Even I, a younger millennial who grew up almost right in line with the tech as it grew, have made this mistake. It happens.
Honestly, maybe even more frequently when you’re adept because everything is so automatic. All it takes is a moment of brain fart to think about the person you’re texting ABOUT as opposed to the person you’re meaning to text, and you click their name accidentally. Or if they’re the two most recent conversations. Fat finger could make it very easy to click the wrong name.
Fully believable for anyone. Whether or not a screenshot of a text interchange is ever real on the internet is always up for debate, though.
