Many of us have experienced the unfortunate situation of sending a message to the wrong person by mistake. And if fate isn’t on your side, you’ll end up sending the most inappropriate text, or worse yet, a very incriminating photo! While many people accidentally send texts to the wrong recipient all the time, there are also those who intentionally send “accidental texts.” It’s a sneaky way of getting your message across. Here are 40 accidental texts that were totally sent on purpose.

Dear Crush

It’s crazy how people get all nervous and worked up in front of their crushes. Despite their eagerness for the relationship to move beyond infatuation, they often struggle to find the right words to ask their crush out so that they might be able to take things to the next level.

Grandfathers Can Be the Perfect Wingmen for Their Grandsons

It would make for an interesting tale if a young man’s grandfather played the role of a wingman, assisting him in charming a girl and convincing her to go on a date with him. But get this: this guy is using his “recently deceased grandpa” to strike up a conversation with a lovely lady.

Great Ways To Express Your Love

Breakups can be emotionally devastating, particularly if you still harbor strong feelings for your former partner, as coping with a breakup varies greatly from person to person. Some people move on without a care in the world, while others get hung up in the past, unable to forget about their ex.

The Accidental Games

Presumably, you have seen The Hunger Games, the 2012 science fiction action movie featuring Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth. The movie was a big hit and paved the way for three sequels. These people appear to be passionate admirers of the film and coincidentally discovered the site where one of its scenes was filmed.

What’s more, the girl is even wearing the same color as the actress. They deserve an A for effort, but an F for “coincidence.”

Good Son, Bad Son

Observing someone being kind to their parents is always appealing, as it demonstrates their empathy, gratitude, and compassion. So, to use an accidental text to pretend to be a good son makes this situation even worse!

Having received no response from this woman on several occasions, he eventually messaged her stating that he had deposited $2800 into his mother’s account to “assist her.” Unfortunately, it looks like this fake flex isn’t impressing anyone.

A Revolutionary Idea

The popular Snapchat app has a highly useful feature, which notifies users when someone has taken a screenshot of their story. This feature assists girls in identifying the “creeps” among their acquaintances. Seems like this guy has come up with the best idea for getting away with taking screenshots.

According to his narrative, the application is malfunctioning and capturing screenshots of people’s stories. If only it were as simple as he claims.

You Just Did It, Bro

Confessing your feelings to a girl can make any man anxious, regardless of how self-assured or robust he may seem. It involves finding the right words, selecting the right time and place, and also speaking from the heart. When they are in each other’s company, his heart is overflowing with the urge to express his feelings, yet his lips remain tightly sealed.

Luckily, this guy has given a major hack for this situation to all men. He invites the girl to come over, but while she is on her way, he mistakenly sends her a text message intended for his friend.

Really Sista?

Sneezing is an involuntary action that causes people to make incredibly amusing faces If only there were a photograph captured each time someone sneezed, there would be an abundance of comical pictures available. The woman in the photo sent a text claiming to have taken a candid photo of herself sneezing, and it doesn’t seem credible.

We cannot see her closed eyes and flared nostrils in the photo. Furthermore, she attempts to pass it off as an unintentional picture sent in an accidental message.

Well, How Sweet

Love has the power to make a person act irrational. Occasionally, a person falls deeply in love with someone else but may not express their feelings right away. But the people around him know, and can tell that he is lovestruck.

That's Just Sweet

Conveying your affection to someone can be challenging, which is why this individual discovered the most effective and seemingly “unintentional” method of doing so. This is one accidental text that’s actually very sweet and heartfelt.

10 Minutes Apart

If you happen to receive an unintended text message, there are certain things that can aid you in interpreting its actual intent. For starters, an accidental text is not an accidental text if the person sends it to you twice, on different platforms. This is particularly true if the message pertains to their second anniversary gift, accompanied by a note indicating that the sender’s ex has received a new ring to replace the previous one.

To top it off, both texts were sent 10 minutes apart. If that isn’t fishy, we don’t know what is.

