If your a business professional then your excuse is ... networking.
Your place meaning your place at work.

Screwed up and sent a message to the wrong people, what do I do?
- Thread starter yguns31
- Start date
If someone questions it, just say it’s been awhile and you weren’t sure whether to call it an office, because she said she works out of her home “at her kitchen table.”
Good luck!
I’m sure there are some headhunters who work out of their home. I know more than a couple that office share. Not particularly strange they want prospective clients to feel at-ease, in that maybe you don’t want your employer to know you’re shopping around.
That’s all well and good, but remember the first rule of Fight Club.Real men don't have to explain their actions
The other strategy is to go full on bare facts. Eg: If somebody from your Facebook friends group asks you: "Hey XXX, WTF was that text all about?" Just answer: "Oh, I was just trying to arrange an appointment to get the old dick sucked". When they respond with "What?????", just walk away, laughing. Then unfriend him/her.
Send another message to the same group, (But give the sp a heads up so she doesnt respond) saying "hi, sorry to be pushy, but still trying to get together over that x deal, and would like to get onto the opportunity before it goes away (x being something clearly relevant to your work)....then wait about an hour and send another fb message to just this fb friend saying to your fb friend "crikey mate, sorry I accidentally looped you in on a work thing....i had the wrong links no wonder my colleague didnt respond lol"....
Why not get creative lol...

Just delete the message out of the Facebook group and don't draw any more attention to it. If people ask (and only if), then respond with an excuse.
Don't worry OP, it happens to everyone.
I had a similar but probably more embarrassing one recently. I went on a dinner and more date with a provider and texted her later with profuse thanks as she had paid for the meal. As we know each other very well there was deeply hidden innuendo regarding the rest of the evening. Not paying attention I pushed send but it was to a text that had come in earlier that evening. It was my kid's teacher regarding homework. I immediately followed up with "oops wrong person".
She replied the next morning with;
"Don't worry Mr. Xxx, it happens to everyone"
Some days I'm especially glad not to be married anymore.

Completely off topic but I'm so curious. I don't have children, but I was a little taken aback by this. Do parents and teachers chat and text nowadays? That seems very stressful from the child's point of view. I still have terrible memories of that days leading up to parent/teacher interviews and when the school tells you they mailed out report cards.
I was out to lunch with a friend whose daughter is in a public high school yesterday. She got an email from a teacher while we were eating about her kid being a turd that day in-class, and they included her mark breakdown and her attendance record.
Not so sure about the texting, but maybe it happens. I’ve used Remind before to communicate to big groups who I don’t want to give even my business phone number to. I remember it being expensive, but easy.
I also remember reading years ago that parents and students in some boards in Ontario have the ability to log in and see current mark, attendance info, and comments that explain assignment mark breakdown on some app.
Poor teenagers.
Racing home to check mail, or erase answering machine messages must be a thing of the past.
It was a new feature this year. Middle school yet so I don't know about high school. Texts come to parents and students indicating homework which is also connected to an app called Remind. And yes (blush) you can text back to the teacher! Gone are the days of the flimsy excuses like My dog ate my homework.
