Tonight i sent a colorful text message to the wrong person. The iphone sms app defaults to the last person you were texting with by default when you launch it.

That's when i looked up and realized the wrong person now knows way to much about me.

I immediately responded with "sorry, wrong person, that text was meant for someone else" and the person on the other end said "it's fine" but we all know it isn't.

Not responded.

Would this have worked? Any better ideas for dealing with this?