Cliché Describes These Moves Perfectly

How many more times are people going to pretend that their cousin or little brother asked their crush out as a prank? This is a timeless phenomenon that never seems to lose its allure. Unfortunately, it did not work out for our friend in this instance. You should be comfortable with someone before you decide to ask them out.

Rather than resorting to an “unintended” text, it would be better to be upfront about one’s feelings. Taking responsibility for one’s emotions could potentially lead to a change in the situation, as the recipient may value honesty and reconsider their stance.

Sorry, Ex

It’s sweet to text your boyfriend all the time and let them know every single detail of your day. But this lady is the queen of savagery if she did this after breaking up with him. Sure, you can try to pass off the text as an accidental one.

Sorry, Ex

However, it’s blatantly evident that you want to rub your ex’s nose in the fact that you’ve moved on and are on your fifth date with “this amazing man”. Congrats, you’ve won the breakup.

This “Accidental” Photograph is Remarkably Detailed

The woods are a fascinating and enchanting location, abundant with lush greenery, hundreds of trees, and a diverse range of wildlife. Wherever your gaze falls, you’ll definitely see a bird, or a dozen, flying around or perched on the tall, thick trees.

Hacking Invitations Like an Expert

Event organizers understand the significance of having a large turnout. However, simply inviting everyone you know may not always lead to success, as many individuals may overlook the invitation if it fails to capture their attention.

Crumbling Slowly

Telling someone you love them is considered to be a really big deal today, where people stay in relationships without using the L-word even once. Therefore, it’s heartwarming to see some individuals still sticking to traditional ways of expressing their love by confessing it when asking someone out.

This girl showed great confidence by asking the guy out, but it dwindled when he responded with a “I’ll think about it”. She used a classic “accidental text” to throw her sister under the bus and remove some of the embarrassment.

The Cousin Strikes Again

Accidental texts sent on purpose can lead to a variety of surprising and unexpected messages. In this never-ending chasm, cousins and little siblings often bear the brunt, as they are mostly blamed for asking someone out, or abusing someone from a person’s phone. The Cousin Strikes Again

This text demonstrates a crafty method of attacking someone you dislike and then using your cousin as a shield to conceal your true intentions, quite clever.

She Does Chores Too?

In today’s world of high-tech smartphones with advanced security features like fingerprint and facial recognition, it’s surprising to see how easy it is for someone’s sibling or cousin to send a weird text message to someone using their phone.

She Does Chores Too?

This is exactly what’s happening here. The girl is trying to get the boy to express if he likes her or not, by sending a text which, seemingly, her sister wrote.

Can’t Get Away With Them

Despite the plethora of icebreakers and conversation starters available, some men still believe that sending unsolicited explicit pictures is an appropriate way to initiate a romantic relationship. Thankfully, girls have become wary of this now and can see it coming from a mile away.

Therefore, the girl noticed that the guy quickly deleted the unsolicited revealing picture he sent her and then followed it up with a casual “Hey, what are you doing?” message. At least he came clean about it later, but it’s still never cool.

Friends Are The Worst

True friends are those who support you in both good times and bad times, while best friends are the ones who take you on new and exciting adventures every time you hang out together. This poor girl was made to text a guy on Snapchat, asking if he’d go out with her.

Please Grow Up, Dude

Tinder is a dating platform to connect like-minded people to help them strike up conversations, which may lead to a date or a long-term relationship. However, like every other platform, there are quite a lot of creeps on there as well.

Apparently, this “gentleman” thought it was simply natural to ask the lady he connected with the “size of her clothing”. Appalled, the woman decided to school him, leading him to throw his hypothetical drunk buddy under the bus.

Loneliness In Isolation

Living in isolation can have varying effects on individuals. While some may view this time spent at home as a chance to be productive or acquire new abilities, others may have different responses. However, for others this is just a time to get their creep game on.

This desperate guy “accidentally” sent an inappropriate video to his former co-worker, followed by asking her not to watch it, as it wasn’t for her. After she appears calm, he hints for her to watch it.

