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!

honestly the strippers were a thoughtful touch but you should have vetted the team more thoroughly. i spent more time doing clean-up than actually being entertained by that mess

[aintno_grave]

then everything went according to plan, stranger.

[colubri]

was your plan to route the entire evening into a dead end, because as i recall we were under the terms of a truce

[1/aqlkmsc]

[aintno_grave]

right.

[aintno_grave]

yes. my bad.

[aintno_grave]

can i use that i didn't know there was a truce as an excuse?

[done]

[aintno_grave]

plus the whole fact that i have no idea who you are can be factored in there somewhere.

[colubri]

[Maybe you can't see it, Doctor, but rest assured that he is doing his best squinty impression of a philip j. fry at his phone right now.]

you're not beleth, are you
either i've texted the wrong number or you're somehow even more dim-witted than usual

[aintno_grave]

[!!]

fraid not. wait hold on -- nope, ninety-nine percent sure i'm not.

[colubri]

well. drat.
mind telling me who you actually are then? this calls for some quick decision-making

[aintno_grave]

send your flowers to the doctor, courier anytime, anyplace.

[colubri]

flowers wasn't exactly what i had in mind
now am i supposed to guess what kind of euphemism this is

[aintno_grave]

alright, chocolate then. the wife's put me on the whole 'no more fish custard or anything good' diet.

[colubri]

terrible. some reason why you don't ditch her?
and you didn't answer my question btw

[aintno_grave]

she'd only find me. also her parents are scary.

[Yeah, he's just dodging your questions like balls today, isn't he?]

[colubri]

[If it weren't for that, he might well have given up by now. He's used to dealing with slippery sorts, after all, and very occasionally entertained by them.]

sounds like you're in deep. terrible luck, friend.
but perhaps i could arrange a solution to your problem

[aintno_grave]

[Luckily, the Doctor's a very slippery sort. He's got one of those "Caution: Slippery" signs following him around.]

thanks, no thanks, mate. i've taken the sex away from her. i just have to wait for her to crack.

[colubri]

clever man. or woman i suppose. we live in progressive times after all
but in the case that i got it in one, it's been my experience that women are wilier than that
are your boudoir skills truly something to be missed that terribly?

[aintno_grave]

i guess. considering that we're traveling at two different points in time, i guess. plus, i've been through dry spells of up to hundreds of years. her? not so much.

[colubri]

hundreds of years? different points in time?
i was wondering if you were human, mystery friend, but now it sounds like you're something far more interesting.

[aintno_grave]

can argue with you thar. i am VERY interesting. in fact, they've had to create new words for how interesting i am.

[colubri]

fascinating.
so just who are you then? or what, if you don't mind my asking for specifics
