Wrong Number

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!

And how can I know you won't misuse it? I'm inclined towards trusting Scott more, if I didn't know he probably would misplace it.

You don't trust me? I'm offended, dude. I thought we were past that.
lurkerwolf: (Surprise | So?)

[personal profile] lurkerwolf 2015-10-12 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't *mistrust* you at least. But giving you a key to my house so you can come and go as you pleases... doesn't sit well with me

what, you wouldn't want to see my charming face every day?
lurkerwolf: Shy small smile (Smile | Michevious)

[personal profile] lurkerwolf 2015-10-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I see you enough as it is.

ouch, painful. i'd almost think you don't like me with that attitude.
lurkerwolf: (Oh | Looking surprised)

[personal profile] lurkerwolf 2015-10-12 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You're wrong in your assessment in that case.
stilesinator: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] stilesinator 2015-10-12 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
oh you really do like me?? i knew it, sourwolf. you know that derek hale, he's a marshmallow inside.
lurkerwolf: (Discussing)

[personal profile] lurkerwolf 2015-10-13 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I can admit that I like you. But I'm not as soft as you think.
stilesinator: (folded arms)

[personal profile] stilesinator 2015-10-13 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
that's what you like to think. you're certainly not the big bad wolf.
lurkerwolf: (Surprise | So?)

No, that title belongs to my uncle.

nah, he's not the big bad. just the zombie wolf.

You come off as rather ignorant at times Stiles. Sure you're right, but don't underestimate Peter.

[personal profile] stilesinator 2015-10-15 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
humor is how I deal with fear, dude. I know just how awful Peter is. he turned Scott without asking and when he did ask me, I almost didn't think he'd take no for an answer.
lurkerwolf: (Oh | Looking surprised)

[personal profile] lurkerwolf 2015-10-16 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah sorry. Humor is hard to tell from texts.

Glad you'd realize the extent of Peter.

...that sounded dirtier than intended.

Neither would I.