So Many Mistakes

Using unintentional messages to flirt is a popular tactic that many people use nowadays. However, if it is repeatedly done, it can backfire. Not all girls are as gullible as you believe them to be.

This guy complimented a girl who doesn’t know him that well, and pretended to be drunk-texting. Either the girl is extremely courteous, or is succumbing to his flirtatious behavior.

End Of The Convo

An End of the World party is an event typically hosted by college students with the intention of having an unforgettable time, as if there is no tomorrow. Lots of crazy things can go down in such parties. On occasion, the phrase is also utilized to describe celebrations held in honor of the completion of university semesters.

Even though this guy claims to be at such a party, and his phone wasn’t on him, the fact is more disturbing than it is fun.

At Least She’s Honest

As a single girl, you likely receive numerous requests for dates from various guys. It’s possible that you’ve unintentionally given the wrong impression to some guys due to the way they interpret your text messages. It’s nothing that you do; many guys have just never learned how to respect a woman. The best thing to do is to be completely honest so that you can keep away from the confusion.

This woman is executing the art of conversation flawlessly, but unfortunately, the guy lacks the skill to steer the dialogue effectively.

You Certainly Did Not Intend to Write “Dog”

We have all experienced situations in life where we know what we want to say, but end up saying something completely different. If you get lucky, the other person manages to understand what you’re actually trying to convey.

You Definitely Didn't Mean 'Dog'
You Definitely Didn’t Mean ‘Dog’

Nonetheless, sending an “accidental text” that contradicts your intended message and meaning, like our friend in the text above, you will get shot down brutally.

Such A Nice Brother

Brotherhood is a unique bond that is shared between two men who grow together and go through the various stages of life. Not all brothers love each other the same way but, rest assured, they always have each other’s backs.

Nonetheless, it seems highly unlikely that this guy is attempting to arrange an online relationship between his brother and an “e girl”. It appears to be just another guy trying to save face after being rejected.

Do You Keep Your Phone Unlocked at All Times?

Even if siblings are very close, it is rare for them to leave their phones unlocked for one another to snoop through personal messages, or send inappropriate texts to others. But the internet is full of people claiming that their brother or sister took the phone and texted a person.

Is Your Phone Always Unlocked?

However, it’s easy to know if the person is lying about their phone being compromised. This is particularly true when the conversation revolves around “pictures of a certain kind”.

Great Cell Reception in The Grave

At some point in time, most people have received disturbing or “spooky” messages, designed to scare them. These types of messages are often created by mischievous friends or coworkers, particularly if they are aware that you are easily frightened. If you are not frightened by such messages, it can be quite annoying to those who sent them.

This is the first instance of a guy sending a spooky message, but the recipient responded with a simple “No”. In response, the sender has nothing else to say, except that his friend was the one playing the prank.

Busted!

Since the implementation of lockdown measures worldwide, educational institutions have turned to online classes utilizing platforms such as Zoom, Google Classroom, and many others. Since this is a new challenge for students and teachers alike, there have been many amusing moments in the classes. During this class, one of the students posted a rather “interesting” comment regarding the lecture.

The Teacher Saw This

When he was informed that the teacher could see it, he tried to casually deflect it and pretend it was for someone else.

He’s Such A Sweet Guy

Blind dates are suitably named because you typically have very little knowledge about the other person, and anything can happen during the time you spend together. Most people are set up to go on a date by mutual friends, who are the saviors of lonely people. These are the same friends who are eager to hear every detail about the date.

He's Such A Sweet Guy

In this scenario, a girl is sharing with her friend about her blind date and how she had no idea the guy wore braces. All she is doing is telling the guy there won’t be a second date.

What A Save

Individuals frequently make a fool of themselves when their crush or loved one is present. They struggle to think clearly, and it appears as though their body is in disarray. This also happens when you try to talk to your crush, or even text them.

What we’re seeing in this image is a miraculous save, and nothing less. Fortunately for her, the guy reciprocates her feelings, so she has no reason to be concerned.

