The answers are extremely cringeworthy, and maybe a little relatable, too:
1.
“It was actually an email from one of my bosses.
When we met, I acted as if I knew nothing about the email.
Did I get my bonus, you ask?
Hell yes…100% of it!”

The text just said, ‘I love you.’
She texted me back and told me she meant to send it to her husband."
Randal P., Quora

Would you like me to bring you a dress?'
I read it twice before realizing he obviously meant to send it to his wife.
I wouldn’t have teased him about it if I had known what awaited me.
Two weeks later, he was supposed to come into my office for a meeting.
I need sex.'
What I actually wrote was, ‘Wait for me to call you.
I need a sec.’
Thank you, autocorrect."

“It started a hilarious conversation with someone who was obviously drunk and asking for nudes.
I played along and sent pics of old nude statues.
Then they asked for a real pic.
So I sent them a picture of Dick Van Dyke.
They never messaged again.
I was saddened, ‘cuz I was having a grand old time.
=]”

We didnt have a date that night.
I called him right away and told him thanks for the nice text.
He got rather flustered and said he meant he wished he could see me.
I told him I was free that evening.
He hung up on me.
I called him and told him that I could forgive just about anything but dishonesty.
If we didnt sort this, we were done.
At first, he agreed we would talk over the weekend then he called to cancel Friday afternoon.
He admitted months later that he met another woman, but it didnt work out.
He asked if I wanted to loop back and try.
I hung up."

“I mistakenly received an email from Amnesty International and it was a big deal.
Two years ago, a friend of mine was jailed in Kosovo under politically motivated and false charges.
Should I ask for more details or send an out of office?'”
“This email was directed at another case worker and had been sent erroneously to my email address.
I thought to myself,‘WTF?
Amnesty is sending out of office notifications when they dont want to deal with a case?’
I replied to the email and told them that they had made a mistake.
I put a screenshot of the email on Twitter and tagged Amnestys Head of Europe.
After my reply, their tone softened, and we agreed to bury the hatchet and continue working together.
I wasnt interested in making a scandal, I just wanted to get my friend out of prison.

She started blushing, and passed me the phone, saying, ‘you gotta handle this.’
So I wrote back, ‘Dude, this is her husband.
Just what were you thinking?’
He answered, ‘Maybe you should talk to your wife.’
‘Do you know which number you texted to?’
For several minutes, radio silence.
When he replied, he said, ‘Sorry, man.
But, at least she knows what shes missing.’
‘Dude, were OLD.
You cant be that hard up.’
‘Sorry…’ Ah, the joys of the digital age.”

She then apologized and confirmed it was for someone else.

I sent it from a phone that I just replaced with a new number and provider.
Our mom could sign her name, but she couldnt talk anymore.
My sister did this while our stepdad was having back surgery and was gone for a month.
He couldnt do anything since it was her who took out money.
My stepdad got a restraining order on my sister."

“I once sent all of my coworkers a group text that said, ‘These chickens look horrible.
I dont like them.’
I meant to send that to my wife.
My coworkers enjoyed trying to figure out what I meant.
Was I talking about them?
Was I talking about a student?
What was the deeper meaning behind ‘chickens’?
Was it a code word for something else?
Or ‘You know whats worse than ugly chickens?
Ugly cows.'”

“I SENT a happy birthday mail to my EX instead of my sister one time.
It was embarrassing as hell.”
Ayan R.C., Quora
And finally…
12.
“I meant to text my husband that I wanted a pet anaconda for my birthday.
My husband is usually the first person in my messages inbox because I rarely text anyone else.
I blindly sent both texts to the director in quick succession: the link and the message.
I was like, ‘How do YOU know I was considering buying a reptile?’
He showed me his phone and the texts from me.
We laughed about it and it was all cool, but it was a little embarrassing.”
