Yeah...what you say. (Odd texts or messages you've seen)

We have a thread a guy started about his wife’s mysterious text.

I got one today…”get bun”

I discovered is was sent to me in error.

I asked the Lil’'wrekker what the heck it meant and just who was she sending it to.

It was a let’s put our stuff together and make sub sandwiches at her office, today. Someone went out to get a dressing. She was sending her a text to tell her they needed another package of sub buns.

It can be a problem if you are loosey goosey with who you’re texting.

“Get bun” yep, that made sense. Not! :expressionless_face:

Do you have any you’ve gotten in error or otherwise? That are funny.

“I have the worst feeling that I’ve just been feeding George Foreman to the bird this whole time”

Bird gotta eat sumthin’

Not me, but the funniest one I’ve heard of:

A man had a very strange dream. He wanted to remember it, so blearily texted to himself a few keywords from it. Something along the lines of “blue walrus in cellophane ocean and Amelia needs linoleum.” Or something equally psychedelic.

Only when he sent it to himself, he got one digit wrong in his phone number. So this poor person texted back “Who is this?”

Then later: WHO TF IS THIS?!!!

ROFL. Can you imagine the stress and confusion? It makes me chortle every time I think of it.

Today it snowed quite a bit in my area.

Someone on a local site posted a Facebook message that said, “How Roads?”

First response was,""Road bad.”

Not exactly odd but it did make me chuckle.

That is hilarious!

So, I sent my wife a kinda funny message, that no, i didnt really want her to quit work early. She replied- Darts!

(drats!)

My cousin used to run a bed and breakfast and used texting to confirm reservations.

Some guy made a reservation for a one night stay.

My cousin texted back a confirmation that read:

“Your one night stand is confirmed for (date).”

She blames it on auto correct.

My oldest granddaughter when she first got her phone text me first, “Hay”

So I text back “…is for horses”

We laughed so hard.

Now every now and then I get “hay” from her. So of course I answer.

It’s a fun thing

I was doing some handyman work, that included painting, for a woman I didn’t know.

I finished the construction part of it and was texting her to let her know I would be over later to finish the painting. Except it came out:

“I’ll be over to finish the panties later”

My phone will transcribe my voicemail messages into texts and send them to me. The strangest by far made me actually listen to the actual voicemail. It was random sounds, not a voice but got transcribed as

“Dead dead dead. Yes. Thursday dead dead dead dead dead. bap bap bap”

That’s just creepy.

You got a call from the president?

That’s a great story.

I can understand why people back in the day eliminated some wording in expensive telegrams/cables.

Today’s social media posters are sometimes a bit … lazy. :rofl:

Bet you had some explaining to do with that one!

To make it worse, I didn’t notice it right away. Yes, I had to make a big apology. To her credit, and my relief, she took it well.

Thanks for sharing that. What an embarrassing but funny story!

I believe my cousin had to make a similar apology to the “one night stand” customer at the bed and breakfast.

“I love you so much!” from a *girl from my hometown. I knew it had to be a mistake as her son and I had the same first name, and she had accidentally selected mine, so I didn’t respond.

*“Girl” meaning she was a couple of years behind me in school.

A friend who had been recently widowed was using her late husband’s phone because hers was acting up. For a short time we were receiving texts that appeared to come from the recently-deceased Bob.

She was visiting family in Texas when we received this text from “Bob”:

“It’s really hot down here.”

mmm
