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!

it's okay.

[for a moment there's a small pause, as if the conversation is over, then a few moments later --]

THE bruce wayne??

It's what my driver's license says.

[hahah no what]

your parents actually named you after a superhero?

[excusez moi?]

Actually, I believe they named me after one of my mother's relatives.

that's kind of lucky, i think.

Not really. I think he was the family's black-sheep. My mother just really liked him.

oh, i meant about the name. do people call you batman sometimes?

Afraid not, Miss...? I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

really? i'd think they would.

sorry. serena van der woodsen, it's nice to meet you, bruce (:

not too many people take it the right way, being compared to a man dressed in a giant bat-suit. but I'm flattered, Serena.

well he was a hero, right? even if the bat-suit was a little over the top, i still think it would be a fine nickname.

you're welcome, i think.

I think some people would plead the Fith on that one.

oh, come on. it's not that bad.

sure, we all have a few issues. The bat-guy just takes them to the extreme.

i thought he saved a lot of people. but he's fictional, so what's wrong?

absolutely nothing, Serena.

well, okay. don't get too caught up in it all.

you mean the whole bat thing? I've already forgotten about it.

glad you can get over things easily, then.

so, what do you do for a living?

other than being an industrialist and philanthropist? I also happen to be owner and chairman of Wayne Enterprises. [billionaire playboy can also go there somewhere.]

i thought we got over the whole you're not batman thing.

[because she really doesn't want to put two and two together at the moment.]

I'm not.

[All coincidences, Serena ;)]

[there are too many!]

sure. who are you trying to convince, me or you?

If I said both, would that be too much?

yeah, i think that's going a little far.
