My most embarrassing misplaced IM

OK, we've all done it. A group of active IM names, you click on that "special" friend and fire off a steamy note - only to realize you sent it to someone else by mistake. So, what was your most embarassing (plus, what was the response if applicable)

I would imagine that you have accumulated quite a number of embarassing interactions by now but it seems you wanted to keep it hush hush!

I once sent this to someone by mistake:

"I'm sitting outside her actual window now. And I think she's getting ready to make some popcorn. Oh wait, she's going upstairs. Maybe I'll get to see her underwear."

But alas, when Jeska Linden found out that I typed that to Cyn, she didn't mind. She just closes her drapes now.

MM

We have?

Ah, you are kidding me, you want us to repeat THAT?

Of course, the lines typed after the "lol" in response, in retrospect, were probably pretty good too but QUITE outside forum guidelines...

"OMG, my grandmother just fell down the stairs again. BRB, one sec."

Not with Jeska..


/Tina - EXAKT TGIF... time to leave office - Yes I am in Europa!))

*giggle* I was building a new product. A 'doggy crate' that is avatar sized, for submissive types. I was taking pics of a fully-clothed female friend who was modeling in it, showing how the pose balls positioned the avatar in the crate. She noted she was rather small in stature, and wondered if a taller avatar could fit in the crate. My avatar is much taller - almost as tall as most males. So, I clicked on the IM window, popped open my photo model's profile, and dropped a picture on her of myself in the same crate, also fully clothed, to show her that a larger-sized avatar also fit fine...

At least, that was my intent.

But another IM had just come in, from a different female friend. So when I clicked profile on the partially covered IM window, the window that popped up, and which I dropped the somewhat racy picture on, was someone else entirely! The woman who IM'ed me, to ask a business question, suddenly recieved a pic of me kneeling submissively in a doggy crate, as my vixen form. And she was someone who I did NOT have any sort of intimate relationship with! In fact, she was strictly a business contact - the wife of someone I was doing building work for!

*laughs* I immediately IM'ed her and apologized for the mistake. Fortunately, it turned out not to bother her at all. In fact, she responded that she rather liked the pic!

I think worse than an IM to someone accidentally ... would be an IM to a group channel accidentally.

That happened to a friend of mine. lol

Of course Enabran, you haven't forgotten that one you sent about the whipped cream, pvc and duct tape surely big boy?

I have typed an intimate IM or two in the past into the wrong window. Possibly the most embarassing ended up being sent not to it's intended but to a Linden... I forget which one...

hahaha - just the title of this made me laugh!

I was spending some "quality time" with my New girl when my Old girl IMed me begging me to take her back. A comment intended for New when to Old. She assumed I was trying to make up and TPed into the skybox by mapping me. Which of course made New think I had invited Old to the "party".

I once again would like to thank the Lindens for making avatars very durable. What followed would have resulted in major medical bills for all three of us (and no, we weren't enjoying it.)

Let's just say I use IM services outside of SL for any remotely crazy conversation. I have learned my lesson.

I don't have steamy ones, but when I'm fighting with my boyfriend I often have my best friend in another IM and of course I'm telling her what is going on.

One time I told my friend "He's just mad because I said his prim penis looks fake," but I got the windows mixed up and said it to him instead. It kind of surprised me that men in SL take penis criticism as badly as they do irl.

Ya think?

Hmm. I once got an IM from Siggy Romulous. Something about a cardboard tube, a tennis ball, and a gerbil. Never did figure that one out.

That is some serious SL drama! I am still laughing...

The most embarassing one I've ever done is to put some rather explicit cyber that I was supposed to send to my partner, into general chat while hosting slingo....


Thank Goddess they have a sense of humour AND it's a mature region.

ok, i cant believe i am about to tell this on myself.

(i love this thread, TY! <3)

So. Quite some time ago, there was this parade that was happening, and I had created basically a set-box that used avatars as figures, and replicated a painting. (Jean-Leon Gerome's Pygmalion and Galatea)

I finished the display at a white heat at the VERY last possible second, and in the shuffle to get all loaded up, Neil ended up in the Galatea avatar, and I in the Pygmalion one. We found this amusing.
We were giggling about it in IM, and I made some comment along the lines of "Tonight we bend the gender until it breaks."

Except....In the next window, I was also having a conversation with a certain former-linden journalist. Guess where that IM ended up. Bless him for being such a gentleman, even when REALLY really confused.

I had a LOT of explaining to do.

OMG, i STILL blush thinking about this. I was properly and completely mortified.

I don't cyber, but I did accidentally call the wrong person some rather colorful names once. That took a lot of explainin'.
