75 of the worst wrong number texts ever

Itâs 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 thereâs 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 youâre sensitive to profanity, this one might not be for you â people get awfully angry when they find out theyâre 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 youâre looking for.
We donât know Ryanâs side of the story, but he doesnât seem like much of a talker anyway.

2. âAccidentallyâ
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 donât think itâll work out?

3. Big pimpinâ
Weâre not sure what kissing like a porn star means â we didnât think there was much kissing in porn â but weâre 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 weâre still on for cuddling, right?
Oh, man, thatâs cold. This recipient decided to play around with their wrong number texter for a while.
Even the first photo didnât manage to convince him he wasnât 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 werenât too broken up about it.
However, they do seem pretty annoyed about the response they got.
Oh, NOW weâre going to be sensitive?

6. Delete my number
We donât think this guy has to worry about the recipient ever texting back, so âdelete my numberâ is pretty funny
I doesnât 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
Thereâs 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 doesnât update her contacts.

8. You owe me child support
We suspect co-parenting isnât 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 âtight nipplesâ? Is âtightâ 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 someoneâs 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 youâve 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 youâre casually hanging out with.

14. Move straight to the breakup
Wow, a text breakup. How classy.
Guess heâll 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 didnât want a relationship.

15. Perfect strangers
We just love this story. When a group of guys was accidentally added to a group text regarding someoneâs newborn, they played along for a bit â and then they offered to come bring presents.
And they showed up!
It certainly charmed this new mom.

16. Itâs ugly
A wig is an interesting gift.
But putting that aside, weâre surprised the texter had a sense of humor after her accidental contact called it ugly.

17. Iâm not gonna threaten you, butâŠ
You have to read these in numbered order â and we swear weâre not the ones who ordered them that way!
Weâre just impressed that this person announced their impeccable self-control before completely losing it.
Isnât it the fianceâs fault if she canât be faithful?

18. Oh, câmon man!
We just hope this guy is close to 18, otherwise heâs a total creep.
Either way, it looks like Jenna dodged a bullet by giving him the wrong number.

19. This cat loves you back
Donât you have the number of the person you love reliably programmed into your phone?
At least they caught on with good humor to the catâs replies.

20. That dog though
Frankly, weâd take this guy up on meeting his dog.
Now we want to know how the texter responded!

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 thatâs her house.
Hereâs hoping that Kelli wasnât traveling when she got the real message â 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.

24. Everybodyâs trash
Co-parenting can be difficult. At least this accidental recipient was understanding about the texterâs frustration.
Interesting how they assumed it was a woman though.

25. Not Jessica
Yeah, thatâs definitely not Jessica. But we like that the texter thought theyâd get a reply if they corrected the spelling of the name.
It appears not to be âJesicaâ either.

26. Kid approved
Weâre 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 âno idea.â
Either way, weâre still wondering which dress she chose.

27. Tony
I guess Tonyâs test text with just his name wasnât 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 âmy preciousâ like Gollum from Lord of the Rings? Weird.

29. But wait, thereâs more
Damn, Brittney, that was a low move. Now that we have the whole story we understand a bit better.
But thatâs 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.

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.

31. Reminder to self or order?
We guess Bartâs not getting a birthday party this year.
But itâs not his fault â blame the messenger on this one.

32. Playing along
We love this moment of shared pop culture. If youâve never seen the State Farm commercials, you wonât get it.
But itâs worth a search just to see how clever these two are.

33. Really?
It clearly doesnât take much to âtrickâ this person.
That meme is the perfect response to a truly bizarre text.
How do you not know the number you JUST DIALED?

34. Uh, happy birthday?
That sounds like a terrible birthday present. What kind of disrespect warrants a physical assault?
Weâre pretty glad we donât have to deal with this ultra âclassyâ texter.

35. Thanks for that
UGH. The worst kind of fake text is the one that forces you into a phone conversation youâre not ready for.
We think this texter owes their accidental recipient a big apology.

