23 Funny ‘Whoops, Wrong Person!’ Moments

You’d think we’d all seen enough sitcoms by now to know that sneaking up on someone from behind is never the right move. So many things can go wrong, whether it’s scaring them so badly that they drop a birthday cake or kissing your wife’s neck, except whoops, that’s not your wife!

ConstantStomachPain 11y ago I came home a little drunk to my new apartment.

BanditMcDougal 11y ago Happened about... 8 years ago, I think... Wife and I were looking around the Halloween section at Target. As seems to happen when we're going through stuff like this, we started looking at different things, but in the same section; bringing things to each other that we found to show the other, etc. I found this awesome red-eye crow/raven and started looking for my wife to show it off to her.

I surprised him by coming from behind, tossing him in the air and into the water. When I turned around, I saw my cousin standing beside my uncle who was staring at me with disbelief.
