Texting Disasters....

[El Presidente]

Have you ever sent a text to the wrong person? maybe a blistering e-mail but realised you accidentally "replied all" including (unintentionally) the recipient of the tirade?

Why are there not warnings on bottles of wine stating "Alcohol and digital communication do not mix?"

is there a breathalizer invented yet that you can connect to your phone or laptop!!!! Why Not!!!! Smithy....start working on one and you will make a fortune!!!

........not that I am admitting anything

Funny you bring up this topic... I just sent a "Reply All" email from my phone unknowingly... responding to a "not so friendly" email. Needless to say, I had a plethora of phone calls to make afterwards to... this happens when your response is meant for two and reaches "All".

Lessons learned... watch the buttons you push when upset.

Been there done that Rob. Thank god I dont drink anymore...at least I'm not a mean drunk...which is good for me!

I've seen this happen a lot in a professional office environment. We've had clients send us incredibly sensitive info because of a wrong button pressed on an email.

On a personal note, I'm a terrible drunk dialer and texter. So much so I purposely don't put certain peoples numbers in my phone to avoid any embarrassing indiscretions

Yep, here it is, the iBreathalyzer. Just attach it to your iPhone/Pad/Pod. Though it doesn't stop you from texting whilst drunk. For that you will need to download Textalyzer from iTunes.

Ahhh, texting... The adult equivalent of passing notes in school. Love it!

Some of my favs (and there are many) include:

(859): The best part about drinking boxed wine is you can blow up the bag and use it as a pillow

(402): Let the vodka take you where it will. Like Pocahontas, but wasted

(541): We should discuss this later when sobriety has returned. Right now he's just like a distant cousin.

(315): So i just bought beer on a credit card, using a fake ID, while wearing my nametag from work. All 3 have different names on them. God i love my boobs.

I had the misfortune of meaning to send an.. um ...*explict*.... text to my girlfriend and instead sending it to the ex.... (they shared the same first letter).

I realised it.... just as i hit send

Never has the cancel button been hit so many times before.... still too late... lol

Wasn't me but my friends fiancé texted my fiancé (girlfriend at the time) a congratulatory message when I notified her that I was going to propose that weekend. That message was meant for me.

Luckily, the message was vague enough that my future wife couldn't exactly make it out but she told me she assumed it was going to happen after that message and wasn't as surprised as I would have liked.

My team performed really well one day in work were we outperformed every other team in the region.

To gloat i sent a picture of me with my shirt off and tie round my head with the caption "you want some of this?!" to the other managers in my section. I ended up sending it to the wrong distribution group and everybody in the company seen it... HR, CEO, CFO, the janitor you name it they seen it.

I may actually still have said pic on my phone...

I know someone that works at a Tech company and was on his laptop during a meeting. The presenter was doing his thing when my friend thought he was internally messaging another colleague with the message "This guy is a f%&$ing idiot." Turned out he clicked on the conference messaging function and his little message showed up on the presenters screen for everyone see. . .

Why are there not warnings on bottles of wine stating "Alcohol and digital communication do not mix?"

What have you not learnt anything???? Warning labels????? Hell man this is how plain packaging started.

Someone woke up one morning after a big night out on the turps and smoking a couple of packets of cigarettes and then coughed up a lung and said, "there needs to be warning labels on those cigarette packets!"

That story sounds very similar to your drunk texting situation. Warning label you should be ashamed for mentioning it.
