We’ve all sent a text to the wrong person once or twice—some inciting confusion, and others causing outrage or embarrassment.
It’s happened to the best of us, but it’s a self-inflicted wound if you get my drift. You can’t exactly blame someone else for sending something on your phone, right?

One woman from Derby, Derbyshire is doing just that.
Lingerie model Serenna Derosa got in some hot water recently while trying to buy a luxury car motor for her car over Facebook Marketplace.
Derosa had recently gotten breast augmentation surgery.
Post surgery, she did what anyone in a similar situation would do: She took lots and lots of comparison photos from day-to-day.
Whether it was for medical purposes to see how swelling differentiated once time passed, or to show her friends and lovers her new chest, she felt she had every right to keep private photos of herself on her phone.
One evening, Derosa was talking to a car dealer through Facebook Messenger.
After contacting 30 different car dealers, she sent the message “Is this still available?” to a Facebook user to inquire about a 2008 Audi A3 that had been listed for £2,100.
Then, she got up and went to get a cup of tea.
But when she returned to where she had left her phone, she found new messages sent from her account.
“When I came back upstairs my kitten was next to my phone, which was face down,” she explains, “I mustn’t have turned the lock on my screen on…Angel’s obviously sat on the phone while unlocked.”
Once she saw what had been sent, she was absolutely mortified.
She had accidentally sent three topless photos of herself to the car dealer.
“I thought ‘Oh my god, I could die right now, this is so bad,” she said, “I just wanted the ground to swallow me up.”
“He’s opened the message and seen it but not said anything.”
Worst of all, there was no option to un-send.
“I didn’t know what to do and tried deleting them,” she explains, “But it said it wouldn’t allow me to delete for both people – it would only delete for me.”
The pictures she sent were…interesting to say the least.
“I got an infection after I had a boob job and had to take pictures every two days to send to the surgeon to make sure I was okay and it didn’t spread,” she says, “That’s where that pic came from.”
In the end, she blocked the car dealer on Facebook and decided to give up on the car.
“It’s been a massive lesson learned in terms of leaving Angel near my phone in future,” she added, “I’m definitely going to keep the lock on my phone from now on.”
