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!

[ He's probably sleeping off a hangover, so you should definitely wake him up. ]

[blooddancer]

I suppose congratulations are in order. Perhaps I was too hasty in dismissing your abilities.

Re: 5

[ironfright]

[ After some fumbling for his phone. ]

wht the fuck what abilits

[ Oh shit, what did he not remember about last night?? ]

[blooddancer]

[Disapproving frown here.]

Did your ability to type the English language disappear along with your alcohol tolerance? You did not drink that much yesterday.

[ironfright]

[ Scrubbing his face vigorously and squinting at the number on the screen, wondering how buggered was he? ]

I don't remember how much I drank. Who is this?

[blooddancer]

[Now she's just angry.]

Three. There were only three beers before the mission. What is wrong with you Cole? You know who this is.

[ironfright]

I'm not Cole and I feel bad for the guy who has a babysitter keeping count of how many drinks he has.

[blooddancer]

Who is this?

[ironfright]

I asked first.

[blooddancer]

I am either a person who either misdialed a number or you picked up somebody else's phone.

[ironfright]

Okay when you figure it out let me know.

[blooddancer]

[She's glaring at the phone, checks the phone number and instead of admitting she was wrong she deletes all messages, refusing to text back.]

[ironfright]

[ About an hour later, another text comes in, assuming she hasn't blocked his number. ]

hey since you woke me up and I'm still hungover, you owe me coffee.

at least three of them.

then I'll buy you lunch deal?

[blooddancer]

Your reasoning and deal are both flawed. Why should I spend money on your coffee when I can use it to buy my own lunch?

[ironfright]

Because you apparently owe Cole congratulations for something and since he's not answering, it'd be a shame to let them go to waste.

[blooddancer]

Your reasoning needs work. Cole will show up at my door within a few hours.

[ironfright]

please?

[blooddancer]

[She's a sucker for pathetic.]

Very well. It will be a short lunch.

[ironfright]

[ He'll send an address for an outdoor cafe, though of course there's nothing promising that she won't stand him up. ]

[blooddancer]

[Which is what happens. Zealot never makes it to the cafe due to her work coming first and she doesn't see a reason to send a text apologizing.]
