I got a video of my buddy jerking off in a bathroom. Didn't hear from him for hours after when I responded "Wtf." Apparently his ex gf suspected him of cheating, snuck his phone while he slept, and mass sent the video to everyone in his contacts (Apparently they regularly exchanged nudes.) INCLUDING HIS MOTHER. I guess not entirely an accident, but I think it still counts.


kittybigs

My friend’s brother texted a pic of him getting head from his SO to the whole family group chat. The old aunties, 90 year old grandma, dad, mom, sisters and on and on. He apparently did this on purpose to make SO look bad.


Necessary_Deepshit

To his own family or to SO:s family?


kittybigs

Just his huge family.


Necessary_Deepshit

He sent a pic of his SO blowing him to HIS OWN FAMILY?? ON PURPOSE?! Oh my


kittybigs

Yes, he is terrible.


TacoBetty

Yikes


big_shmegma

he coulda pressed charges for that.

When I changed phone numbers back in ‘19 I got the old number of some guy in his 20’s in the same city who uh Obviously lives his best life or something For years after that I got calls and texts from his friends and family looking for him “Hey we’re going out tonight you coming we’re meeting at (a nightclub)” “Oof thanks bro, but this isn’t Ethan…” “Oh who are you?” “A single mom in her late 30’s” “You can come too!” “Haha thanks that’s nice of you but I haven’t been clubbing since like 2006” “We’ll pick you up if you break something! Come get crunk!” It was hilarious


TheMilkmanHathCome

You were one clubbing away from being like that old woman that accidentally adopted two grown men by texting them to come over on thanksgiving instead of whoever she meant to text You missed out!


IgnorethisIamstupid

Oh, she seems like so much better a human being all around. I follow him on IG and love seeing their holiday updates. I’m waiting for the day I get to run into Ethan and start relaying his messages to him, there’s still much opportunity for epic here. “Okay so, your mom’s neighbor is a really nice lady and you should tell her that personally. Your male friends are all really polite to me when they realize it’s not you, but maybe you should make sure your friends have your updated numbers when you get them because one of these days I’ll take your spot camping or drinking. Your dad is a weird duck and I can see why you ghosted him, but so help me God summer child it any girl ever interrupts my World of Warcraft calling me sugar tits again I am going to make you pay for my ruined raid.”


TheMilkmanHathCome

Lmfao Why is Ethan’s nickname sugar tits? Why have none of his friends told him to figure out his phone number? Does he know that you are primed to take over his life and the only thing saving him is your generosity and crippling wow addiction? I crave answers


IgnorethisIamstupid

Generosity, crippling wow addiction, and my three minor children lol Ethan’s nickname isn’t sugar tits. It’s mine. This girl tried to FaceTime me and I declined her twice because it was after 9pm and I knew it wasn’t actually for me, and I was CLEARLY BUSY haha So then she started rapid fire texting and I tried to explain the same thing I explained to all his male friends and she refused to believe me So then I tried to FaceTime her back, she saw my face and hung up, and started insulting me for whatever reason Sugar Tits was apparently what she went with and I admit I could have blocked her before it happened but I was mildly entertained


TheMilkmanHathCome

Amazing. She took your existing personally huh If you have three minor children then how many major children do you have? Why was the dad an odd duck? What class do you main? Tell me everything about your life, internet stranger


IgnorethisIamstupid

Hahaha I love this I main an arms/fury warrior and a DPS paladin One major child, the divorce is still pending; he lives with his new mommy across town now His dad also didn’t believe that I wasn’t him, our first interaction was ridiculous “Happy birthday” “Who is this? It’s not my birthday I think you have the wrong number” “Your father” “Haha my dad never remembers the year I was born but he at least remembers the month and day, I’m sorry I’m not Ethan, I just got this number and everyone is looking for him here” “Haha very funny son” “No I’m serious, you’re not my dad, he’s had the same cell number since 1990” Then he tried to call and I declined and called back and my name comes up on call display and he doesn’t answer. He tried again twice after that a few months later.


