75 of the worst wrong number texts ever

It’s easy enough to just ignore a wrong number text, but what fun would that be? Then again, there are messages accidentally received that really do need to make their way to the original recipient.

Wrong number messages are so common there’s an entire subreddit and Twitter hashtag for them (simply #wrongnumber).

Scroll through to see 75 of the weirdest, wackiest wrong number texts out there and how the recipients responded.

And if you’re sensitive to profanity, this one might not be for you – people get awfully angry when they find out they’re being messed with (or that girl at the bar gave them the wrong number).

1. Girl, dump him

Sometimes, a wrong number can provide you with just the support you’re looking for.

We don’t know Ryan’s side of the story, but he doesn’t seem like much of a talker anyway.

2. “Accidentally”

Poor dude. Not only did his date have a completely different idea of how their evening went, she blocked him on Tinder ADN gave him the wrong number.

Whatever happened to just telling someone you don’t think it’ll work out?

3. Big pimpin’

We’re not sure what kissing like a porn star means – we didn’t think there was much kissing in porn – but we’re sorry this person has to miss out on it.

At least they were a good sport when they found out they had the wrong number.

4. But we’re still on for cuddling, right?

Oh, man, that’s cold. This recipient decided to play around with their wrong number texter for a while.

Even the first photo didn’t manage to convince him he wasn’t talking to Nicole though.

But some teenage boy had a great time playing around with a lonely heart. After all, he just wants to cuddle.

5. Nicely handled

It seems like a bad idea to inform someone in a text message that an immediate family member has died. But the brash text makes it seem like they weren’t too broken up about it.

However, they do seem pretty annoyed about the response they got.

Oh, NOW we’re going to be sensitive?

6. Delete my number

We don’t think this guy has to worry about the recipient ever texting back, so “delete my number” is pretty funny

I doesn’t sound like Sally was their soulmate anyway since the texter were perfectly content to move on with whoever they happened to be texting.

7. Ladies night fail

There’s nothing like a single girls marg night.

But it looks like Ashley is going to be sucking down those cocktails on her own if she doesn’t update her contacts.

8. You owe me child support

We suspect co-parenting isn’t going to go well for this woman.

This is really no way to deliver the news about having a child on the way.

And, no offense, but her willingness to bring up money before anything else would make us want a paternity test before shelling out any cash.

9. Say what?

What are “tight nipples”? Is “tight” slang or are we missing some new beauty craze?

At least this wrong text came with an apology for the whole nipple scare.

10. Paging Dr. Google

We do not feel good about the inability of doctors to simply research a procedure.

But we do find it pretty hilarious that this doctor texted back.

Just remind us to find a different orthopedic surgeon when we need one.

11. But we cater

Well someone’s Thanksgiving plans were saved thanks to the thoughtful employess of Qdoba.

At least they had the decency to text back so this person could get their plans in order.

What good is Thanksgiving without the sweet potatoes?!

12. Just in case

Has a relationship ever started this way? Why are people still trying to make this work?

Sorry, white shirt.

13. On point

If you’ve managed to find 200 gay men to go bar hopping with, chances are no one is looking at your clothing, honey.

Still, you do want to dress you best no matter which 200 people you’re casually hanging out with.

14. Move straight to the breakup

Wow, a text breakup. How classy.

Guess he’ll just have to spend all that effort cutting and pasting this into another text. Or maybe she gave him the wrong number to begin with because she didn’t want a relationship.

15. Perfect strangers

We just love this story. When a group of guys was accidentally added to a group text regarding someone’s newborn, they played along for a bit – and then they offered to come bring presents.

And they showed up!

It certainly charmed this new mom.

16. It’s ugly

A wig is an interesting gift.

But putting that aside, we’re surprised the texter had a sense of humor after her accidental contact called it ugly.

Wear_Out_Your_eyes/Reddit Source: Wear_Out_Your_eyes/Reddit

17. I’m not gonna threaten you, but…

You have to read these in numbered order – and we swear we’re not the ones who ordered them that way!

We’re just impressed that this person announced their impeccable self-control before completely losing it.

