I can't copy and paste all the photos, so I'll have to do a hugely illegal thing and tell you all to just click the link. It's hilarious.

It all started innocently enough.
WE CAN‘T help but feel for a man who has been dubbed “Wrong Number Steve†after sending romantic texts to — you guessed it — the wrong number.
Poor Steve texted someone he thought was a girl, Jess, whom he met at a bar recently in Dublin, Ireland.
But in a cruel twist of fate, he mistakenly sent the texts to the administrator of a betting agency‘s Twitter account.
Instead of replying “wrong numberâ€, @PaddyPower decided to play along, asking Twitter users to join in and suggest responses using the hashtag #PPtexts.
What began as a practical joke soon turned into a cringe-worthy string of texts that had the Twittersphere cheering on “Wrong Number Steveâ€. Perhaps even crushing on. Just a little.
We‘ve got no idea if this is just an elaborate publicity stunt by the agency or if indeed poor Steve is in fact a legitimate gentleman, but we still think it makes for hilarious reading.
So give us a shout out Steve, we‘d love to hear from you.
