the wrong recipient meme

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!

Of course I fucking do, they're of no importance! And you, pet are skating dangerously close to the edge of my patience with your little tantrums. If you aren't drunk I'm going to smack you sober anyway.

[What is going on right now!? Is it Thursday? Somewhere it is, right? Like no Venus. Yes, Iron Man is on Venus with VT&T cell service. Very astute, Justin.]

Apologies in advance, but I think our history makes it logical that I regard this as disingenuous.

[ Mistaken identity happened, Faith.

Well, he honestly had no idea what he was getting himself into. He was almost certain that if Elena were here, he'd get some sort of an earful or another. Hell, even Stefan wouldn't be so dumb adventurous as to go 'vampire hunting'. But this was Damon - brash, impulsive (most of the time). While he knew the importance of a well thought out plan, sometimes curiosity and boredom got the best of him.

Like now, as he easily spots a petite-looking girl leaning against the iron-wrought gates. Brows go up, a smirk tugs on that smug face of his, as his steps soundlessly near.

You know, honey, you might want to double check the number the next time. [ The smirk grows to a grin. ]

It's a bit more complicated than that, I'm afraid.

Justin Hammer, CEO Hammer Industries and weapons supplier for the Department of Defense. This is a very private phone line, so I'm a little baffled how you found it, unless it was an accident. Does that make it easier to understand?

[personal profile] soferocious 2012-08-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
are you serious?

[personal profile] soferocious 2012-08-14 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
you're REALLY justin hammer?
therealgenius: (Obligatory.)

[personal profile] therealgenius 2012-08-14 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
1) Yes, yes I'm serious.
2) Dare I ask why you know who Justin Hammer actually is?
