30 Painfully Awkward Wrong Number Texts That Spiralled Out Of Control

The pooping incident

Image Source/ reddit.comTo kick off this pathetic and hilarious list of awkward wrong number texts and responses, we have potentially the best one of them all. Starting with the ominous "I did it" message, I bet the receiver wish they'd never asked more about what "they" actually did! Disgusting!

#SaveTheMule

Image Source/ Twitter: @CristinaStasiaThis is kinds cute and endearing and you can't tell me otherwise. Vanessa was definitely playing some kind of joke on Joe when she passed Rebecca his number... the Mule Shoer. That, or she reckoned that Rebecca and Joe make a cute couple, who knows?!

Excuses, excuses, excuses...

Image Source/ Twitter: @NievesBrianaThis might have to be the most blatantly obvious (yet avoidant) let down text there's been yet. I bet Brina was glad that she wasn't the intended recipient of this text because she might have been very embarrassed to receive this many excuses to not meet up in one text!

Does this foot jog your memory?

Image Source/ Twitter: @CharlieLeMagnePublic announcement: will the intended recipient of this text please make themselves known. We just have to know what went down with this foot, and why you would find it so recognisable. Also, what's with the bone covering the phone number. Odd emoji!

Going after George...

Image Source/ Twitter: @ryanggomezRight who's in? It seems like George might be making up some lies this Christmas about working on the holy day, so looks like we might have to pay a visit to his place of work. What do you think? Ryan thought he was just having a bit of fun but now he's very involved.

Flunking the text

Image Source/ Twitter: @chloeeexo14I think it's safe to say that the sender probably flunked this exam! Or, Chloe is actually the world's best guesser. But to be fair, how did she make the answers so believable? The sender had no idea that this wasn't the right person to be sending texts to.

The expensive valet...

Image Source/ Twitter: @Trevor_jackson7Well, this is unfortunate. Is it just me that is desperate to know the origin of this story. How on earth did you manage that one Clarissa? And yes, you definitely need to pay for the valeting service, I bet it stunk the car out afterwards. Poor Devin.

Sexy priest

Image Source/ Twitter: @frsimonSeems like a case of being given the wrong number to me. Although, Father Simon really hit it off with his direct, yet amusing, reply. I bet the poor sender felt awful after receiving this text and never showed their face in church again. I wouldn't!

I guess pizza is off the cards then...

Image Source/ reddit.comListen Linda, how hard is it to understand that THIS IS NOT LINDA'S NUMBER. The poor recipient was trying to be polite and tell them that this is not Linda's number, but of course they are definitely down for the pizza. The sender wasn't having any of it.

Lee's famous mac n cheese

Image Source/ reddit.com: NolongermrsI think after reading these humorous texts we're all wanting to try a bit of this famous mac n cheese Lee makes. Either that, or he really is the worst person at the "bring your own dish" party. Yes, agreed, I hope Lee was beaten for his insolence and selfishness.

Squashed phone

Image Source/ TwitterSome top notch banter here between a couple of cousins. I really hope the recipient responded but this one is too golden not to! I just can't understand why anyone would take a picture of a squash calling them, never mind actually send the photograph!

Double whammy

Image Source/ reddit.com: JerryBean-No, but why is this one so funny. The Joe Mama guy was definitely laughing behind the keyboard on this one, and even hit them with a double whammy later on. But more importantly, what on earth is that great big silver cylinder? Can we talk about this please!

The shrine to Shrek

Image Source/ reddit.com: gucciflipflopyeetWe've all heard of Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism, but have you heard of Shrekism? Shrek is of course our God and we should all worship, respect and pray to him as often as we can. Well, that's according to this Shrek stan group ring leader! No but seriously, how do I join?

The drunken love you text

wrong number text reading i still love you and the other person goes who is thisImage Source/ reddit.com: hangoverwithfriendsI'm afraid it looks like this person has changed their number, sorry about that! But honestly, I hope that the recipient definitely didn't know the sender or else that was probably a very awkward response after they confirmed their identity. Very awkward!

The group scammer

Image Source/ reddit.com: saltgabeFair play to this guy, I've never actually seen anyone respond to this group, scam type message. But he was not messing around and rightly so. Maybe he was a little bit butthurt that this lovely woman wasn't after just him, but many other people as well.

