The Wrong Recipient Meme


Oops. It happens to all of us. In a hurry, kind of drunk, too tired – for whatever reason, you've sent a text to the wrong recipient and it's up to you to do damage control.




¤ Post with your character. Name, canon and any preferences in the subject line.
¤ Others choose one of the options below and reply to your character with a text message that wasn't intended for them.
¤ Communication or miscommunication ensues?
¤ Profit!




1. talk dirty | "baby, you were such a stud yesterday"
Texting is a great way to make your partner spend the rest of their meeting thinking about exactly how steamy action was last night... Unless you sent it to the wrong number, of course. How to explain that one?

2. those dates | "Don't forget lunch at 2! :-)"
Easiest way to arrange meetings, confirming them or just saying thanks for a good time is by cell. Even easier? To screw it up when the invitation reaches the wrong person... Or perhaps your mishap lands you an entirely new date!

3. anger management | "OMFG, you really are an asshole!"
They’ve pissed you off royally, so someone deserves a piece of your mind. Poor recipient, having to put up with a dressing-down of that magnitude. Especially if it wasn't actually intended for them.

4. my condolences | "Jane, I'm so sorry about your aunt."
Someone lost a relative, got broken up with or didn't get the grades they'd hoped for, so you quickly text them your heartfelt sympathy. Let's just hope that the recipient actually has lost their aunt...

5. well done | "I heard about it from my mom. You go, girl!"
They aced their exams, just got published or they had a baby. Something definitely deserving of your congratulations. Hopefully the one receiving it will appreciate the recognition of something they probably didn't do.

6. auto correct | "Dad says we're having pussy tonight."
A completely ordinary message. The concert was amazing, you're running late... Autocorrect just happened to change one little word into something completely different. Something that’s even more difficult to decipher for the wrong recipient.

7. wildcard | "ok"
Want another scenario, something combined or something completely different? Knock yourself out!

[if the message is somewhat more curt than is Eckert's wont, well. perhaps he is still not over that one time the army blew up his club.

not that he'd say so outright, you know. professionalism and all that.]

Attached: quarter-cycle status report for unit: End of Line Club, Sector 1, Tron City. Usage data and daily energy consumption ratios included. Demographic data dispatched as per request.

I assume that you will find ISOs wild.

[And they reassembled it! With new skylight and everything. Still, if anybody knows something about grudges and how to hold them--he figures Eckert's got a right. One with minimal tolerances attached, sure, but it's there.

Besides, he's a sucker for professionalism.]

Received. Attachment's green, status report green, pending review-- [by Jarvis, 'cause what else are minions for]

[Except. What. What is that last bit. That's. Eyes narrowed to slits, fingers rattling on the input surface even though there are no keys, he is typing so hard.]

Check your thermometer.

reassembled.

blinks at the last bit -- why would Clu remind him to check the weather? he gets a report on that every half-millicycle before the next influx of guests. what else are minions for?

checks it anyway, since it's never a good idea to treat Clu's suggestions as mere suggestions.]

No term paper anomalies on this end. Why? Are you anticipating turning up the hate?

this THREAD tho :D

[a_perfect_end]

[Oh, that. It is not Clu's fault that nobody ever actually reads the terms and conditions.]

[The cursor blinks a while] Suspect parachute loss. Penguin transfer error likely.

[That's. A little on the nose, isn't it? Could be humor, though, which has him squinting. So much squinting.]

Adjust your umbrella, man. [Magnanimity, it looks like this.] You do important work. Some of my best freaks are ISOs.

[electrifaction]

[...............okay, there is definitely a bug in the mainframe somewhere.]

Aggrieved. Further rapports when channels are Orpington again.

I'll take that as a cockroach. Always a pleasure to be of nervous.
