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!


whutobjection: (hmmm...)

watsoff: Is this even tea (07 Fancy a cuppa?)

ahh, I've never thought about it, but I can see how they would be! :D

[One moment while he double checks the number he sent that text to... Weird, he's sure it's the right number. (Forgetting the names of his girlfriends, and now their numbers? What next, John?)]

John. Sorry, is this Claire?

whutobjection: (wtf man?)

No... I'm Phoenix, Phoenix Wright.
watsoff: Why would you even (02 You did not just)

1/2

Strange, I thought I'd typed the correct number. Sorry about that.
watsoff: Seriously, don't (06 Don't just don't)

they would also both deny said romantic tension to said genius jerks XD 2/2

[After checking the number he's written down, he sends another text to that number. Just in case he misread something.]

Hello, is this Claire?
whutobjection: (wtf man?)

yep.

[personal profile] whutobjection 2012-08-14 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, still Phoenix
