Sending texts to the wrong person...
We've probably all done it at one point. Sent a text to the wrong person.
This is one of those, except I didn't accidentally text my girlfriend telling her how I was going to dump her next week or anything.

Allow me to recant...

It was a couple of years ago. I was not long in Uni and had made a few friends. One such friend was of the female persuasion, a nice girl called Dee. Dee and I were very much "just friends". There never has and probably never will be anything between us and that's sometimes the way some things should be.

So anyway, at one point Dee got with some guy called Pete. They hadn't been going out long (and as it turns out, didn't last very long either, but that's another story) so nothing had "happened" between them.
One day, while a few of us were in the Living room watching TV, at around 11pm at night, her phone went off. A text!
She picked up the phone, smiled and showed it to me. The text message read "Good night sweetheart xxx".

"Awwww!" I thought to myself, what a lovely message from Pete. Now, sadly Dee isn't the sharpest knife in the spoon drawer, sometimes, so when I took the phone from her, she didn't think much of it. I, being a mischievous little cunt, thought it would be funny to spice things up a bit, on her behalf of course.
So I hit "Reply" and typed out what I thought was a perfectly reasonable response: "I Want to bone you". Oh how I giggled to myself, with Dee being somewhat shy it would no doubt put her in a bit of a situation that would require much explanation. Oh this would be so much fun! So I hit send.

It was at that point the phone displayed the following message, much to my horror and shame:

"Sending to MUM".

Oh no. That wasn't Pete, after all. Of course it wasn't, her mum texts her good night almost every night! I knew this! For some reason, for a brief period of time, this little nugget of obviousness escaped me.

I did the only reasonable thing I could think of. I said nothing and passed the phone back to her.

Her mum visited a couple of weeks later. That was awkward.

I'm giving you a click
for the story and making me laugh, but I'm afraid I have to take it away again because you broke the cardinal rule of messing with someone else's shit.

Sorry, them's the rules.

Recount...
Recant would be to retract a previous statement
