Ok, it’s happened to all of us at one time or another. You have millions of IM windows open and going at the same time…then “OH &*(&(*&*!” you typed the wrong thing in the wrong IM window!:o It happened to me a LONG time ago…but nothing too bad…from what I remember I just wrote something about my hair to a student I was helping online as I was talking to a friend online. So, what kind of FUNNY stories are out there?? (Try to keep them as clean as possible…OK?? ;))
November 13, 2004 at 2:40 am #104639QuiksilverMemberhaha happens all the time…that’s when I go away on trillian and those friends that know they can IM me while I’m away do, that puts the rest of em to sleep! “oops wrong im” sometimes I type that when I say something I didnt want to. comes in handy because they always believe you! yep. don’t trust those that say wrong IM when no one is online and they don’t have too many friends!
as far as stories go it must’ve been when I was explaining something personal to a good friend and I was talking to like 10 people. I think I was typing something along the lines of “and that’s why I like ” and oh gee the wrong IM thing didn’t work there. I had to come to an agreement with the person that the wrong IM went to…good thing he was trustable…hehe
talking about wrong IM’s…don’t you hate it when people just kind of “pop-up” (spike…lol)? your typing something while not relaly looking at the computer, and while you were typing someone else IMed you that hasnt IMed you yet and poof half of the message goes into the wrong IM and you have to type everything all over again! teaches you to keep your eyes on the screen 😉

how about a “block new IM’s while typing” feature for instant messenging? (pop-up blocker…)November 13, 2004 at 2:59 am #104633RabidKittenParticipantI always just get new IMs popping up and then they get the tail end of a sentance like “iend!?” It’s kind of like when you walk in on someone talking on the phone in the other room and you catch the wrap up of a very awkward conversation like “And that was the second time I got crabs”. About as embarasing *shrug* What I love is the people who wont let it go, who ask “What was the rest of the sentance” and all that. It’s like, yo! It wasn’t meant for you, so bugger off. That’s what I get for knowing how to type without looking, I then go and look elsewhere and don’t catch my mistakes until after I hit [enter]. *shrug* Tis my curse, heheh.
November 13, 2004 at 3:10 am #104640QuiksilverMemberstop running round in my brain RK. im serious! stop! you stole my thoughts and yet they sound different…grr…lucky though that I dont get people that ask what that was about and such. but it gets pretty bad when youre in a situation like I described above. *gets red* another lesson for me: don’t talk about personal stuff over IM. do it on the phone. then when im on the phone my mom walks in while I’m talking about it. that’d be my curse.

were taught not to look at the keyboard while typing and then it comes back to haunt us!November 13, 2004 at 4:56 am #104632OreoMemberQuote:quote:Originally posted by RabidKittenWhat I love is the people who wont let it go, who ask “What was the rest of the sentance” and all that.
I have to admit that was the inspiration for this thread…I was chatting with a friend and this friend wrote something that was to be a joke at me….but sent it to the TOTALLY wrong person….I won’t share the conversation….but it was FREAKING hilarious. 🙂
November 15, 2004 at 4:03 am #104635colinMemberThe “wrong IM” happens to me a lot, but nothing really embarrassing is said. But one time, my friend was on, and all the sudden I see “OMG, ________ is SO hot!!!” it was all good, cause me n her are tight and I didnt tell anyone, but it was funny at the time
November 21, 2004 at 11:12 pm #104641LLXerxesMembernope, but other people do it to me
November 22, 2004 at 3:28 am #104636RigorMortisMemberThat happened to me once, I was chatting on AIM with a good friend of mine, and I said something like “shut up fool” just as an im window from a girl opened. It was quite embaressing, but she laughed it off cuz she’s had the same thing happen. So now I use trillian, so I don’t have to worry about that much. I have the option that all new windows don’t pop up, they stay hidden until I click on the triliian icon in the system tray. I just hear the incoming message sound and get the blinkink systray icon, but it doesn’s steal focus from the im window I’m currently chatting in. works for me 🙂
November 22, 2004 at 4:10 am #104638mdandeMemberi was chating with a this lady 1 time and she asked if I had a photo so I was yea I sure do would you like it. will needless to say I messed up and ended up sending 1 of my wifes photos to her then when I went to resend it I sent it I ended up sending 1 of my other friends my pic befor I relised what I had done she finely ended up with the right photo. thank god it wasnt a nuty pic I felt like a fool that day lol
November 22, 2004 at 7:34 pm #104634Dr KimbleParticipantHmm, more of what happens to RK is what happens to me. I am in a nice conversation and then *bam* someone new talks to me and the rest of my message goes to them. I can usually catch it though because I am more often than not looking at the screen. The only funny one I can remember is when I was having a chat lingo war with a friend and I accidently sent something like this lkomgwhoanowaayyy!!!111brbkiturswt!! to someone else that doesn’t know chat lingo too well. She thought I was on drugs [:P]
November 23, 2004 at 4:07 am #104637seb_thib_55MemberHappens to me every day to every 2nd day! I chat to at least 12 people at a time. Yup happens all the time to me!
