There are few things in life that will make your stomach drop faster than realizing you just sent a saucy, eggplant emoji-laden text message to the wrong person.
How do you recover from something like this? Do you apologize, try to explain the mishap or just pretend it never happened and go into permanent hiding?

my (at the time closeted) step brother sent my mom a picture of a penis, she freaked out, he said the cell company must have crossed its wires bc he had sent a pic of a puppy. and then the genius part, he doubled down and re-sent the penis to prove something was wrong.

I told the guy that sold me my car that I loved him and I hate it when he works weekends. I told my wife thanks for dropping the paperwork in the mail.

I once sexted my friend, Rachel (instead of my wife, Rachel) and she responded, "I think this was meant for a different Rachel, but am happy to know that two people I love so dearly still take this much pleasure in each other after all their time together."
