DALLAS – “I’ll be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you…”
That’s the cute, catchy chorus to a Chris Brown song. But uhh… in real life, there’s nothing cute about letting liquid courage push you to hit send on a ridiculously messy message to your ex.
“Why the h*** did I just send that?! UGH!” you scream while tossing the phone across the room.
Yeah, we’ve all been there. Now, there’s a drunk text savior in the form of an app called, On Second Thought.
Drunkies, bow down to Maci Peterson, the brainchild behind this lifesaver. She came up with the idea one night while texting, you guessed it — her ex.
“Hey, for some reason I keep missing your calls. Autocorrect changed it to, ‘Hey I keep missing that part of your anatomy that rhymes with calls,'” Peterson explained.
Ha! Can you say embarrassing?!
“The natural reaction is to start slamming your fingers against your phone to get the message back,” Peterson laughed during an interview with WGN-TV. “But that doesn’t do anything but to make you look more like an idiot.”
She has a point.
Peterson immediately did a Google search for an app that could magically make the text disappear from her ex’s phone.
It didn’t exist.
So, she put her Business degree to work and developed just what the drunk people of America were looking for.
It’s easy to use. Just download On Second Thought from the Google Play Store (an iOS app is coming soon), head to your settings and decide your grace period.
“That’s the amount of time you have to take back your text,” Peterson explained. “I have mine set at five seconds because I’m a little impatient. I have five seconds to swipe left to get my message back after hitting send.”
There’s even a curfew setting!
“The curfew is for those nights out when you know you might get a little tipsy. So, say you think you’re gonna have a little tequila by 8 o’clock. You can set your curfew for 8 and all your messages will be held until the next morning.”
Brilliant!
What are you waiting for? Download OST before you “pour it up, pour it up” and start singing, “I’ll be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you…”