Isn’t it the fiance’s fault if she can’t be faithful?

18. Oh, c’mon man!

We just hope this guy is close to 18, otherwise he’s a total creep.

Either way, it looks like Jenna dodged a bullet by giving him the wrong number.

19. This cat loves you back

Don’t you have the number of the person you love reliably programmed into your phone?

At least they caught on with good humor to the cat’s replies.

Reddit Source: Reddit

20. That dog though

Frankly, we’d take this guy up on meeting his dog.

Now we want to know how the texter responded!

sigep_coach/Reddit Source: sigep_coach/Reddit

21. Meh, whenever

Anthony seems like a pretty lenient boss if he would let those first few comments slide without handing down some discpline.

Do you think he caught on after the photo or thought his employee was drunk?

22. We hope Kelli is ok

Your first call should be to 911, THEN you can ask Kelli if that’s her house.

Here’s hoping that Kelli wasn’t traveling when she got the real message – that would have been stressful!

23. Dueling photos

Sometimes the only way to let someone know they have the wrong number is with photographic proof.

At least this good-natured couple was kind enough to congratulate the new grad.

larzipanS/Reddit Source: larzipanS/Reddit

24. Everybody’s trash

Co-parenting can be difficult. At least this accidental recipient was understanding about the texter’s frustration.

Interesting how they assumed it was a woman though.

nat13896/Reddit Source: nat13896/Reddit

25. Not Jessica

Yeah, that’s definitely not Jessica. But we like that the texter thought they’d get a reply if they corrected the spelling of the name.

It appears not to be “Jesica” either.

26. Kid approved

We’re not sure which we love more, the fact that this dad had all of his kids approve the dress or that they stored this number in their phone under “no idea.”

Either way, we’re still wondering which dress she chose.

@bbmandi/Twitter Source: @bbmandi/Twitter

27. Tony

I guess Tony’s test text with just his name wasn’t a real test since he just kept trying to make it work.

We hope he enjoyed his photo response. We sure did!

28. Precious Caitlin

Those suburban cul-de-sac moms are straight up nasty.

Do moms really say “my precious” like Gollum from Lord of the Rings? Weird.

@noahforchange/Twitter Source: @noahforchange/Twitter

29. But wait, there’s more

Damn, Brittney, that was a low move. Now that we have the whole story we understand a bit better.

But that’s still no reason to ban mom from the undoubtedly horrible cul-de-sac barbecue. At least now we know what everyone will be talking about over the grill.

@noahforchange/Twitter Source: @noahforchange/Twitter

30. My bad

Do people realize how silly they look once they get their behavior mirrored back to them? We kind of doubt it.

Apparently there are people out there who enjoy these kinds of selfies. But we doubt this accidental texter enjoyed the response.

Pinterest Source: Pinterest

31. Reminder to self or order?

We guess Bart’s not getting a birthday party this year.

But it’s not his fault – blame the messenger on this one.

@echo_mint/Twitter Source: @echo_mint/Twitter

32. Playing along

We love this moment of shared pop culture. If you’ve never seen the State Farm commercials, you won’t get it.

But it’s worth a search just to see how clever these two are.

Bored Panda Source: Bored Panda

33. Really?

It clearly doesn’t take much to “trick” this person.

That meme is the perfect response to a truly bizarre text.

How do you not know the number you JUST DIALED?

itonmyface/Reddit Source: itonmyface/Reddit

34. Uh, happy birthday?

That sounds like a terrible birthday present. What kind of disrespect warrants a physical assault?

We’re pretty glad we don’t have to deal with this ultra “classy” texter.

@ssteffieeee/Twitter Source: @ssteffieeee/Twitter

35. Thanks for that

UGH. The worst kind of fake text is the one that forces you into a phone conversation you’re not ready for.

We think this texter owes their accidental recipient a big apology.

36. Dammit, Janet

Don’t make her tip over the barbecue next time you’re being rude.

This must be one heck of a pie recipe.

Can we have it too?

@jaskeating/Twitter Source: @jaskeating/Twitter

37. Awkward apology

Wow, this girl found a way to make her apology even more awkward by telling a complete stranger about her incontinence issues.

