Most of us have awkwardly sent a message to the wrong person before and you’d think people would be more careful about what they send over text.
If you’re in a situation where you’re sending a sensitive or naughty text, surely you’d double or triple check it is going to the right person.
Unfortunately for 21-year-old Alexis Caputo from Arizona, this wasn’t the case when she realised she had accidentally sent an especially awkward text to her grandmother.
Oops indeed!
With her 64-year-old grandma Patrice living in California, Alexis doesn’t get the chance to see her that often, so they catch up via text.
Although Alexis says they are ‘close’ with Patrice also ‘not shy about any topic’, sex is something they don’t discuss making the message even more embarrassing.
I think we can all see where this is going…
Attending ‘adult classes’ at a local ‘club’, Alexis learns ‘how to do things safely and new skills’ as she delicately puts it.
Receiving a message from a friend asking her if she wants to take a dildo class, Alexis instantly replied back saying ‘hmmmm possibly, I’m not much for penetration’ clicking send without thinking.
Moments later checking her phone, Alexis realised this message had actually gone to her grandmother!
Yes, I too am cringing in my chair!
Quickly sending another text which read ‘Dear Lord I am sorry. Wrong person’, Alexis knew there was no recovery from her mistake.
Speaking exclusively to UNILAD, Alexis admitted this will ‘probably be the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to me’.
She added:
I was at work when this happened so I sat at my desk and kind of looked at it in disbelief before ultimately squealing and hiding my face in my keyboard.
I definitely disrupted my co-workers. So I told them what happened and naturally they laughed at me and I did too.
My grandma also didn’t reply for four hours! So I on and off again thought about it and just got embarrassed over and over again.
I mean I panicked because it was embarrassing but luckily I knew my grandmother wouldn’t get angry. The only thing I was worried about is if she was going to bring it up at Christmas dinner. And that overall I was mortified!
Alexis’ humiliating ordeal wasn’t over yet though thanks to her grandma’s reply.
As Alexis referred to the time she caught her grandparents having sex in her bed while watching porn – I mean: go them – her nan started joking about this incident.
She texted back:
You write that to your grandmother?! Hysterical!
Or the ‘hey, grandpa, show me how you launch grandma in bed’.
Clearly uncomfortable, Alexis begged her grandma to stop joking about her sex life replying with ‘Holy hell’ and ‘Grandma no’.
This just gave her nan more satisfaction though who was clearly glad she had embarrassed her granddaughter writing back ‘Haha’.
Although Alexis is grateful her grandmother ‘wasn’t angry’, she does regret the incident and will be checking all her future messages.
Good call, Alexis.
