Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Sit back and enjoy the story of Steve and Jess. Steve met Jess in popular Dublin pub Dicey’s last night and has been engaging in some chit-chat with her today.
The only problem is that Steve got Jess’s phone number wrong, and has been texting the person running Paddy Power’s Twitter account instead.
Cue absolute hilarity. How long until poor Steve cops on?
Well this day just got interesting, potentially. I’ve just received a text that wasn’t meant for me. Give me a sec and I’ll show you.

Right, I’ve blocked out Steve’s number because I’m sound that way. Help me out Twitter, what do I reply? pic.twitter.com/dysztl8Utf

Here’s my reply folks. I’ve decided to be feminine and also use a little bit of text speak. Now we wait. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/AsuQqwGPEE

Alright, here’s my reply. Played it safe. Gave a double kiss though, stepping it up. We wait. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/YbSFWWWlow

STEVE’S TYPING! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/bQ3ECEXTxM

It’s been 12 minutes and still no reply from Steve. He’s slacking. In the comfort zone already. #PPTexts

He’s gotten on board with the double kisses! It’s on, folks. What do I reply? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/OFHkBndQCI

Alright. Cheeky Paddy and Soccer Saturday reference. Wink face, but just one kiss. Mind games. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/YCAqCy4Yi9

I’m gonna need your help replying to this one folks. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/1q6Db8m3Q3

Breaks my heart, but in the interests of authenticity, I’m making an intentional mistake in my reply. ‘Your’ instead of ‘you’re’. #PPTexts
— Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Alright. Intentional grammatical error and three kisses. And a suggestive invitation. Come on Steve! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/cCPbvKSWgn

Very disappointing on the kisses front. Think I’ll have to be busy tomorrow so. Thoughts? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/vkY6s24yN4

Repeat of the intentional grammar error. Stone Cold Steve Austin reference. Uncle Paddy again. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/VPaD99SyiX

I’m starting to quite like Steve. He seems like a decent fella. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/mC7LCeXyEL

Pretty happy with this response. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/rE8yfW7weQ

So Steve keeps himself fit. Good to know. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/ZIMM4EwFYI

Kept it simple on my reply. Gonna take this opportunity to get dinner. I’ll update when he replies! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/IlZqj8DM1s