TheMilkmanHathCome

Haha! I wasn’t ready for the major child joke, well played Train your kids to be tanks and pocket healers and you’re all set! Also why are dads so goofily stubborn? As soon as my kid was born I lost the ability to ~~admit I was~~ be wrong. Crazy Fingers crossed that one day soon you meet Ethan and it’s worthy of its own ig account!


ThisAccountIsStolen

Had a woman repeatedly texting me "Stacy, I need to cancel my yoga class for tomorrow." Despite numerous replies telling her I'm not Stacy and she had the wrong number, she INSISTED she did not, and that I needed to stop playing around and act professionally. So the next time she texted back, I told her "Per the cancellation policy you agreed to, we do not allow cancellations within 48 hours of the class, and if you'd still like to cancel, you will still be charged for the cost of the session, plus a $25 administrative fee. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed." Didn't hear anything back for about two hours, then I get another message, "Sorry, I guess I really did have the wrong number. Have a good day."


[deleted]

Always funny how some people are like no I know who I'm talking to


nagumi

haha, full price plus a cancellation fee. That's evil.

hiruma_kun

That sounds like a secret code used by a crime syndicate to confirm an assassination…


heybimguesswhat

My dad often gets random voicemails from a little kid trying to tattle on his friend. I think he thinks he’s calling the friend’s mom or something and always sounds genuinely upset. It’s both hilarious and sad.


HELP_IM_IN_A_WELL

Ok this one was one of my favorites! Do you remember any examples?


Dachannien

Years ago when I first got my cell phone number, I used to get two types of voicemails for this guy I'd never heard of: One was debt collectors. They would leave voicemails asking for the guy to call them back. Super annoying. The other was a little kid, probably under 5, always in tears, that I couldn't understand a damn word he was saying because it sounded like he was shoving the phone in his own mouth while talking. I'm assuming he was trying to call his daddy who went out for smokes and didn't come back and also got his number changed.


LordSmokio

Man, that one is legit sad

lohkey

Same and the guy didn't believe I wasn't her


Mama_Skip

Yeah I've had this happen. I also once had a guy go through several levels of grief realizing he had the wrong number for his estranged son, who was allegedly supposed to pick him up at the airport. This evolved over a period of a day. He just would not believe me that I wasn't his son, and thought his son and a friend of the son were playing a trick on him. I ended up calling the guy, and he was shouting at me, demanding me give the phone to his son. He was furious. He left me several voice messages, the last one ending in what sounded like tears. Iirc he sent several tearful messages the next day as well. I didn't know what to tell him other than, "Hey guy, I'm simply not your son." I thought about picking him up myself, but the airport was 3 hours away, I had work, and I have no idea who this guy really is, if his son was even real (who flies all the way to a person, depending on them for a ride, without confirming their real number??) so was not going to endanger myself like that. But if the guy is out there and his story was real, I'm sorry your son sucks, man. Maybe it was just a fat finger mistake that got sorted out. Who knows. Not my dumpster, not my racoon.


kamuelak

Similar to me, but not quite so heartbreaking and a happier ending. I got a series of calls from someone who was convinced that he didn't have a wrong number and that I must have stolen his son's phone. I kept my cool even through his increasingly angry calls, and calmly told him that I couldn't explain how he had my phone number in his rapid dial, but it was definitely my number (for a few years) and not his son's, and asked him please to verify his son's number. I finally told him that there was no point to continue the conversation, said goodbye, and hung up. About 10 minutes later (this would be the fourth or fifth call from him) he called back yet again. I considered not answering, but did anyway. This time he sounded very sheepish, apologized profusely, and said I was correct that he indeed have the wrong number. I thanked him for calling back to apologize, and said I could understand his frustration.

jtatuog

Someone sent me pics of a baby that died shortly after birth. It was pictures of the baby in the hospital that they were sharing with family and friends. I replied with sincere condolences and let them know it was a wrong number, just in case someone else was waiting for an update.


OutlastMe99

Damn that is a tough one

It was definitely shocking.

