"What did that last text mean?"
Six words that fill you with dread as you feverishly check to see what text you've mistakenly sent a lady friend blissfully unaware of your kink interests.
Kind of deserves you right - you've been multi-texting and sooner or later this was bound to happen.
Now what did it say?
In this situation you have to be quick and imaginative in your response.
Let's say it said something pretty extreme: "Next time let's try the branding iron, I think that will have a more lasting effect!"
Tricky for sure to explain that one ... but salvageable.
Say you work in the printing profession.
Just make it work related, as follows:
"Oh sorry about that. Text was meant for boss at printing site. I want him to try out some new fonts. You know you have helvetica, courier and, erm, branding iron."
Maybe not text the word 'erm'. Just think it.
Admittedly the exclamation mark in the original text is a bit matey for a work colleague but thank the lord there were no 'x's.
Anyway, job done.
Next time check and double check who you're sending risque texts to.

Oh I have so been there  I once sent the following text: 'home safe and sound Master, going to bed like a good girl' Got a reply saying ' going to bed like a good boy' from.... ......an ex work colleague
I was absolutely mortified, I suppose on the bright side I didn't work with them any longer so didnt have to face them the next day | ||

I am often absolutely terrified about sending things to the wrong people. I dread the day I manage to do it.. seems inevitable! | ||

Jesus that's brutal. Can't think of an excuse for that one. Let me ruminate.

Yes to be fair, if it's a particularly 'hawt' text I'm going to send I stare at the recipient's name for a while to make sure it's the correct person. Otherwise, I might make a mistake and I'd simply have to change my name by deed poll and leave the country. The poon won't come flocking if you sit and do nothing. | ||

I just decided to go for the ignore option and pretend I had never received it. Lucky I did not see the person until about a year later and they never mentioned it. Could have been worse I suppose and be my current boss as his number was on my phone. I always like to look on the bright side.

Of course, although entire sentences such as: "I want you to beat the living crap out of me, then stroll off laughing haughtily as I'm left in a bloody, tear-stained mass of broken limbs..." might be pushing it a bit to blame on predictive text. Worth a shot though and if that fails it's the aforementioned changing-name-by-deed-poll-and-leaving-the-country option. The poon won't come flocking if you sit and do nothing. | ||

Iphone or no iphone blame it on autocorrect! That fantastic little app produces some epic text fails.
