Regrets About My Drunk Texts
My drunk texts have not always gone as smoothly as I planned. Sending texts drunk always seems like a great idea at the time. Maybe I’ve gone out with my buddies, had a few beers, a couple of shots, we all know how it adds up quickly! Drinking like this always puts me in a pretty good mood. I feel sociable, confident and in the mood to talk. Having a cell phone in my pocket at times like this puts me in the mood to talk to anyone and everyone. I’ll feel inspired by the alcohol to go through my phonebook, write some messages and hit that send button. What could go wrong? A lot, it turns out! Try and learn from the mistake of my drunk texts.
One of the biggest regrets I have over my drunk texts, in fact over anything I’ve ever done in my life, is the following story. I had just broken up with this girl called Lisa who I was really into at the time. To cheer me up, a few friends had decided I needed a night out. This seemed like the perfect idea and I figured it would cheer me up a lot. We headed to our usual bar and ordered a couple of pitchers. Everything was great for a while and I was feeling a lot better. Then, a song came on in the bar which reminded me of Lisa, and all my common sense left me. I decided this would be the perfect time to let Lisa know that I still cared about her, so I got my cell phone out, ready for some of my drunk texts.
Still drinking, and not telling my friends what I was doing, I sent Lisa a very long, very badly spelt message which included the lyrics of the song that came on in the bar! Perhaps the cheesiest thing I ever sent. As I was buzzed, this seemed like the perfect way to win her back. I had a couple of drinks and checked my phone again. No reply. Anger swept over me! Why would she not reply back to such a sweet message, I drunkenly thought to myself. My drunk texts for the evening were about to take on an angry tone! I fired off a message letting her know that I took the whole thing back, I hadn’t meant anything nice I said, and the perfect way to express this was writing out the chorus to that one Kelis song in bold letters. I HAAATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW! Perfect, I thought, and hit send.
The rest of the night went OK, and I woke up the next morning hung-over, and checked my phone. My drunk texts, which I’d totally forgotten about, had finally received a reply! Already feeling like an idiot after re-reading my drunk texts, I opened it up. “Got some interesting messages from you last night. I think the fact you have such strong feelings means you should find a new tutor. Good luck, Lisa”. Tutor? What? Then it suddenly sunk in. Instead of texting my ex Lisa, I’d texted my college mentor and tutor Lisa, who I’d basically spoken to twice at that point. Feeling like the biggest idiot in the world, I deleted my drunk texts, but haven’t been able to delete that embarrassing story from my mind ever since!