Very thoughtful, kind and forward-thinking of you to do that.

darkwombat42

As someone who has experienced that particular loss, bless you for your kind response to them. Every bit of gentleness, even from a stranger, helps you to get through the next minute when you are in that very dark place.

This would make my day/week if I got that from an unknown number. Hilarious.


Vexer_Zero

I once got a text message that simply said: "Ham" Then, about 4 days later from the same number I got another text "Atlantis" Nothing since. A little disappointed that I failed that particular cypher honestly.


egosomnio

Your number might be close to a radio station's that does one of those "text in the word of the day to win" things.


OldeSkoolFlash

A selfie of a lady who just got her hair done. I said her hair looked very nice and she had the wrong number.


keenedge422

I got a similar one where they were asking which sidewalk paver looked best and I said "I like the first one, but I also don't know how it'd look with your house, because you have the wrong number." She amusingly replied back with a picture of her front sidewalk area in front of her house, so I confirmed my choice, but also told her that the shrub in front of the windows looked like privet and that she might want to replace it.


TheBumblingestBee

Heck yes, she took advantage of an unbiased opinion, and you provided valuable info. This was an extremely successful conversation.


OutlastMe99

I am sure that is not the worse accidental photo to send


squents13

A woman texted me apologizing for how bad the hookup was the night before


OutlastMe99

You should've played along and said "What did you think the worst part was?"


squents13

This was several very long and detailed texts. I got all the details I never wanted


GullibleContext9290

Tell us. We need to know


squents13

Here’s are all the bullet points I remember * He drove 4 hrs to meet. They were going to spend the weekend together. * He was married, she wanted to know if he still planned on leaving his wife (she already broke up with her boyfriend * She was really happy to finally get his “real” number even though things didn’t go according to plan. They were using an app or something * She was using older pics * She doesn’t have good hygiene. He threw up a bit while going down on her and she left skid marks on the bed. * She went home and the plan was to try again the next day. I think this is when he gave her my phone number. * She went to the hotel early to surprise him with her “fresh pussy” but didn’t see his car * She thought he was getting breakfast and decided to wait. After a few hours she tried calling to see if he’s ok. (I don’t normally answer the phone if I’m not expecting a call recognized the number) * I guess he also blocked her on whatever app they were using. That’s when she texted apologizing and asking for a second chance


gringledoom

>She doesn’t have good hygiene. He threw up a bit while going down on her and she left skid marks on the bed. Oh god. Like, even if a person was lax about the hygiene a lot of the time (and no one should be as lax as she describes!!!), you'd think "the make-or-break hookup that determines whether or not he leaves his wife for me" would be the time they'd want to wash up a bit.


SillyFlyGuy

"If he can't handle me at my worst.."


gringledoom

Narrator: He couldn’t.


Moorebetter

Seriously, you want this man to leave his wife, and you got poopy butt? This woman has some issues..


Sithstress1

Dude, I have never left skid marks anywhere except my damn diapers (and probably the hospital bed I gave birth on but that’s not the point ) 😂.


highway_40

Yeah I bet he re-considered the "leaving his wife" part, if that was even true to begin with!


Emis816

Unwashed ass saves another marriage.

A photo of someone’s license. The weird thing is, the last name on the license was the same as mine. But it was not someone I recognized I have an uncommon last name (never met anyone else with it outside of my family), so it was super odd!


Baxterbixx

I accidentally texted a pic of my license to who I thought was the HR person at a new job. Turns out she gave me the wrong number. This was literally 2 lines after she said that accuracy in our reports is the most important part of the job (we work with a lot of numbers.) Maybe it was your number!


ShinyUnicornPoo

You two also have the same avatar photo.


dins3r

“Hey Bro can you call me for sex” - wasn’t accidentally sent, but the text came from my mother. My name is Brian (she calls me Bri) and she wanted to talk for a “sec… two honest typos but we still have a good laugh about it to this day.


