Embarrassing Mistells

My wife and I play together, and there's been a couple times where we were sending dirty tells to each other and one slipped out into the team chat or broadcast or something. That's always good for some awkwardness.

There's also been times when we were talking badly about someone else on the team (i.e. This is the worst tank I've ever seen, or something like that) and we've accidentally said something that the rest of team could see.

I've had a ton over the years... mostly just accidentally telling teammates they suck when the message was meant as a PM or some such. Of course there were a few times when a typo was an issue and caused me to look like a complete jerk. A teammate will ask some random question and instead of me saying "NP!" I have accidentally typed "NO!" It looks bad and takes a bit to explain on occasion.

I've had more than a few mistells, but only one that was particularly amusing/embarrassing/whatever.

I was on a TF team, and we discovered that most of the team was around my age (30-ish), and we got onto the topic of cartoons we used to watch as kids. In the middle of the conversation, someone asked a question in the local badge channel that I knew the answer to. A few moments later someone on the team mentioned a certian cartoon which I had particularly enjoyed, so I quoted the main character's catch phrase.

In the Badge channel.

I am the terror that flaps in the night!

My best thing that was sorta like a misstell was when I was doing a rsf, and we were on the final mish. You know: the freedom phalanx. So, we were doing well, when all the sudden someone quits while we were wearing down BaB. I was in vent at the time, so I said "this ******* ******* just quit in the middle of a rsf!!!!! what the bloody he'll is he thinking!!!!" turn out HE was in my vent too, and he needed to pick someone up at the airport. Apparently I missed him saying so.

I don't think I've had any embarrassing mistells myself. However, I have been witness to a one-sided extremely graphic cybering session in teamchat. She must have mt'd half her erotic talk. Due to the nature of the conversation, I won't repost it... but there were some pretty eye-widening acts mentioned.

Thank you, Champion.

I've managed a fairly awkward one myself. I'd just met up with someone I was... er... shall we say "starting to get romantically involved with", and sent out the following messages:

/t ladyfriend: had loads of fun - can't wait to see you again
teamchat: when are you free...?

...then managed to make a SECOND cockup, and sent:

/t ladyfriend: oops, mistell

So I had not only the whole team wondering what I'm going on about, but this poor girl wondering exactly who else I'm talking to...!!

Funny you should post this now. I just had one last evening.

Was running Citadel with some friends from a global channel. I get this quite interesting tell from somebody I met one time ages ago. They were wanting to have.... adult RP with me. Now, I don't RP (except sometimes on my Texan) and I told them as such. They kept on, and I sent what I thought was a tell....

"Look, I don't care if you RP, but I won't talk about doing that stuff with you. That's nasty, and welcome to ignore."

After I /gignored them I noticed that my reply was in green and not yellow.... and I then had to explain to my friends.

These are fantastic. We need some more!

I can't remember the exact context, but I think I have it screenshotted at home. I was making some kind of elaborate metaphor about how fighting the ghost of Scrapyard is similar to bedroom activities or something. And I ended up mistelling something along the lines of "And then, *just* as you have your pants off, a thousand guys with beards come in the door!" to a global channel.

I try to be nice to people on PUGs...who knows when I'll see them again. But occasionally I will intend to send a tell to a friend saying something like "I don't think this guy gets it" or "Team leader is very indecisive, sorry this is taking so long" and discover to my horror I've dropped it into team chat.

Lets see...

Once I was on a Safeguard, about level 12 or so, when a friend logs on and sends me a tell asking what's going on. Now, this SG was a real trainwreck. People were all over the map, the leader wasn't calling them to the bank and at this point I had already faceplanted about 3 times. So I replied to my friend, "Oh, nothing much. Just getting killed repeatedly by this crappy team I'm on." Only of course, it wasn't to my friend, but in team chat. AWKward!

Another wasn't so much a mistell as a...well...it's funny I think.

I was on a team with friends/SG mates, when my wife needed some help with something. So I type in chat, "BRB wife aggro", then turn around to see that my wife had not actually left the room as I had thought.

Wife: What did you just say to them about me?!?!
Me: *tries to explain "aggro" and how it's actually quite funny and...honey? Honey? Aw, c'mon, don't be mad...*

When I got back into the game, I told my team that my wife saw the chat and asked what "wife aggro" meant.

Teammate: What did you tell her?
Me: Well, I didn't think she would understand "aggro", so I though fast and told her it means she's fat.
Another teammate: ROFLMAO!!
Another teammate: Too funny!
Me: Whew! Dodged a bullet on THAT one!

Does sending an insulting Instant Message about your boss, TO YOUR BOSS instead of your colleague count?

Luckily he was away from his desk and I ran into his office and deleted it before he saw it *whew*

I have had so many miss tells..

I often pug, not that I don't like my guild. I just enjoy meeting new people. I invited a few people that I had met to group with us, and my guild was telling me how strange my friends are.

My reply to them was... I lick my friends. Quickly typing LIKE LIKE LIKE.

I got a bunch of tells after.. So.. how YOU doin.. and so on.

I tend to play games till the wee hours of the morning when my kids are gone. My mom called to tell me my youngest did not want to go to sleep. I was on vent and held the button down when I replied to her.

Spank her little bottom and put her to bed.

Whole guild... You can spank my bottom and put me to bed too

My mom has never really approved of my gaming addiction. 10 years now you think she would get over it. LOL

She calls one day and I answer the phone.. H.. E.. L oh crap. Hello? I actually spelled it out loud rather then saying the word.

Playing another game they have mobs called Bog Lords. On vent I proceed to tell my group to kill the bong lords. That one went well as you can imagine.

I've had mistells, sure. But I think the one that became most memorable for my friends was actually over TeamSpeak while playing CoH, and it was spoken by my wife. I wear a headset when playing, so she can't hear if I'm talking to others over TeamSpeak when she occasionally walks through the room. One time, she came into the room to make a joking remark. It was an inside joke we'd been saying back and forth, in reference to prison humor. Anyway, she came into the room and yelled, "I'm gonna (fornicate) you in the (prosterior)!" (censored for obvious reasons) while I had been holding down the push-to-talk button.

Needless to say, my friends had a good time making jokes about who wore the pants in our relationship for quite a while.

Ooooh, I heard a good one over Teamspeak actually - not really accidental, but certainly funny. A guy from the SG I used to be in was openly talking to his wife, and taking the piddle saying she couldn't hurt him from where he was. Now, the wife could of course hear this guy, but not us.

"How come she can't hurt you?" we asked.
"'Cos she's sat on the sofa, and she's lazy. And, er... well."
"...?"

...we probed a bit further.
"You mean, a bit on the big side?"
"Yeah, she's fat."
*THWACK*
"OW!"

It transpired, she'd thrown a shoe and clocked him squarely in the back of the head.

Two great ones spring to memory, one wasnt really a mistell but it certainly did give our global channel quite a laugh. Back when there was a bug that put the key you bound chat to in front of the text someone wanted to greet a channel member who had just logged on and wrote "tits a fyre!"

Another fav of mine is while having a conversation in a private global channel I accidentally put the following in the Victory Badges Channel "and how do you know what urinal cakes taste like?"

LOL. This thread is great.

Luckily, the folks on Champion server like to keep track of these sort of things. I've embarrassed myself quite a bit.

Mistell/oddness recorded

EDIT: Ok, I have to show these ones just for their awesomeness

Remembered one from work today.

Guy had bought new work pants, Dickies brand, and those brand new can stand up on their own.

In comes the mother of two, who feels them, then states:

"I hate stiff Dickies".

These are great. Let's get more!
