that bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112729 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 18:21:29 +0000 autumnlove 112729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I know!!!!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: There is an unsend feature!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112719 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 18:18:05 +0000 regberadaisy 112719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yowzer! Good thing the text wasn't more telling!</p> <p>I have meant to email my friend before regarding bday present ideas for my husband. But then put my husband in the TO: line!</p> <p>Commence quick texting to tell my husband not to read that email! hahaha</p> <p>Now I have the "unsend" feature turned on my gmail! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112707 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 18:14:20 +0000 banana 112707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Good thing the text was innocent. What if you texted something like "Ugh. I can't stand Doug. He's such a moron.". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112677 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:55:16 +0000 heffalump 112677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: it was because he was too cheap to get a cab and wanted my parents to go way way out of their way to pick him and his family up at a destination wedding. He did end up just getting a cab! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112672 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:52:19 +0000 autumnlove 112672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: lol, maybe that cousin took the complaints as a form of feedback! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112667 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:49:07 +0000 heffalump 112667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, oh no! At least he seemed cool with it and he seems pretty caring!</p> <p>I never did that thank goodness, but my cousin meant to send an email to my mom complaining about another cousin. And of course she sent ot to the wrong cousin, who she was complaining about. He sent her back a pretty nasty email but they were fine after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/textingemailing-the-wrong-recipient#post-112661 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:46:09 +0000 autumnlove 112661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been with my company for almost ten years and I want to get a more flexible schedule (part time or work from home) so I can spend more time with my LO. I've been talking to my friend about it and we have gone over different ways to propose it to my boss Doug.</p> <p>So today, I thought I texted my friend "so, when do you think I should talk to Doug" but I accidentally texted my boss instead. Ugh, so embarrassing! He wrote back with " I suspect this text was meant for someone else. Please remember you can talk to me whenever you want and I hope you are ok"</p> <p>Ugh, have you ever texted or emailed the wrong person?! </p>