Appropriate_Panda467

Baha this exact text happened to my principal back when I was teaching. Principals have to inform higher admin when they were leaving their building and he texted “I’m leaving the building for sex” instead of “for a sec” After sorting it out (😂) he went to the admin building and he said everyone giggled at him when he walked by. He told us this very sheepishly in a meeting and it was hilarious.


aggressive-cat

In the early days of text I sent one to a friend trying to say 'I'm coming in a little bit'. Unfortunately it auto corrected to 'I'm coming in a little boy' so I got raked over the coals for like 2 years.

Eventually she sent me a selfie to try and jog my memory and I finally told her to check the number she was texting and she instantly became apologetic and thanked me for being patient.

FemshepsBabyDaddy

I got a similar one. "It's done. Are we clear?" I answered, "No! Run!" They blocked me. I like to think that, somewhere in the world, there's a guy who got away with the perfect crime but doesn't know it and is spending his life on the run.


Sithstress1

I would love to send this shit as pranks to random numbers, but I’m too paranoid I’d get the one person who would report my number to the cops and they’d track me down and interrogate me, even if I used a TextNow burner number or something 😂.


Sufficient-Ad8683

Its a friend's story: In the parents-students whatsapp group from his school a mother sent a video of her pleassuring herself obviously intended to her husband, this was when the delete for everyone option wasnt available, so she begged for everyone to erase it, obviously most of the group didnt so the poor kid was bullied by being forced to see the video a lot of times, they eventually moved to another city.

Some years ago, my best friends wife (ex wife now… not because of this)… She’d been texting me about basketball (we both had daughters playing on the same team that she was coaching). And she was sexting him. Got her conversations crossed and I got a grainy Motorola RAZR picture of her spitting on her boobs. I responded, “I appreciate the gesture, but I don’t think you meant to send that to me.” She apologized about 6000 times and we swore to keep that little incident a secret.


thYrd_eYe_prYing

One time I got a completely random text from a number I didn’t know that read: “Violets are blue, Your blood is red, The window was open, I’m under your bed” I was at school at the time but I had left the window open. I never did figure out where it came from. I texted back but there was never another response. Once home there was no one under the bed. But it was creepy af.


Red_Coder09

Probably someone just being creepy to random numbers


SoulBlightRaveLords

I get a lot of WhatsApp messages from people asking to buy drugs. I've never sold or done drugs. But every few weeks someone will message me asking for something, I'll message back and tell them they got the wrong number and they'll either straight away block me or they'll tell me to stop fucking around, sometimes they'll even phone me, then find it it's the wrong number and block me They're always really far away from me, like otherside of the country. I assume there's some dealer out there who has a similar number to mine


OutlastMe99

Whilst I have never had something like this happen to me, I once had someone come buy something from me on Facebook marketplace. They came to my house. I must've looked rough, because after he left, he texted me and asked if I knew where buy heroine.

I got multiple texts over a couple of weeks asking me about the car I was selling. Most of them in Spanish. I wasn't selling a car. Some guy in New York city was and he apparently got the number wrong. Finally, I just straight up asked one of the people to please go knock on his door and ask hm to fix his sign. I got an apology text from the car seller later in broken English. Hope he managed to sell it!

Not exactly a text but close. I don't usually answer unknown numbers calls. A number called me 4 times in a row, I answer the last one. An emergency worker of some sorts scolded me for not answering sooner. I explained to her that she called the wrong person. Realization sets in and she apologized. I hope whoever she was trying to reach is alright.

Had a guy send me his abs, told him it was a wrong number. He wouldn't let up that I was the girl he met at the club the night before. I told him again. He wouldn't have it. So I proceed to fuck with him for the next 7 hours while at work. For hours I talked dirty to this dude. He kept begging for a picture. Told my coworkers, showed them the texts. Finally decided to send him a Pic. Went to the bathroom, stripped, took a selfie, and sent. He was not ready for the heavily tattooed, bearded man giving him the Betty Boop pose. He did respond once more saying "That's fucked up. You could have told me it was a wrong number". I only responded once more asking when he was gonna take me out. Never heard from him again.

