Mrs BGG's sister received a very explicit message to her phone from her boyfriend.
Except he sent it to Mrs BGG instead.
He then rung Mrs BGG immediately and said in a state of panic "OMG, don't read it, please, I sent it in error".
Mrs BGG calmy said "Too late. My phone displays a text message as soon as it received".
Long silence on the other end.
She then laughed and said, no worries, I'm not offended.
The poor chap was beside himself though with embarrassment.
So I copied the message, had it printed on a pink T-shirt, and presented him with his new apparel next time I met him.
Oh how we laughed at his expense !

Mobiles are a potential trap. Wonder how many people have sent text re meeting to a lover and sent it to spouse by mistake? Or those times when a phone is chucked down and it presses the green button and recalls? The person called hears everything going on and the owner has no idea.
PS Ruddy BT itemised calls are bad enough. Ahem.

Though reminds me of when a friend had their phone borrowed. They bluetoothed a rude answer messaage onto phone : then call him on packed train.
He was so nervous he dropped the phone and could not pick it up. Half the train lloked cross : half the train were laughing.
When he finally answered the caller said "Have you turned red?"!

I think it's time you bought a new polyester tie. It's not good to wear the same one every day.

Nightmare meeting.....
Was showing that blue postman pat mobile vid to someone earlier.
Got a call - mobile on silent. However, phone had a major technical problem and started to play the sound for the vid.
Middle of a key project meeting, out comes 'Fecking miaow, fecking kidz, that fecking Ebay'..........
Jeffing phone would not silence or turn off, the os had frozen.
Thanknfully most either had no idea about this meaning (Indian guys) or found it fairly entertaining!!Tags: None
