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!

truncates: (confusion | is that what i think it is)

[personal profile] truncates 2012-08-13 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you have the wrong number.
victory_laps: (☆; a new conversation)

[personal profile] victory_laps 2012-08-13 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gets the message and glances to the phone, scrolling to see... shit.]

Yeah, that's not a completely off the wall text you just got from a stranger. Sorry!
truncates: (down | slight disturbance)

[personal profile] truncates 2012-08-13 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. I think it happens to everyone once, or twice.

[it is a little funny.]
victory_laps: (☆; concerned)

[personal profile] victory_laps 2012-08-13 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a new phone and none of my contacts got transferred like the salesman said they would.
truncates: (seriously? no. seriously?)

[personal profile] truncates 2012-08-13 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe he was new.
victory_laps: (☆; quirky cute faces)

[personal profile] victory_laps 2012-08-13 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems to always be my luck. Thanks for being so nice about it though.
truncates: (super thumbs up)

[personal profile] truncates 2012-08-13 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure thing. Next time, you might want to check to make sure your text sends to the right person.
victory_laps: (☆; amused)

[personal profile] victory_laps 2012-08-13 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that'll be easier when I have all the names in here. It's not even funny how reliant I am on that contact list. Everyone's got five different numbers too.

[personal profile] truncates 2012-08-13 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I usually just stick to one number, maybe your friends should tone it down.
victory_laps: (☆; quiet grace)

[personal profile] victory_laps 2012-08-13 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's my ex husband. He's still using old numbers from when he was in Miami, plus the new ones he's been given here in Lexington.

[at first, dexter is considerably alarmed.

more like extremely alarmed.

but then he realizes that there is no possible way that anyone could know about him.]


What are you talking about?

[personal profile] soferocious 2012-08-13 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)

truncates: (looking | worry)

I wasn't hit recently. Who is this?