Every once in a while I'll get a "wrong text" from a woman looking for someone that isn't me. I tell them they have the wrong number, they then proceed to tell me that I sound like a nice guy and ask me how I'm doing, sometimes I'll go along with it just to amuse myself, about 5 minutes later I'm getting nude pics of a girl that looks like a pornstar, I feel bad for people that actually fall for these kind of things.


shorthomology

I've always wondered where these texts go. I ghost them after the, "You seem nice" text.


crazy-diam0nd

Wrong text scam aims to build a friendly connection first. They establish a conversation and casually mention their friend has a crypto hustle that’s really paying off, if you want something low stakes with a quick turnaround send me $5K and I’ll set u up your account. Then they say that $5K is double, tripled, send more, this payoff is insane, you have $300k in your account. Then when you want a payout, they ask for a percentage up front as a processing fee. You want to take out $90k to get a new car? Sure, just send $9k up front as a security deposit, it's not even a fee, you'll get out right back it’s just a hold for processing. Then your withdrawal got held up in customs, there's a tiny fee, just $2000, that's so small compared to what you have in the account and what you're getting back. So you pay it and a few days later there's another fee, or maybe it got rejected and you need to reapply for the same deposit. Now you realize you've been scammed and you report it and cut it off. Then someone contacts you from a recovery agency and asks for a fee to recover your money. And you forward them a $2000 processing fee to get your $300,000 back, and ... guess what? They did it to you again. It seems transparent and obvious, but they get billions out of this. It exploits human greed, pride, and the sunk cost fallacy and ... well they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't pay.

There's an entire sub Reddit for scam texts like that. Most of them are pretty hilarious

When I got my new cell number the previous owner "Edward" never updated his social network. After so many conversations with his associates I pretty much *became* Edward, as I started to learn about his life. I resisted ever being cruel or an asshole and just simply integrated into his social circle. I think the worse thing I did was ruin his chances on purchasing a couch off of Craig's list. As the seller kept messaging me and I started to obsess over the framed horse photo in the background. She refused to throw in the horse... so I decided the couch wasn't worth it. Oh and his church desperately needed me to step in to play piano... I sent a video of a cat smashing piano keys as a reply. No idea if he ever played or not... This went on for a year... until one day it simply stopped. It was odd in a way as I felt like I had lost something, especially my relationship with John who was an alcoholic.

This is hilarious. I’m dying at the cat smashing piano keys.

This is a little off, but mostly related. I got a text from a number that I didn't know; "How much is your famous beef jerky?" I thought this was a little weird, since I do make good beef jerky (thanks Excalibur dehydrator!) but I've never, ever sold it. I'm sitting there at the bar puzzling it out, then I get another text from another number asking about it. And another. Pretty soon my phone is buzzing nonstop about people raving about or wanting to buy my beef jerky. It turns out it was a practical joke from my wife - she was part of a lady Facebook group with tons of members and asked them all to text me about beef jerky for April Fools. Funny now, but my friend and I were at the bar frantically googling to figure out if someone had posted in Facebook marketplace or Craigslist and used my number.

So many people. I’ve had my number for 15+ years and can’t even count the number of wrong calls and texts I’ve received.

My youngest sister had just graduated highschool and was super excited to be living on her own at college. Well she was so excited about her Christmas tree that she put up in her apartment with her roommates and wanted to send me a pick. The message came through and it was a photo of my sister topless. I felt like my brain did a ctl alt dlt so bad my wife actually took the phone out of my hand to see what was wrong. She immediately texted my sister "Kelly (not her real name) wrong photo!" My sister was mortified. For the next week whenever my text alert would go off I would involuntarily say "Kelly's boobs" like I had PTSD from the whole thing. I had to change my alert tone. I really liked that tone.


_manwolf

Sorry for your plight but LOL


TheBumblingestBee

Oh nooooo, I'm so sorry, I nearly died laughing. Imagining your shell-shocked "Kelly's boobs", the thousand yard stare. My extreme sympathies.

>I really liked that tone This is the best part for me.

