When you are married to a man named “Jonathan” and you have other “Jonathan’s” in your Google chat box, you MIGHT want to prepare yourself that you MAY send a message beginning with “Honey” and ending with “Could you pick up some dinner on the way home?” to a Jonathan THAT IS NOT YOUR HUSBAND.
Luckily, the “Other Jonathan” found the humor in it all.
Considering that he is married to Christopher’s CUB SCOUT DEN MOTHER and lives up the street, I’m just grateful that it wasn’t a lustful IM full of boobie and penis emoticon’s because THEN I would have to relocate to some remote hovel in Syberia and spend my days raking coal under the alias “Svetlana”.

So am I suppose to pick up dinner and Christopher?
Hahahaha, my wife’s gonna get a kick out of it!

DUDE. I once sent a “provocative” text to my EX BOYFRIEND “JON” who was right next to my husband “JONATHAN” in the phone. When he RESPONDED, I wanted to turn my car into oncoming traffic.

well, I can empathize. We use MSN messenger in the office to communicate to the upstairs and downstairs without using the phone intercom, and one day I intended to comment to the boss about a situation that was happening but I messengered the comment to the person I was commenting about. Oh dear ….. Good thing this person wass able to handle the criticism or it might have been a throw down.

me…. picking up the phone in a sexy voice after looking at the caller ID and seeing my hubby’s work…
“Hey, baby! Wanna come home for a little sweet lovin and cheesecake?”
silence on the other end……
“Uh…. this is (not my hubby) uh……..uh…………Erin?”
this happened a long time ago, but I still blush from it!

Um, how is it that I just found out about your blog? Because, you, are hilarious.

@Rhi
I’ve had to threaten people with torture to keep it hush-hush.
Apparently, it isn’t working.
Now I’m going to have to make good on my threat because once word leaks out that a pirate has gone soft people begin to disobey, and then it’s nothing but work, work, work, all the time.

Well, it makes me think about the time, about 2 weeks after I had started at my current job. We were laughing about some strange Spanish word (mercifully my mind has been wiped clean) and I googled the word and sent the website to my boss.
Moments later I heard laughter coming from his office.
Apparently, unbeknownst to me, there was a picture of an erect penis on the page.
To say I was mortified is an understatement.
So, it could be worse….

Oh my, I’ve done this with a text message before. It was a dirty one that I meant to send to my husband, and get this–I accidentally sent it to my dad. I almost died from embarassment.

My new life lesson from today?
When the person standing next to you at the bustop tells you that the homeless guy behind you is trying to pee on your shoes, don’t turn around. Why? You’ll be greeted to a whole eye full of penis and yes, said guy actually is trying to pee on you.
Take that as you will.

She Likes Purple says:
I did this in college — I was talking to two people, a friend and a guy I was sort of seeing but mostly just confused by. I sent to the “guy” a message intended for my friend that said something along the lines of, “I’m just confused. Does he like me? Does he not? Does he just want to get laid? WHAT DOES HE WANT?” Awkward!

I accidentally texted a guy-friend that “My boobs are sore”—I meant to send it to my husband. He texted back: “Okay. Sorry to hear that???”