On the bright side, this is the kind of acidental text that goes down in history and you’re obligated to show all of your friends.

Bored Panda Source: Bored Panda

38. Deep and meaningful

There’s really no need to text someone unless you have something to say.

Or maybe this accidental texter only knowns words that begin with “h.”

Bored Panda Source: Bored Panda

39. Adios!

It’s all in good fun and this one definitely made us laugh.

We just wish we could see the rest of the exchange because it looks pretty funny.

@antijenic/Twitter Source: @antijenic/Twitter

40. Whoa, slow down

That’s a bit too much to pay for a car. Not money-wise, of course. Just, you know, cuddle-wise.

Eduar2013 Source: Eduar2013

41. Wrong dog number

We laughed when we saw how this person stored a wrong number in their phone.

You know, just in case they want to see Bailey again. And don’t we all?

@sampasser/Twitter Source: @sampasser/Twitter

42. Oh, Cananda

Well, Edith is definitely not coming.

We just hope the real Edith gets as much of a kick out of this bizarre text exchange as we did.

Only Canadians could be so understanding about a crass message.

@LLinds15/Twitter Source: @LLinds15/Twitter

43. Freedom

Excellent response.

Now we just want to know if they made it to the movies together.

Bored Panda Source: Bored Panda

44. Joe Mama

Mom jokes are always funny. But do you think the hotel realized they were texting the wrong person or did they just assume they had a really obnoxious guest?

It really could go either way.

@notorious_n_i_c/Twitter Source: @notorious_n_i_c/Twitter

45. Wrong Dorothy

Maybe she meant Dorothy from The Golden Girls.

In any case, this has to be one of the best accidental text responses ever.

SoloIsGodly/Reddit Source: SoloIsGodly/Reddit

46. I’m telling my mom

To be fair, this looks like a phishing scheme anyway.

And how do you manage to get that many diacritic marks into your text message?

At the very least, this is a good lesson about never including your face in a shot until you know who is going to see it.

@THE_Morgann/Twitter Source: @THE_Morgann/Twitter

47. See you at the gym

You know this is a true friend because even while he didn’t program in the right phone number, only a pal could call you all those names in good fun.

And we hope his friend made it to the gym too – sounds like he needs it.

@Kizdickinson/Twitter Source: @Kizdickinson/Twitter

48. Celebrating Sandy

We’re not sure what Sandy did to deserve the kudos, but she is, indeed, lucky to have friends.

Heck, she even has supportive strangers!

49. Bad hair day

Yeah, you’re definitely going to want to text a stylist.

Then again, it would be so much better if this texter showed up to get one of those haircuts.

We’re voting for the first one.

Bored Panda Source: Bored Panda

50. Dammit, Tina

Apparently, Tina did not want to be “hit up.”

But why are all these women giving out fake phone numbers?

Granted, they lead to some great exchanges, but don’t they know they’re just making things awkward and convenient for others?

coakhead/Reddit Source: coakhead/Reddit

51. No, not you!

A picture is way better than a response in this case.

But this guy looks like a hoot – maybe give him a chance!

thewertle/Imgur Source: thewertle/Imgur

52. But is it a joke?

All that’s missing is a real, physical address to take this prank to the next level.

Guess plans didn’t work out too well that night. Or maybe it was an awesome party – we’ll never know.

Isagoras413/Reddit Source: Isagoras413/Reddit

53. Yikes

We’d be sending back all the packages we received for the next few months after trying this trick.

Sounds like someone has watched one too many crime shows.

54. Paging Doctor Angel

We’re not gonna lie – we lol’d at this one.

Best not to self-test the catheter – although empathy does make better doctors.

55. Cookie monster

Oh, now that’s mean.

Can’t a person just enjoy a cookie in peace without thinking they’re going to die?

There’s already enough guilt in junk food.

56. Photo duel

We’re not sure what to make of this one other than that it’s hilarious.

