Responding to the wrong IM window

[sunshine 2]

I have a bad habit of responding to an IM in the wrong IM window. Of course the person wonders WTF im talking about. Anyone else do that or am i the only stupid one?

we all do it.

I usually just type "mistell, sorry" and we move on.

I do the same thing, so dont feel so bad.

I normally catch on after I have hit enter, but I tend to multi-task and not pay full attn to all that I am doing, so it is known to happen. I just say "sorry" and people just laugh. Oh well!

Oh my gosh! I do that all the time! I have alerts on everybody that tell me when they come online and I'll be typing to somebody and that alert will pop up and I'll send something to them by accident. Sometimes it's people who I haven't talked to in forever and they can't understand why I would be IMing them.

Maybe I should take off those damn alerts.........

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

It happens. It's really embarassing when the IM window pops to the front just as:

1) You're typing in a password in another program
2) You're (making fun of | cheating on) the person in the other IM window
3) You're typing in a rude sentence to a friend and send it to your mother by mistake


(Not all of these are from personal experience, thank you, some are the embarassment of others, here made plain for your amusement)

If you dont close em out and just _ them they usually dont Pop up, and I have had a lot of help not X ing them so I can remember what I just said.
But yeah Ive had the wrong Im bust many times, its really worse when they ask you "Who else are you talking with" and you type, hold on let me tell this person Im not talking to anyone but her" but Im a major smartass, so they expect that and I can easily reply with "So did you think that was funny?"

tabbed message windows for all your conversation sorting needs. I use deadaim, there's also gaim and aim+ that I hear work but I haven't used.

I'm assuming you're using aol's instant messenger service

I noticed you seem to do the same thing in real-life too.

I did that too, and still do sometimes...but I downloaded DeadAIM and it's formatted to it doesn't really happend because all the conversations are in one window and it has tabs above it to click on the right person. I don't know it that makes sense but if you download it you'll see what I mean. Search DeadAIM on google and the site will come up.

Only happened to me last week actually, though I was on the recieving end of it!

My friend told me about his love for me, and some rather nasty details about what he'd like to do to me in bed that night.

He hasn't spoken to me since.. I think I gave him some kind of complex when I pointed out 'er dude, wrong window'.

LMAO!!! That is just too funny! Would have loved to seen the look on his face when he realized it!

Don't we all do that at times?

You should not be so negative. Meaning Don't degrade yourself girl! It is a simple mistake.
Although sometimes it can be embarrassing!

Not only have I done it, but I've done it AT WORK...about a co-worker everyone loathes. Sent HIM the message that was meant for one of my compatriots, and had to explain it away with a hasty lie about a bad customer.

Doh, McDuck, I've done the same thing!! My boss is IM with me...this pain-in-the-ass other associate chimes in on top...so I try to tell my boss, "Oh great...guess who is asking me a question: Mr. Joyful" or something similar...it goes to "Mr. Joyful" instead......then I'm back-peddling trying to play it off like I was actually talking to him about a different pain-in-the-butt...

It actually worked, but it sure reminded me of how wrong it is to talk about people behind their backs! I think I got bitch-slapped by kharma....

Edited to add: I've also done the same thing when I had two phone lines going...hubby on one, boss on the other...I ended up telling my boss, "Hi, handsome!" -he was a bit taken aback, and I realized what was happening by the stunned silence...we all laughed at that!
