Have you ever sent a message to someone by accident when you intended it to go to someone else. I did that on Saturday night, I was expressing my undying love for someone (well not really, but still) and it went to my friend. I was very confused the next morning when a mate texted back. Thankfully I tend to send crazy stuff to people so he was used to it.

And have you got any close friends next to people you wouldn't want to text. I.e your girlfriend's name is next to "mum"?

[Sexi_chel]

I'm lucky i have never done it as my mum and dads numbers are not saved

It happens some time but its never been too embarrassing although say you want a cocktail but predictive text doesn't get it then you end up doing like 2 words merged predictively like analtail :|

My brother's name is next to someone I send the occasionally dirty text to in my phonebook, I triple check every single time. There are some things I would imagine a guy doesn't want to know about his little sister.

I sent a text about someone to the person I was talking about, then sent one afterwards to the same person saying "sh*t" so I think they know I made a big mistake but they might have made nothing of it.

Best reminds me of the Lorraine Kelly/GMTV incident:

The editor of Lorraine Kelly's breakfast show has resigned after a furious row with the television presenter.

Benedetta Pinelli, editor of LK Today stepped down after realising she had accidentally sent Kelly a text message saying she was a nightmare to deal with and that she hated her.

Kelly, who hosts the show on GMTV, was shooting on location in Namibia on Sunday when she apparently fell out with Miss Pinelli over the work of Kelly's husband Steve Smith, a long-serving cameraman on the show.

The argument became heated when Miss Pinelli, an outspoken editor and GMTV's Head Of Lifestyle programming who has been on LK Today for just six months, criticised Steve, her husband of 12 years.

Feeling aggrieved and apparently humiliated, Miss Pinelli, decided to text her husband back in the UK to let off steam.

But it appears that Kelly was playing on her mind so much as she was writing the four-line text message that she mistakenly sent it to her instead.

The text is understood to have read: "My god, I have really got the hump. I have just had this massive bust up with LK. It happened today. She's a nightmare to work with. I hate her."

Same here, apart from it's not my brother, it's a friend who I've known from about the age of 2 and he's more like a brother, so I guess he'd be freaked out, too.

Reminds me of the 'drunken text appreciation society' or some such Facebook group, it actually makes for funny reading, unlike most Facebook groups.

I tend to text the most recently used people rather than scanning through my phonebook, although I almost sent a text to the wrong Andy today, as there are 3 in my phone. I also have a friend/slightly more than a friend whose name is a little too close to 'Dad' in the phonebook, so not one to confuse!

[Bumble_85]

My ex's name used to be next to my Dad's. That was worrying. So then I changed it to Boy and he ended up next to my brother's name. In the end I gave up and just text... not such a great idea

[pinky2]

Thankfully this has never happened to me!

Although I do have two friends that are 'together' Nicky and Nick so I have to watch that one a bit cloesly especially if they have a row and both end up texting me to let off steam

[midnight]

I dont have family members too close to other people in my phone but I do have two Richards so always have to check that one beore I send a message.

[sebdevlin]

That could end quite badly I would think

Booze and phones should never mix really as they are an accident waiting to happen. I'm prone to ramble when drunk and so either send off random txts (simpsons quotes usually) or just utter filth to the girlfriend. As I have three hannah in my phone this can get quite problematic when a bit jarred.

Hehe, when I get more than one person with the same name, I give them nick names - I renamed one peter 'Connie D' which was an old nickname of his when he was a child.

i do that but i still make mistakes haha

[Chaos]

I've been known to drunknely call and text people on the phone. Once I texted a girl who I didn't really know very well, asking her to marry me...strange, we've not spoken since...:hahaha:

I think I meant it as a joke though...

[Grace]

Or for one of your sexy texts to him to end up in my inbox.

They wouldn't end up in your box though would they, so to speak

One of my best friends nicknames is "Jona" and if you put that into a predictive text it comes up with "Knob". I've always got to be careful with that...

Also (thanks to predictive text) I also sent "Hello Heavier" which was meant to say "Hello Heather". That was also a difficult thing to explain.

Ive had that one sent to me a few times.

[DaNNiP15]

well try putting danni into predictive text!

[pinky2]

:giggle: the things i find funny!

[Lucinda]

I've had 'queue' come out as 'Steve' a few times. "I'm in a massive Steve..."

I find that if I give people nicknames in my phonebook, I tend to forget who they are. I have some people in the phonebook with a Z in front of their name so that I don't accidentally call or text them, for example ex's, ex-teachers, other random people to whom it would be difficult to explain a mistaken message.