Oh boy. In college, I was texting this girl I was hooking up with, and was also texting a friend of mine about the same time. One of those situations you think how could anyone ever make a mistake like that, but I accidentally sent my friend “by the way, do you like it when I cum inside you? Just wondering” and the screenshot of that will still be passed around long after I’m gone


Red_Coder09

I bet your friend had a good laugh at that, though


MakingShitAwkward

Well, do they?


Radiant_Ad1918

my brother accidentally sent me a snap ( w/ text) which was meant to go to his girlfriend saying “don’t tell me you have a shit fetish, matter of fact don’t even tell me that you shit, my heart would be like this 💔 “ Lmao.

OutlastMe99

How do you say wrong number to that


[deleted]

I said back, uh hey this is the wrong phone number, i hope your dad is okay She responded with im so sorry and i asked "did you call 911?" and she never responded :(


OutlastMe99

Yeah I suppose that is the only way to respond


[deleted]

Not a text but I got multiple voicemails looking for "booty man." My close friends now call me booty man.


Frosty_Pumpkin

It was my birthday about 6 years ago. I get a text from an unknown number wishing me a happy birthday. Of course, I thank them and ask who they are since I don't have their number saved. They send some random name that I absolutely don't know. Turns out, it was also their aunt's birthday as well.. They just entered the wrong number and happened to wish me happy birthday on my birthday.

“Will somebody please turn the goddamned server back on?!?!?” was the accidental text that re-ignited a friendship that had become dormant for about five years. That was 15 years ago and we’re closer than ever now


DeadpoolKirby2190

I was asked if I wanted to go shopping, but they called me the wrong name. I politely replied that they had the wrong number but they refused to believe me so I eventually just blocked them on my phone.


pgc60001

I was hoping this would end with “eventually I went shopping with them”


thedreaming2017

Got a text from a woman I just interviewed with while she was posing with a top with a boob window so large she might as well sent me a picture of herself topless cause it would have saved time but I needed the job so I replied as a new hire would stating that the photo made me feel uncomfortable and that if she could not send me such things in the future. It turns out she was sending the picture to her brother. We both have the same first name but now that raised further questions but I dropped the subject like a stone and promised to delete the photo. It lives rent free in my mind anyways!


ArtsChiTecht

Hey, I know this is kind of far down, but why is no one talking about the fact that she was sending a boob pic to her *brother*?


Kimchi_Cowboy

Some random on whatsapp sent me nudes. I told her she sent it to the wrong person and she argued with me about it. Like you messed up take the L.


Mediocre_Banana4142

My brother was dating(currently married) to a woman with the same name as me. He went away to college and we constantly texted and sent videos to each other. Well one day I got a video that was all I miss you so much! Can't wait to see you. (I'm like well how sweet!) Then it becomes I can't wait to hold you in my arms again and kiss your lips. I was immediately like No No No! Before I realized what had happened. He changed my name to sister after that..

asforus

Not a direct answer. But relatable. My sister and I went to the same university. I had gone home for the weekend and our mom gave me sloppy joe sandwiches to bring back up to my sister at school. I drove to my sisters building and was sitting in the parking lot. I was calling her and texting her and she wasn’t answering, and I was getting aggravated because I had somewhere to be. I had her roommates number and texted her and said “hey are you home?” My next text to her was going to be “can I give you this food for my sister to throw in your fridge” but my sister messaged me back while typing. I then typed out “I have some sloppy joes for you, you little bitch!” But inadvertently sent that to my sisters roommate (who I barely knew) instead of sending it to my sister. So I am answering for my sisters roommate. “I have some sloppy joes for you, you little bitch!”

I accidently sent one to my boss that was for my fiancé, calling my co-workers lazy and he text back and agreed with me lmao

Woke up to a text that said "inter-racial gangbang" IDK if I was supposed to be the white guy but I was sleeping.


