Mine’s a speech to text to the right people with one misinterpreted word. I was on my way to a party and tried to send, “I’m bringing Veuve.” As in the champagne. Nope…all 13 people in the group text got, “I’m bringing lube.” Needless to say, about half were disappointed when I showed up with champagne, and I still haven’t lived this down.

Back in 2016 I debugged a situation with TextNow where if you just added a contact to your list, every number you’d message would be off by one in the index.

Once TextNow read my bug report, they quickly fixed it and emailed me back like 4:20am saying they fixed it, and to clear my cache and update the app.

I sent a very sexually explicit text meant for my girlfriend to my mom. Don’t do that friends, always double triple check your sexy messages

I accidentally set a sexually explicit in message meant for my wife to my realtor - we were all standing together so I asked him to just delete the most recent message from me and he did so. I am much more careful now.

If he didn’t that’s up to him. If he felt embarrassed or uncomfortable by that message after refusing to delete the message that’s on him. I don’t really give a shit for my feelings - I just didn’t want to make him uncomfortable.

My husband accidentally sent a text with the word masturbate in it to our group chat with his sisters. That was uncomfortable.

Similar story, though I was intending to send something kinda inappropriate to someone. I almost sent it to my mum because common contacts pop up when doing a share, so I pressed my mum, but then while moving my finger down I realised my mistake, and just did the best save I could. My finger remained pressed down on screen, essentially holding down the “share with mum” button, while I came up with the solution to hold down the power button until the phone restarted. Halfway through the bootup process, I realised I probably could have just pressed the power button so my phone would go to sleep instead and that would have fixed the issue.

If you’re pressing a button and want to cancel you can pretty much universally just move off the button before releasing the press and it won’t trigger the action. Works 99% of the time with a mouse, almost as often with a touch interface. Some custom-coded buttons will action on start press (not great imo) and some buttons do some other action on a long press, but if you’re holding it and nothing else has happened just dragging off is safe enough.

onmouseup vs onmousedown on click settings. Early days of computers/programs were less forgiving when you clicked it started the action

Pretty tame, but I once texted “i love you” to my then gf (now wife), but accidentally sent it to my boss, who was riding in the car with me.