36. Dammit, Janet
Donât make her tip over the barbecue next time youâre being rude.
This must be one heck of a pie recipe.
Can we have it too?

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 youâre obligated to show all of your friends.

38. Deep and meaningful
Thereâs really no need to text someone unless you have something to say.
Or maybe this accidental texter only knowns words that begin with âh.â

39. Adios!
Itâs 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.

40. Whoa, slow down
Thatâs a bit too much to pay for a car. Not money-wise, of course. Just, you know, cuddle-wise.

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 donât we all?

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.

43. Freedom
Excellent response.
Now we just want to know if they made it to the movies together.

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.

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.

46. Iâm 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.

47. See you at the gym
You know this is a true friend because even while he didnât 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 â sounds like he needs it.

48. Celebrating Sandy
Weâre 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, youâre 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.
Weâre voting for the first one.

50. Dammit, Tina
Apparently, Tina did not want to be âhit up.â
But why are all these women giving out fake phone numbers?
Granted, they lead to some great exchanges, but donât they know theyâre just making things awkward and convenient for others?

51. No, not you!
A picture is way better than a response in this case.
But this guy looks like a hoot â maybe give him a chance!

52. But is it a joke?
All thatâs missing is a real, physical address to take this prank to the next level.
Guess plans didnât work out too well that night. Or maybe it was an awesome party â weâll never know.

53. Yikes
Weâd 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
Weâre not gonna lie â we lolâd at this one.
Best not to self-test the catheter â although empathy does make better doctors.

55. Cookie monster
Oh, now thatâs mean.
Canât a person just enjoy a cookie in peace without thinking theyâre going to die?
Thereâs already enough guilt in junk food.

56. Photo duel
Weâre not sure what to make of this one other than that itâs hilarious.
We just want to know where it went from here and how the original texter responded to this guyâs photo.

57. Copycats
Weâre a big fan of these photo replies. Theyâre 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?
Donât get us wrong, theyâre delicious, theyâre justâŠuntraditional.
But since they had the wrong number anyway, it sounds like those ice cream sandwiches will be a surprise.
Do you think theyâll bring the turkey too?

59. Now whoâs immature?!
Wow, well, it sounds like Yejin has some maturity issues â and a great manicure if it cost as much as a PS4!

60. Long live the Queen
Queen is a pretty great nickname, so weâd want that guy to stick around too.
Guess the textee will just have to upgrade her next boyfriend.

61. Got your back
Weâre not sure what an ass-stomping is, precisely, but we imagine it hurts.
Itâs never a good idea to threaten violence over text, but at least this accidental recipient showed some solidarity.

62. Poor Cameron
We imagine these are brothers. Who else would tell you to lock the door because theyâre too lazy to get up or threaten to tell on you for smoking even though you werenât?
We have to admit, these two are pretty creative with their threats.

63. Bummer about the goldfish
Dwayne just canât keep his numbers straight.
Canât he have more respect for someone in goldfish mourning?

64. Rat breeder
Thatâs a weird first text no matter what youâre 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? Donât you learn the first time?
We just have so many questions about this one â we wanna hear everything too!

66. Futurama reference
Well, if you havenât seen the brilliant show Futurama youâre missing out on the humor in this text.
In any case, weâd 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 itâs destiny that brought them together.

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 didnât know her if you were a guy?
We just hope she doesnât take the joke too seriously and call him, maybe.

70. Very wrong number
Well thatâs 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?

71. Thatâs cold
Oh, man, now thatâs just mean.
Notice the time difference between the two messages â this person waited until poor Melanie had only 45 minues left before her shift to tell her she had the wrong number.

72. Donât insult the dog!
Hey, small dogs are dogs too!
Thereâs 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 weâre not sure how much good that did for the rage issues.

74. Someoneâs husband has been a bad boy
At least a teenage boy got a good laugh out of all this because this couple sure isnât having a great time.
We donât blame the accidental texter for forgetting the birthday of someone their husband is cheating with â as long as she forgets his too. After all, heâs the one breaking the vows.

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.
