Back in the day, dialing the wrong number was never really a big deal. You’d call, quickly discern by the person’s voice you’d got the wrong number, and that was that. Nowadays, however, it’s a totally different ballgame.

Most people like to communicate through texts these days. While that’s great and all, it puts an entirely different spin on the situation when you text the wrong number. You’re now opening yourself up to the billions of pranksters and bored trollers out there, and for those of us that get to read them, it is absolutely hysterical!

Here are 20 epically hilarious text-backs to people that got the wrong number.

1. Always check those digits

First rule of talking about drugs on the phone: DON’T DO IT! The second rule is that if you are going to break the first rule, do yourself a favor and double-check you have the right number.

2. Can’t a grill catch a break?

Who on earth sends people random texts hoping to find somebody that wants to flirt? Bro, don’t you know there are about a zillion chat-rooms for that?

3. Best to wait for a response

For some reason, we feel like this might not be the first time this has happened to the guy. Maybe it’s because he leads his text messages with half-nude selfies from his computer chair?

4. Love expires quickly these days

Damn, we kind of feel bad for Ashley! Then again, we hope this dude is turned on by the Anchorman so she won’t have to deal with his BS in the future.

5. At least they were polite

What’s wrong with that adorable face? If this were Vikings, we’re sure he’d have a leading role. Oh well, their loss.

6. So cruel

What a horrible thing to do to that person. They were just trying to say thanks for the delicious cookie and now they’re going to spend the next two hours playing Sherlock Holmes over the phone with poison control. Takes the joy right out of the cookie.

7. It really was awkward

Anyone that says ‘hi’ more than once in the conversation is creepy, straight up. This person probably made the right move in backing out of the “relationship” that was starting to form.

8. ALWAYS check the number before making a confession

On the one hand, we feel terrible for Ashlee and the heatwave of embarrassment that’s surely overwhelming her. On the other hand, it probably totally made this stranger’s day as well as made him count his blessings.

9. You can lead a horse to water…

They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink. Well…you can tell them they have the wrong number, but you can’t make them believe.

10. Probably a good thing he text the wrong number

Not only did he avoid what would have been a pretty nasty confrontation, but he also got a guaranteed upgrade from his cheating girlfriend. We wonder if Kelsi knows he bought the lemon…

11. Now he’ll be up all night worrying about it

Unfortunately, ‘sorry’ won’t keep this poor, tight-nippled chap from scouring the pages of WebMD for signs of breast cancer in men. People should really think before they text.

12. No backpedaling here…

There’s nothing worse for some people than losing face in an argument and because of that, we get some of the most hilariously arrogant claims on the planet. This person wasn’t going to backpedal when they found out they text the wrong number. Instead, they just expanded their statement to include poor Andrew. Who knows, though? They could be right about him.

13. Sometimes expounding on things only makes it worse

Not only is it good to double-check the number you’re texting, but while you’re at it you should probably give your texts a quick proof-read, too. That would have avoided this whole mess of confusion, but it wouldn’t be as funny.

14. His poor goldfish

This poor guy is really having a terrible day. No one wants to lose their goldfish, and people with more conventional pets just don’t understand. The least he could have done was met up with him for a beer.

15. The doctor may be getting replaced soon

Did Hannah accidentally stumble onto her professional destiny?! Three minutes versus three hours could mean a lot of lives, after all.

16. D don’t know ish!

Since she had an objective outsider on the phone, she figured she might as well get their thought’s on her girl’s room. It’s a good thing she did, too, because that room DOES sound tight as hell! D don’t know nothin’!

17. He wasn’t interested in the upsell

Poor guy. He put his heart and soul into that goodnight text and got a cold rejection from Mario! We wonder if he still sold him the car…

18. Fool me once…

Why? If he has a third will you fall for it again? A word to the wise; if you want to get a girl’s number, don’t. Give them yours and if they want to, they’ll give you a call.

19. They’ll never look at Dani the same way again…

It’s good that he told her he was pulling her chain, but we’re sure that took out some of the rage this person had built up for Dani’s boyfriend. They’ll never be able to look at poor Dani the same ever again, though. The damage has been done.

20. Her account probably isn’t “safe” anymore…

This person pretty much deserves the response they got. What makes it so funny is that it’s so obviously true. We only hope that Matt has seen this so he can find someone who isn’t on GetLaid75.com. We’re sure he deserves better. ANYONE deserves better.

That wraps up our list of 20 epic wrong number texts. Hopefully, if you’ve learned anything, it’s that you should always make sure you’ve got the right number… and to assume that if a girl gives you a number it isn’t hers.