Hannah rejects frat dude

Image Source/ Twitter: @maleck_salehThis exchange of texts is so funny, and I bet Eugene was laughing over that last text. Who does this guy think he is? Apparently, he reckons he can get any girl he wants, even though they wouldn't even give him the right number. Well, that is embarrassing and awkward.

The butthole fire

Image Source/ reddit.com: ffsveraOkay Jake, we need to know. Either you've sat on a Bunsen burner one too many times, or, the fire that she mentions is actually just talking about some spicy tacos you ate the night before. Either way, we need to know how the hospital appointment went.

The pushy buyer

Image Source/ me.meDude should've definitely just took the money and gave them the cheapest, dead TV screen after the pure cheek of this buyer. They are literally telling you that you have the wrong number and you don't care! Can confirm that the customer is not always right.

Dinosaur penis bones... yeah

Image Source/ reddit.com: BeatenBrokenDamnedWho else wants to get their hands on some dinosaur penis bones? Because I definitely do. I don't think this person understands that penises don't actually contain bones, what do you think? I really would like to know what the recipient actually gave to them on Thursday, and why it took them nearly two weeks to respond.The April, November mishapImage Source/ reddit.com: ToedetteTo be fair to the recipient on this one, that was a pretty good text back. The poor woman, I bet she really did think that it was April, you could've at least told her it was the wrong number. Oh well, we love having a bit of fun every now and then, and it makes a great addition to the list.

The bodies in the basement yikes

Image Source/ reddit.com: eatingpopcornwithmjIt's safe to say that I think Nate definitely blocked "Jin" straight after this wrong number mishap. How scary! Unless... Nate really did have $18.5M in cash, and left it right where "Jin" asked. C'mon now, we really need to know what happened next here.

Grandpa beyond the grave

Image Source/ reddit.com: MooseJoose21Oh "Emily", you might've taken it a bit too far in this instance. Poor Grandpa Jim, I bet he thought he was losing his marbles when you said you thought he'd died. To be fair to you though, he definitely should've deleted your number after the first time.

Bring the chilli, bring the chilli, bring the chilli

Image Source/ me.meOkay guys, I'm not quite sure... do you think this person intends to bring the chilli to Andrew's house? I'm not sure he quite got that message across. How can you continue sending those texts when "Andrew" told you that you had the wrong number. Awkward fail.

So, what did the dog do?

Image Source/ reddit.com: DongaSoreAssWrecksI was getting whiplash with my emotions when I was reading these texts. First of all, who's dog is this? Second of all, where did she get the number from? Third of all, how can you not tell if a dog had pooped on the sofa and fourth of all, did she get in touch with the actual owner? Too many questions!

You start on Monday, don't be late

Image Source/ reddit.com: wait_whats_illegalSounds like this recipient has managed to bag themselves a job without even applying for it. Also, the sender had a fair point with that, they didn't get the wrong number, just the wrong person. But, honestly, how dumb can you be? Anyway, see you on Monday.

Something seems fishy

Image Source/ TwitterPriscilla, whoever you are, wherever you might be, head to your HR department right away... this is a case of bullying and you will not stand for it. There's nothing wrong with eating tuna every day and don't let this sour nut tell you otherwise, okay?

The start of a romance novel

Image Source/ bratsquad.tumblr.comThe question is, did they meet again in another life? Seriously though, this could be the start of the next great romance novel written by Stephanie Meyer or EL James. We need to know whether princess was united with her prince or not... we need answers now!

The cheese connoisseur

Image Source/ me.meNow this is a shout. Clearly this guy absolutely loved his friend's cheese at dinner time and had to pick up some of his own when he ran to the star. Kudos to him for realising he had the wrong number and asked for cheese recommendations anyway... we love to see it!

Hugs and kisses, Helen

Image Source/ Twitter: @noahforchangeListen Helen, Britney is just a child, get over yourself. Secondly, why not head over to Christi's house and deal with this face to face, or someone a little too cowardly. I hope Christi beat the hell out of Helen in a fight and held her own cul-de-sac barbecue.

Jared worms boy

Image Source/ me.meHow in the hell does someone acquire a name like Jared worms boy, and actually call themselves it too. He definitely didn't wanna give up any information about how the name came to be, but it seems that these two became close bros in just a few messages.
