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!

I would truly like to see you try, Stark.

Well. Let's just say a little bird told me :)

To be fair, Wall Street is generally run by white collars who are embarrassments to the human race, so don't fault yourself too much, okay?

And yet you decided to keep the conversation going by not responding that you indeed were not my four headed wife, the first time you responded. Congrats what you did was so...

[The phone rings just once before a breathy, low growl can be heard. There's a pause, then Edgar clears his throat and smoothly speaks into the receiver.]

...do I sound like Singed to you?

You know I loathe Beckett

Oh no, it's too much

Sorry, sorry, Sherlock, just a bit of fun. I won't do it again. I super double promise I'll get the milk and the sugar and all the other things we need for our cozy happy flat. I even bought a new jumper! Now I'm the happiest boy in all the land.

[...true, but it's not the same as a medical doctor. Still, a doctor in anything? Still a doctor.]

The past is testament to that, on both sides, I would say.

[personal profile] medicalhell 2012-08-14 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
And do what spare me the anguish of speaking with a stranger who's IQ is less than that of a weeping puppy? Why don't you do that and tell me how it goes? I'll be here eating a bit ol' bucket of popcorn and watching a soap opera. You know the one with the very stereotypical teens who cry about Justin the next door neighbor going out with a fat chick.

[She pauses. He's lucky that he's not in her proximity.]

Where is Singed? What did you do to him?

therealgenius: (Please don't pee on the floor.)

[personal profile] therealgenius 2012-08-14 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Unless you're talking as you text, you're not speaking at all. I'm not speaking, so you'd be speaking to a phone. Or the air in front of a phone.

Big is beautiful, haven't you heard?
therealgenius: (Makes a name off his suffering.)

Shhhh, I was trying to encourage you not to call yourself an embarrassment.

[personal profile] medicalhell 2012-08-14 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse me but thanks to a certain lap dog I must refer to text as speaking. If I refer to it as any other form, I will...die a horrible, horrible death.

If you want to die a truly horrible death, you're talking to the right guy. I just so happen to be a weapons designer; how would you prefer to go?

One- don't call me dear. Two- I want explanation. How did you get his number?

[Because this is HIS number, she checked it...]

Beats me. Maybe you ought to ask the phone company...

In other words, it blew up in your face. Which I assumed it would.

And how many were successes, Harley?