Way To Begin The Conversation

If you’re enthusiastic about speaking with someone, you don’t typically wait for the other person to text first, right? However, this particular guy is taking things to another level, attempting to steer the conversation in his favor. He probably thinks initiating contact makes one look weak, but he is willing to straighten things out.

Maybe his first text was “accidentally sent” to this girl, so this is why he states that he’s surprised to receive her text. The girl is more astute than him and saw through his unintentional initial message. She promptly moved on, saying “Thank you, next!”

Accidental Or Not?

Here’s another instance of a deliberate text disguised as an accident. It can be challenging to confess your feelings to a guy, especially if you’re afraid of rejection. However, you have to take the leap and just do it.

Accidental Or Not?
Accidental Or Not?

Just like our friend here, you can let your crush know how much you’re into him but making up a story of how you were texting your friend. Using this trick often yields positive results.

Off Guard on ‘On Filter’?

While scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, you must’ve come across pictures of people who caption them with “#candid” or “#justwokeup.” In essence, they want to showcase that they always look good, even when caught off guard in an unexpected moment. Off Guard on 'On Filter'?

Off Guard on ‘On Filter’?

However, in this photo, there’s no way that the girl’s mom opened the camera, put on all these filters, and took her photo while she was putting on makeup. A camera that can capture behind-the-scenes action would be a great invention.

A Shocking Twist

Growing up, it’s likely you’ve watched movies that have taken a dramatic turn leaving you in shock and gasping for air. Well, most people see it coming and aren’t even surprised. This is something that can be seen in this text. This guy asked a girl out via text and got shot down.

As expected, the guy resorted to a classic move frequently used by men, claiming that he was only joking.

A ‘Simple’ Mistake

Many modern-day artists like to put their work on social media to get feedback and appreciation from their friends and followers. Posting their artwork on social media platforms allows artists to showcase their talent to a wider audience, and receive feedback and appreciation from others. This not only boosts their confidence, but also provides them with motivation to continue creating and sharing their work.

Moreover, seeing the work of other talented artists on social media can also inspire them and encourage them to explore new techniques and styles. However, this gentleman took it a step further, by copying someone’s work and signing it with their own name. He claims he’s wrongly accused, but is busted due to his signature.

Really, Really Smooth

A close friends list is an exclusive list of people whom a person holds closest to their heart. The individual has full authority to decide whom they want to add or remove from their list, based on their level of friendship. Which is why it seems quite desperate if someone would ask you to “add them to the list”.

Really, Really Smooth

In this instance, we observe an individual trying to persuade someone to add them to their close friends list. When all their attempts fail, they have nothing to do except call it an accidental text.

Inappropriate Pics – A Big No!

There are various ways to woo women to get them to go out with you, but sending inappropriate pictures to show them “what they’re missing” is not cool at all, not to mention potentially breaking the law. A genuine gentleman would never engage in such behavior, and the unfortunate lady might have to delete or dispose of her phone now.

Inappropriate Pics - A Big No!
Inappropriate Pics – A Big No!

It’s difficult to convince someone to unsee an accidental picture or message, even if they claim they won’t. Definitely not the way to get her attention fellas.

A Car Deal Gone South

Some people have absolutely no filter, be it at work, in their personal lives, or anyplace else. They often find themselves in trouble because they’re not afraid to express their thoughts, especially when communicating with a woman while making a car deal, like this guy.

Not only did he insult the woman, he chose to hide behind the ruse of a “drunk friend” accidentally sending a message to get off easily.

He’s Exposed!

Girls get hundreds of inappropriate texts and images in their inboxes throughout their lives. While it can be very disturbing for women to receive such messages, many choose to get back at these men by taking a screenshot of the messages and sharing them publicly. This exposes guys who simply can’t control themselves and can serve as a warning to others.

He's Exposed!

This guy also makes the classic mistake of cowering behind a fictional “brother”. It’s lovely how she uses the long-nosed emojis to show she’s onto him.