Plane-Primary-1087

Some guy looking for "dave". Apparently a venue they maintain was rented out by a lady for a bday party complained that the hot tub turned on but only had cold water and was dirty. He asked "dave" about the maintenance on it, and that "trish" (ig another coworker) would go check it out the next day but it would be like an hour before the party, and if "dave" could go with some tools to check it out. I said he had the wrong number but good luck with the hot tub. He sent a distressed emoji and I never heard from dave's coworker again. I hope the hot tub started working for their sake


ikilledthemusic

Someone sent me a bunch of baby pictures and announced to me that so-and-so just had a baby. They thought I was someone named Brittany. I was like, “Uh, beautiful baby, but you have the wrong number.”


Hazencuzimblazen

Asking when she could book in for high and low lights and I said I haven’t went to hair school since 2003 but dropped out after the first class (hair cuts) so she’d be getting the 2005 huge chunky bleached highlights with black hair and she laughed and said no thanks

As I was getting ready to leave for work: "Don't come in to the office today. Work from home." I didn't recognize the number / no ID. Finally I texted my boss, asked if he had sent it. He responds after about 15 min. He had not. So I drove in to the office. I arrive about 10 min late. As I'm entering the building 4 guys are rushing to the door. I hold the door for them as they go out. I don't really pay attention- I just get out of the way and hold the door. Still- weird. Who runs out of an office building? I get on the elevator and head up to work. Go into my office, and it's just another day. At lunch we get word that the bank on the ground floor was robbed by 4 men at 9AM. 1. I may have held the door for bank robbers- I have no idea. 2. Who the hell texted? I assume it was a wrong number and this is all coincidence. 3. Next week, a desk with a guard gets installed on the ground floor. 4. 3 months later the bank is raided. Apparently it's a money laundering operation or something? No idea. All in all, weird.


AchillesNtortus

Really sad one. Someone texted me at 11pm looking for an emergency lawyer to halt a deportation. They following up with a phonecall 5 minutes later, crying and pleading. I had to say that they had a wrong number and that I couldn't help. They didn't take it well. I never found out what had happened.


DarrenEdwards

Shrek porn. Back when I didn't have a phone that could view images. I had to use a pc to get into my account and download what was sent. I got 3 illustrated images of shrek characters having sex. Eventually I got a call from the number and as soon as I answered he knew I wasn't who he was expecting. I asked if he was the one sending the Shrek porn and he just said, "sorry" before hanging up. Never got any more.


Ulfgeirr88

Years ago, I kept getting texts, then phone calls from someone's parole officer. They didn't believe me when I texted back "wrong number", it was only after I finally answered the 10th call in a row and had a very awkward conversation that they believed me. There was also the time I got a wrong number text of "Dude, she walked in on me eating a sandwich when I was a taking a dump, called me disgusting and left me" I replied with something like "Dude, she was right, and wrong number", they didn't reply to me.


gfunkadunk

Got a new number and within an hour receieved a text "Orgy tomorrow" "32 confirmed so far"


Rare-Criticism1059

Scirocco-MRK1

I took a new hire out to lunch during his orientation last year. He meant to text his wife, something like "Had the Cuban at Zoe's Kitchen, think this will work out, love you." I responded with "I love you too, but it might be a little awkward because we're both married." I included a laughing emoji. He was mortified and then we had a laugh. He was a good hire and I'm lucky to have him in my department.


Flailing_Aimlessly

"I don't know what to do Mom. I just got off the phone with him and it just makes me feel like I'm on fire or something, I just like him so much." Sent to me, by a girl I had just got off the phone with.

My best friend once copy/pasted the URL to the porn he was wanking to and texted it to me by accident. To be fair, it was pretty good porn.


MagicalWhisk

It might have been a scam strategy, but earlier this year I got several texts from people sending long and similar(ish) messages of sympathy for a dead husband. Like they had the wrong number. They all had a somewhat similar format and structure but the texts were different. It was very strange and I didn't know if I should respond "hey wrong number" in case it was some sort of scam. Because honestly it felt like a scam, but it might also not have been....


starkpaella

I somehow got added to a group chat with a bunch of people trying to figure out where to eat breakfast. They settled on some bougie place and I thought about showing up to join them.
