How To Cover Up the Fact That You Just Texted Sharon That You Hate Sharon

Deny it.

Denial is a classic tool for dealing with texting mix-ups. When Sharon inevitably tries to call you, or at the very least texts back, “What? Why would you say that?” simply reply with, “Say what?” If she presses the issue and repeats your own text back to you, say something along of the lines of, “I didn’t text that. Must be a glitch with the new iOS. Weird!” If she begins to question your honesty with a screenshot of your text, now’s the time to get indignant. Say something like, “I can’t believe you would ever think I’d say something like that. Do you even know me?” Telling friends that Sharon’s acting crazy will also work at this juncture. In most cases, Sharon will back down like the pushover she is. It’s part of the reason you hate her so much.
