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 a bit more complicated than that, I'm afraid.

Justin Hammer, CEO Hammer Industries and weapons supplier for the Department of Defense. This is a very private phone line, so I'm a little baffled how you found it, unless it was an accident. Does that make it easier to understand?

[soferocious]

are you serious?

[soferocious]

you're REALLY justin hammer?

[therealgenius]

1) Yes, yes I'm serious.
2) Dare I ask why you know who Justin Hammer actually is?

[soferocious]

i read about you. saw you in some magazines a while ago.

i'm ginny van loon. yes, a relation of carl van loon's.

[therealgenius]

The Wall Street Carl van Loon?

[soferocious]

that's the one. you know him? i feel badly for you if you do.

[therealgenius]

I know OF him, we may have attended the same benefits. Other than that, no, I'm afraid not. I don't exactly keep up with Wall Street, no offense intended. Nor implied, I hope.

[soferocious]

you're not missing out on anything, trust me. boring lot, those guys. not an ounce of creativity or fun in all of them combined.

[therealgenius]

How are you related?

[soferocious]

i'm his embarrassment of a daughter.

[therealgenius]

To be fair, Wall Street is generally run by white collars who are embarrassments to the human race, so don't fault yourself too much, okay?

[soferocious]

aren't you a charmer. not so sure the morally bankrupt of the military industrial complex have much room to judge, though. sorry to say.

[therealgenius]

Shhhh, I was trying to encourage you not to call yourself an embarrassment.

[soferocious]

i wasn't being facetious about the charming. i don't make a point of caring what most people think of me. but someone like you probably doesn't need to hear that from me.

[therealgenius]

Not caring can be bad, but so can caring *too* much. It's like junk food or sugar--everything in moderation. Find a tolerable balance, that sort of thing.

[soferocious]

you're talking to the wrong person about moderation mr hammer.

[therealgenius]

And you, Miss van Loon, are talking to the wrong man about surprise house parties. So we're at an impasse, it seems.

[soferocious]

it's not really a party, per se. you have my number now if you ever change your mind.

[therealgenius]

Dare I ask what it actually is?

[He totally just Googled her. He fears it has to do with drugs 8(]

[soferocious]

if you can't figure it out you're not as smart as i thought.

[ Well, in all actuality it might end up there, but for the time being she's just chilling with a bottle of wine the friend she was trying to get in touch with happens to favour. ]

[therealgenius]

That would be presumptuous of me, Ginny. May I call you Ginny? I really am not a fan of judging another by their personal business made publicity fodder, you'll find.

[soferocious]

i can say with confidence most of what's been written about me is probably true.

[therealgenius]

You read EVERYTHING said about you? Because there's...a lot.

[soferocious]

no not all of it. but the reader's digest condensed version discussion alcohol and drug addiction, partying, rehab after rehab, and family embarrassment. i think what they really mean to say is i know how to have a good time.
