Offline messaging at its best

Barath/Bryan; the names sound alike..almost..right? I cannot be the only one to confuse the two.

Here’s an offline message Bryan sent me two days ago:

Bryan sent 2/16/2007 4:03 PM:
ok chun

Note I did not get this until I signed in today, which is one of the reasons offline messaging is really cool. However when I wanted to check if Barath’s computer issue was going on well but he appeared offline I sent him an offline message along the lines of

Felicia said:
hows it going love

which was when Bryan’s two day offline message appeared on my screen

Bryan sent 2/16/2007 4:03 PM:
ok chun (which I thought was Barath’s reply to my message)

to which I continued in Bryan’s textbox

Felicia says:
haha
Felicia says:
i wuv you so much baby
Felicia says:
i misssh you

which was when I realised that there was a separate box on my taskbar with Barath’s name on it which only meant…it wasn’t Barry I was talking to *horror dawns – MORTIFYING MORTIFYING* … and the only way you continue on from there is…

Felicia says (to Bryan) :
hahahaha
Felicia says:
OMG
Felicia says:
i tot you were BARATH!
Felicia says:
LOL
Felicia says:
cuz i was msging him at the same time
Felicia says:
sorrrrry

Felicia says:
but i DO love you
Felicia says:
and miss you
Felicia says:

Felicia says:
so .. no.. not the wrong window
Felicia says:

Felicia says:
ciao

In other words, no, there is no way you recover quickly from something like this.

And funnily enough this is not the first time a potentially embarassing message has not reached its  intended recepient.

It cannot be possible to die from embarassment because otherwise I would not be here, writing to you now.

I don’t know whether it’s a good/bad thing that Bryan was offline at the time that this happened.
