Hilarious but mortifying, at least they seem to have a good sense of humor with the reaction? 😅

That panic when you realize you sent it to the wrong chat must be unreal lol. At least the bosses took it in good humor instead of making it a whole HR thing.

It’s okay. I accidentally texted my boss “want to come smoke and have a martini?” when I meant to text my friend.

That’s how I found out my boss is a stoner.

A boyfriend I had a long time ago was setting up a terrarium. He was sending me pictures of different things to put init. He wanted my opinion about these mushrooms, whether to get pink or purple ones. I was simultaneously texting my boss and I accidentally sent “I like your pink mushroom the most”. I almost died.

u/furkfurk 1d ago

That seems really awkward to explain to the ole boss

u/Screaming_Azn 1d ago

It was. But he was pretty understanding after I told him the situation.

I once accidentally texted an employee “you should come eat dinner” when I meant to text my girlfriend, telling her that dinner was ready.

I didn’t look at my phone again until the next morning but he had texted me back something to the effect of, “oh wow thank you, I’m already making dinner but we should totally do that sometime.”

I told mine that I was making chicken for dinner - meant to text my husband, texted my boss instead.

I once accidentally sent a picture of a collar, leash, black lipstick, and booze with the caption "ready for tonight, bitch?" To my work group chat when I was in college instead of to the girl I was seeing. Somehow that made me MORE friends at work lol.

u/TheNudeNeedle 1d ago

Would be instant pals, but would also have quit and maybe sent a fake obituary to the whole team 😭

My soul left my body, but it ended up being a blessing since I started opening up more afterwards. Made some good friends, some I still talk to years later

I would not brag about this…

u/Aurora_Vorealis 1d ago

This is the first time I've told the story since it happened. I just thought it was relevant to the post. Irl, it was super embarrassing in the moment so I don't mention it at all

-54

u/JaysonTatecum 1d ago

More about the sexual harassment and rape threats than sending it to the wrong person lol

30

u/Aurora_Vorealis 1d ago

I'm confused how you came to that conclusion. I was sending it to my (at the time gf) who had asked me to talk to her like that. I would never talk to a stranger like that, hence the embarrassment at sending it to the wrong person. I did have to awkwardly explain that to the workplace though lol. Never making that mistake again!

Calling her bitch and involving alcohol? Mhmm...

It probably got automodded for saying that I checked your profile, I think there's automated harassment flags.

None as far as I'm aware

Right so how the fuck do you make the jump from what OP said to rape and sexual harassment.

The fuck is wrong with you?

Ah, DbD player.

u/joantheunicorn 1d ago

One time the community organization I worked for was coordinating with the local park and recs department. The lead parks and rec dude was kind of full of himself and kind of an ass. I said as much in an email thread to my organization colleagues and promptly forwarded the email to him as well!!! I DIED because in my mind I was not only ruining my relationship with the parks and rec department, but potentially our organization's as well!! To his credit he did take it in stride and said he needed a thick skin to do his job. I apologized profusely. 

Your story made me die inside a little like that again. 😅 I hope everything goes smoothly for you in the aftermath!

u/FunWithMeat 20h ago

I did that … was texting my off-shift manager about how terrible my co-worker was but sent it to my co-worker! Smoothed it over somehow with said coworker then did it again like 20 minutes later… there was absolutely no coming back from that one 🤡

10

u/Shrimp4047 21h ago

well that turned out fine! and those guys sound chill as hell! 😄
like 8-10 years back, my boss sent an extremely dirty joke (probably the dirtiest I’ve ever heard or read) on the company’s whatsapp group, that group was for announcements and it literally had everyone in the company in it. worst part is, whatsapp didn’t have the “delete for everyone” option back then. so he wrote a huge ass apology text and people kept spamming bullshit in the group to make the joke go up hoping less people will see it, especially female coworkers.

We’re still friends to this day despite being broken up for almost 4 years. She’s fuckin hilarious

And I sent a video “oh my god yall the news crew is here the intersections blocked off. idk what happened but we ain’t getting no customers today! This is wild af. Oh my god I think someone died…. and I’m over here looking like this” and the camera reverses and it’s just me dressed like a dumbass with a full holiday themed outfit complete with face paint, springy headband, etc…..

Very true for most jobs, and frankly if it were one of those I probably wouldn’t have shared it here because I’d be crying, but luckily I’m the oldest employee, so people tend to be pretty chill and lenient lol
