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!

[Oh, yes, of course.]

Bruce Wayne. Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne? Billionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne? That Bruce Wayne?

['Bruce Wayne' is now predictive text in her phone.]

The one and only.

That explains all the coats. I'm sure that's not the only thing that's been left in your cars over the years.

Well, Annie Walker. It might be best if we continue this conversation face to face.
kittenheeled: (Side - hairbuns)

Let me find my coat first. Do you have a place in mind?
battyman: © merriestchase (we'll see about that)

[personal profile] battyman 2012-08-13 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That all depends on where you're currently located.
battyman: © merriestchase (let me rest)

[personal profile] battyman 2012-08-13 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a problem.
kittenheeled: (Down look)

[personal profile] kittenheeled 2012-08-13 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Where and when do you want to meet?
battyman: © merriestchase (i don't do it for the money)

[personal profile] battyman 2012-08-13 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Give me two hours. Meet outside the Café Milano?
kittenheeled: (Hurt / Suspicious)

[personal profile] kittenheeled 2012-08-13 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he could pull that off, she was going to be mildly impressed.]

All right. See you then. I'll be the coatless blonde.
battyman: © merriestchase (when i see you again)

[personal profile] battyman 2012-08-13 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm looking forward to it.
