have to share... blooper text...
So... I get home from work and H tells me how FIL and (s)MIL are a bit pissed at me for a text that SIL (who just got married this weekend) sent to (s)MIL but was MEANT for me. Saying "hahaha yeah, dad and step-mom didn't get us a card either!" Apparently FIL called H up and biitched to him for a while (while H is at work on a roof!) and both were SUPER bent outa shape. I told H I had no clue what they were talking about cuz I didn't talk to SIL today!
SO I call SIL and she said YES, the text was meant for me. They opened all their cards and noticed there was none from them and I had told her back in June that I wasn't sure if it was a mistake, so she should check when they get married. So she checked, and sent a text, but my name is V, and (s)MILs is R, so she checked the wrong one. BIG boo-boo. She deleted (s)MIL from her phone so she won't do it again!! hahaha So now they're both pissed at me, and I have to suck up to them the next few times we see them (and of course, WE'RE the ones who live 20 min from them while everyone else is a few states away!).
If you understood that, then maybe you got a laugh out of it. Drama drama! LOL

Gotta love families
In HS I was super mad at a friend and said something really snarky about her to another friend through text (i thought) but it really went to the girl it was talking about. Luckily I didn't use her name so I twisted it somehow and saved my butt. I've learned to triple check text messages when I'm sending something that I don't want the wrong person to get. And have grown up and know that you don't ever want anything in writing that can come back and bite you

Agreed - I don't get why they're pissed at you. And, seriously, send an effing card and stfu lol. Don't get pissed when someone makes a truthful statement.
I'm with you guys here. A card is not that tough. FFS.
This is why I'm slightly paranoid about sending texts or emails to the wrong person though. And why almost none of my texts or emails say bad things about people. I save all my griping for in-person convos.
Well this is what makes it bad (or worse), and why they were pissed.. they hadn't given us a card/gift at our wedding. BUT, on Fri, the night before SILs wedding, (s)MIL slipped us some $ for our upcoming honeymoon, stating they knew they didn't give us anything on our wedding, so this was it. Soooo.... I hadn't talked to SIL about it or anything, but then for the ILs to 'hear' (or think) that we were complaining about not getting a card when they JUST gave us some money IS really ungrateful!! But the convo I had with SIL about the cards was back in June. So this was really all bad timing with it. They'll be okay. It was just awkward!
(And SIL and I COMPLETELY agree, what the helll would you not get a card?? Even some of our derelict friends were able to get a card, so you'd think the FIL (or F in her case) and very etiquette-savvy (s)MIL would be able to do it!!)
