MMS disaster
Not a disaster for me, but definitely for Dave.

I recently started a text message service called Text2T. Basically people MMS in photos from their mobile, we print them on a t shirt and post them to their specified delivery address.

Soon after launching we received an order early one sunday morngin including a photo of a not-so-classy couple obviously playing a game of hide-the-sausage.

Ok we thought, they look over a certain age so lets print it on a t shirt and send it to the specified address: maybe its a sexy little present.

Tuesday morning there's a screaming lady on the office answerphone jabbering on about said t shirt. We couldn't make head nor tail of what she was banging on about so we called the number that the order came from.

After a rather confused conversation with a rough sounding bloke, we'll call him Dave for that was his name, we worked out what had happened:

Dave's mate didnt really like his girlfriend for she was 'a witch'. So he'd got hold of Dave's phone after a session one evening and used our service to text in a photo of Dave and a recent out-of-relationship conquest and have the resulting product sent to the witch.

Poor dave. All he wanted was an easy life and between his mate and us we'd scuppered that.

From what i could see in the photo, his length needed no apologies.
