i think perhaps the worst thing that can happen when you’re texting is to text the wrong person. granted, this isn’t always a bad situation, but i’m talking about when you text someone about someone but that someone is the one you accidentally sent it to because that someone was the one on the brain, but you didn’t want that someone to get that text because it was about them and meant for another someone.
for example: once i was going on a date. (once? ok that made me sound way pathetic. i've been on more than one date in my life, for the record ☺) this one time i was going on a date… (does that sound any better? ahh well) anyway. i texted my friend sarah ( so i thought ) saying, “aww… he's taking me to a chick flick, how adorable is that?! :D” turns out i sent the message to my date… and he wrote back with a, “i’d say that’s about a 6 on the adorable scale… ;) ” wow. luckily we were dating at the time and after a simple explanation it turned funny… but sometimes it doesn’t always turn out that way.
such as: at the beginning of the school year i was kind of dating someone and one day while we were texting, i was also texting my friend meagan, conveniently about said boy. it was coming to the end of things with me and this boy, and i accidentally sent a message to the boy about the boy that said something that wasn’t meant for him to hear, but rather for meg to read and analyze for me. (oh the complications of the female mind. one day we’ll learn to just talk to the boy about the problem up front without getting other girls involved… someday.) luckily he didn’t get too mad, but it definitely ended things quicker than they might have ended otherwise. if that makes sense.
i suppose some of us are more prone to it than others. i know a girl named mary that is notorious for sending texts to the wrong people, and others who haven’t done it ever in their life. as for me, it hasn’t happened in a while, but occasionally i'll have a dumb blonde moment (ok, i get those a lot actually…) and fail at texting the right person.
i don’t have a clever ending to this post. so: the end.
