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!

I mean... I think you've gotten your wires crossed. Who is this? You must be mistaken.

[battyman]

Playing games now, are we?
Who do you think?

[adapted]

Mr. President? I told you explicitly not to call me at this number.

[battyman]

Haha.
It's Bruce.

Unless you've managed to confuse me with one of those many other boyfriends of yours.

[adapted]

There -are- a number of them whose names start with B.

You're no fun. I knew it was you. The original message still wasn't intended for anyone by the name of Bruce Wayne, but you should hold onto it anyway. One day it might be.

[battyman]

Just curious to see how far you'd take it.

How generous of you.

[adapted]

I can be very generous. Lucky for you I have things to do.

[battyman]

Things?

[adapted]

I did say the original text wasn't meant for you, didn't I?

[battyman]

What can I say? My curiosity compels me.

[adapted]

Well I hate to be cliche but curiosity killed the cat, as they say.

[battyman]

Well, then it's a good thing I'm not the cat-related one in this situation.

[adapted]

If I had any bat-related puns up my sleeve, you'd be the first to hear about it.

Things. They don't concern you. It's a hard concept to grasp, I know.

[battyman]

You wound me.

But I understand.

[adapted]

How sad for you, considering your masochistic tendencies.

You're letting it go that easily? If I turn around and you're in my way, I might have to stop braiding our friendship bracelets.

[battyman]

Maybe I'm saving my nitpicking for later.

[adapted]

That's confident of you.

[battyman]

Let me know when you're ready to meet face to face again. [Courtesy demands that he ask that. He'll probably be at her front door at the most random of moments, packed and ready to go.]

[adapted]

Make sure you keep your nose out of my business, and I'll think about putting a light on for you.

[Common courtesy dictates that she never stops giving him hell. Also that she manages to get into some small amount of trouble before he comes scratching at her door.]

[battyman]

Trenchant as always, Selina.

[adapted]

Verbose as usual, Bruce.

[battyman]

I'll see you when I see you.

[adapted]

Until then, Mr. Wayne.
