Itโs 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 thereโs 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 youโre sensitive to profanity, this one might not be for you โ people get awfully angry when they find out theyโre being messed with (or that girl at the bar gave them the wrong number).
1. Girl, dump him
We donโt know Ryanโs side of the story, but he doesnโt seem like much of a talker anyway.


2. โAccidentallyโ
Whatever happened to just telling someone you donโt think itโll work out?


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


4. But weโre still on for cuddling, right?
Even the first photo didnโt manage to convince him he wasnโt 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
However, they do seem pretty annoyed about the response they got.
Oh, NOW weโre going to be sensitive?


6. Delete my number
I doesnโt 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
But it looks like Ashley is going to be sucking down those cocktails on her own if she doesnโt update her contacts.


8. You owe me child support
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?
At least this wrong text came with an apology for the whole nipple scare.


10. Paging Dr. Google
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
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
Sorry, white shirt.


13. On point
Still, you do want to dress you best no matter which 200 people youโre casually hanging out with.


14. Move straight to the breakup
Guess heโll 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 didnโt want a relationship.


15. Perfect strangers
And they showed up!
It certainly charmed this new mom.


16. Itโs ugly
But putting that aside, weโre surprised the texter had a sense of humor after her accidental contact called it ugly.


17. Iโm not gonna threaten you, butโฆ
Weโre just impressed that this person announced their impeccable self-control before completely losing it.
Isnโt it the fianceโs fault if she canโt be faithful?
18. Oh, cโmon man!
Either way, it looks like Jenna dodged a bullet by giving him the wrong number.


19. This cat loves you back
At least they caught on with good humor to the catโs replies.


20. That dog though
Now we want to know how the texter responded!


21. Meh, whenever
Do you think he caught on after the photo or thought his employee was drunk?
22. We hope Kelli is ok
Hereโs hoping that Kelli wasnโt traveling when she got the real message โ that would have been stressful!


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


24. Everybodyโs trash
Interesting how they assumed it was a woman though.


25. Not Jessica
It appears not to be โJesicaโ either.


26. Kid approved
Either way, weโre still wondering which dress she chose.


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


28. Precious Caitlin
Do moms really say โmy preciousโ like Gollum from Lord of the Rings? Weird.


29. But wait, thereโs more
But thatโs 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
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?
But itโs not his fault โ blame the messenger on this one.


32. Playing along
But itโs worth a search just to see how clever these two are.


33. Really?
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?
Weโre pretty glad we donโt have to deal with this ultra โclassyโ texter.


35. Thanks for that
We think this texter owes their accidental recipient a big apology.


36. Dammit, Janet
This must be one heck of a pie recipe.
Can we have it too?


37. Awkward apology
On the bright side, this is the kind of acidental text that goes down in history and youโre obligated to show all of your friends.


38. Deep and meaningful
Or maybe this accidental texter only knowns words that begin with โh.โ


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


40. Whoa, slow down


41. Wrong dog number
You know, just in case they want to see Bailey again. And donโt we all?


42. Oh, Cananda
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
Now we just want to know if they made it to the movies together.


44. Joe Mama
It really could go either way.


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


46. Iโm telling my mom
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
And we hope his friend made it to the gym too โ sounds like he needs it.


48. Celebrating Sandy
Heck, she even has supportive strangers!


49. Bad hair day
Then again, it would be so much better if this texter showed up to get one of those haircuts.
Weโre voting for the first one.


50. Dammit, Tina
But why are all these women giving out fake phone numbers?
Granted, they lead to some great exchanges, but donโt they know theyโre just making things awkward and convenient for others?


51. No, not you!
But this guy looks like a hoot โ maybe give him a chance!


52. But is it a joke?
Guess plans didnโt work out too well that night. Or maybe it was an awesome party โ weโll never know.


53. Yikes
Sounds like someone has watched one too many crime shows.


54. Paging Doctor Angel
Best not to self-test the catheter โ although empathy does make better doctors.


55. Cookie monster
Canโt a person just enjoy a cookie in peace without thinking theyโre going to die?
Thereโs already enough guilt in junk food.


56. Photo duel
We just want to know where it went from here and how the original texter responded to this guyโs photo.


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


58. Ice cream Thanksgiving
Donโt get us wrong, theyโre delicious, theyโre justโฆuntraditional.
But since they had the wrong number anyway, it sounds like those ice cream sandwiches will be a surprise.
Do you think theyโll bring the turkey too?


59. Now whoโs immature?!


60. Long live the Queen
Guess the textee will just have to upgrade her next boyfriend.


61. Got your back
Itโs never a good idea to threaten violence over text, but at least this accidental recipient showed some solidarity.


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


63. Bummer about the goldfish
Canโt he have more respect for someone in goldfish mourning?


64. Rat breeder
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?
We just have so many questions about this one โ we wanna hear everything too!


66. Futurama reference
In any case, weโd prefer any Spencer over Zapp Brannigan.


67. Healing begins with the right phone number


68. How not to meet women
The worst part is when he acts like itโs destiny that brought them together.


69. The kid is not my son
Would you feel compelled to take a good look and make sure you didnโt know her if you were a guy?
We just hope she doesnโt take the joke too seriously and call him, maybe.


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


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


72. Donโt insult the dog!
Thereโs no need to take your frustration out on the poor pup.


73. Free grammar lesson
Luckily, they got one of them addressed by the person they accidentally texted. But weโre not sure how much good that did for the rage issues.


74. Someoneโs husband has been a bad boy
We donโt blame the accidental texter for forgetting the birthday of someone their husband is cheating with โ as long as she forgets his too. After all, heโs the one breaking the vows.


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


If so, did you play along for a while or let them know right away?
