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!

[Now he's smiling. There's something oddly amusing about Faith wanting to take him shoe shopping.]

I couldn't accept that.

Are you watching around without shoes on?

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that would be gr0ss. I'm wearing socks.
msattentionspan: (buffy s7) (e. | probably on the outside)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That's still called walking around without shoes on

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if you want to be technical about it.
msattentionspan: (e. | you think so - huh?)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Angel, you need to wear shoes. Did you only have one pair?

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I had more, but they all broke over time.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought you were going to?
msattentionspan: (buffy s7) (Default)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. We're going. You have to come with because I don't know what size your big feet are.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine. But afterwards you have to let me take you somewhere.
msattentionspan: (angel s4) (e. | just moving along)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds vague.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It was supposed to be. I don't actually have anywhere in mind.
msattentionspan: (angel s4) (e. | no halos here)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you really have no other pairs of shoes?

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes.]

No. I was just joking.
msattentionspan: (angel s4) (e. | long car rides suck)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Because we can't actually go shopping if you don't have any shoes to wear.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, Faith. I've found my boots. And there's plenty more in the wardrobe. [Lies!!!]
msattentionspan: (buffy s7) (Default)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do I not trust you with these long lines of text messaging? You're taking your time doing it so you don't make mistakes. Angel what aren't you telling me.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm honing in on my texting skills. I even found the auto-correct button.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a colorful word.
msattentionspan: (buffy s7) (e. | not impressed at all)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Double rainbow all the way. Now cut the crap and tell me the truth.

[personal profile] championy 2012-08-13 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Double what?]

I did.
msattentionspan: (buffy s7) (e. | an appropriate response)

[personal profile] msattentionspan 2012-08-13 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Then get your other shoes on and I'll meet you outside in twenty.
