8 people on the moment they sent a text to the wrong person.

We’ve all been there. You’re typing a strongly worded text message about a certain someone and then before you know it, you’ve sent it off into the universe when you realise: it’s addressed to the wrong person.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton — famous for his hilarious jokes about rising sea levels — has been forced to apologise after sending a text message labelling News Corp journalist Samantha Maiden a ‘mad f*cking witch’ to Samantha Maiden herself.

Whoops?

As awful Mr Dutton’s message was – and it was certainly unbecoming of someone in public office – he’s not the first person to have made the mistake of sending a text to the person you were supposed to send the message about.

Spare a thought for these people, like this girl who texted her Dad instead of her boyfriend.

And this man, who tried to break up with his wife via text. When she was in the same room.

You’ve got to feel for the girl who accidentally recounted her awkward sexual encounters to the guy she was seeing.

Or this poor soul, who messaged his girlfriend’s father by mistake.

Then there was Mario, who got a bit more than he bargained for when shopping for a new car.

Then there was this guy, who has too many exes to keep track of.

Spare a thought for poor Sarah, who got more than she bargained for when she opened this message.

You’re not alone, Dutton, you’re not alone.