We just want to know where it went from here and how the original texter responded to this guy’s photo.

g1133123/Reddit Source: g1133123/Reddit

57. Copycats

We’re a big fan of these photo replies. They’re not mean, just a hilarious way to let someone know they have the wrong number.

Then again, you do have to be careful not to match your face to your phone number for strangers.

58. Ice cream Thanksgiving

Who brings ice cream sandwiches to Thanksgiving?

Don’t get us wrong, they’re delicious, they’re just…untraditional.

But since they had the wrong number anyway, it sounds like those ice cream sandwiches will be a surprise.

Do you think they’ll bring the turkey too?

@luckett_z/Twitter Source: @luckett_z/Twitter

59. Now who’s immature?!

Wow, well, it sounds like Yejin has some maturity issues – and a great manicure if it cost as much as a PS4!

@gcfvkv/Twitter Source: @gcfvkv/Twitter

60. Long live the Queen

Queen is a pretty great nickname, so we’d want that guy to stick around too.

Guess the textee will just have to upgrade her next boyfriend.

cookieeatshobo/Imgur Source: cookieeatshobo/Imgur

61. Got your back

We’re not sure what an ass-stomping is, precisely, but we imagine it hurts.

It’s never a good idea to threaten violence over text, but at least this accidental recipient showed some solidarity.

@korndiddy/Twitter Source: @korndiddy/Twitter

62. Poor Cameron

We imagine these are brothers. Who else would tell you to lock the door because they’re too lazy to get up or threaten to tell on you for smoking even though you weren’t?

We have to admit, these two are pretty creative with their threats.

Can’t he have more respect for someone in goldfish mourning?

64. Rat breeder

That’s a weird first text no matter what you’re trying to accomplish.

We just love the reaction of the accidental recipient while he or she is trying to figure out what these rats are being used for.

65. Wait, again?

How do you set your butthole on fire? TWICE? Don’t you learn the first time?

jd64097/Reddit Source: jd64097/Reddit

66. Futurama reference

Well, if you haven’t seen the brilliant show Futurama you’re missing out on the humor in this text.

In any case, we’d prefer any Spencer over Zapp Brannigan.

67. Healing begins with the right phone number

We wonder what Kaylee did that was so immature. We just hope she does reach out if she needs to.

68. How not to meet women

That is, indeed, ridiculously creepy. How bad to you have to be at meeting people if you just resort to texting random numbers hoping to find a mate?

The worst part is when he acts like it’s destiny that brought them together.

@Cow/Twitter Source: @Cow/Twitter

69. The kid is not my son

How strange would it be to receive a random photo text on your phone of a mom and newborn still in the hospital?

Would you feel compelled to take a good look and make sure you didn’t know her if you were a guy?

We just hope she doesn’t take the joke too seriously and call him, maybe.

@meimessaging/Twitter Source: @meimessaging/Twitter

70. Very wrong number

Well that’s some seriously bad luck.

Then again, if someone has already told you you have the wrong number, why would you admit and to an illegal activity?

FOREM4N/Reddit Source: FOREM4N/Reddit

71. That’s cold

Oh, man, now that’s just mean.

Notice the time difference between the two messages – this person waited until poor Melanie had only 45 minues left before her shift to tell her she had the wrong number.

72. Don’t insult the dog!

Hey, small dogs are dogs too!

There’s no need to take your frustration out on the poor pup.

73. Free grammar lesson

Yikes. Someone has some rage AND some grammar issues.

Luckily, they got one of them addressed by the person they accidentally texted. But we’re not sure how much good that did for the rage issues.

@oddeeii/Twitter Source: @oddeeii/Twitter

74. Someone’s husband has been a bad boy

At least a teenage boy got a good laugh out of all this because this couple sure isn’t having a great time.

We don’t blame the accidental texter for forgetting the birthday of someone their husband is cheating with – as long as she forgets his too. After all, he’s the one breaking the vows.

PeterBazingriffin/Reddit Source: PeterBazingriffin/Reddit

75. Can I put this on Reddit?

And this is how we get such hilarious fodder.

Thanks to this person for saying yes to putting it on Reddit so we can all enjoy this and so many other #wrongnumber texts.
