The lack of face-to-face contact when texting can lower some folks' inhibitions (and, presumably, IQ) to such an extent that now everyone has probably had at least one encounter with someone who decided to message something that really should have been a draft.

So we’ve collected some of the weirdest, most awkward and embarrassing texts people have received and decided to share. Be warned, a very major dose of cringe incoming.

#32 Why Am I So Awkward?

For some context, I met this [intimacy] TikTok. She’s an artist with a solid following, and honestly, her work is incredible. Somehow, I ended up in her DMs, and we started chatting. From the little we’ve talked, she comes across as incredibly smart and genuinely kind, just one of those rare people with a heart of gold.

Now, I usually have no problem talking to people. I’m not the shy type, and starting conversations has never really been an issue for me. But for some reason, with her, I just end up feeling like some half-baked fanboy living in his mama’s basement. To make things worse, she mentioned she was tired, and there I was, still trying to keep the conversation going like a fool who didn’t get the hint.

#42 Accidentally Sent A Message Saying I Wasn’t Planning To Invite Someone… To That Exact Person. How Bad Is This?

I’m part of a friend group, but there’s one person whose energy has always felt a bit off with me. It’s not an outright conflict, but she tends to get a bit exclusive within the group - like inviting everyone else and not me, or just generally making it clear I’m not really “in.”

Recently, she posted pictures of the group and didn’t include me at all, but included a stick-figure drawing of someone who wasn’t even there, which honestly made it feel even more intentional.

So now I have my PhD defense coming up, and I’ve been deciding who to invite. I didn’t really plan to invite her because we’re not close, and I want the day to feel comfortable.

This morning, I was texting another friend about invites and said something like: “wasn’t planning to invite her, will send now I guess.” And accidentally sent it to her.

She saw it.

#43 HR Accidentally Sent Everyone A “Termination Notice”- Including The CEO

So our HR team was testing a new offboarding automation tool that sends templated “exit” emails. Someone forgot to switch from test mode to live mode.

This morning, 300 employees (including leadership) got an email that started with:
“Your last working day is effective immediately.”

Slack went crazy. One manager replied, “Should I start packing?” IT had to post an all-caps message saying: “NO ONE IS FIRED. PLEASE DO NOT TURN IN YOUR BADGES.”

I don’t think anyone’s getting actual work done today.
