Christmas Card Fail Alert!

Initial Card-Sending Process

Many of us are in the habit of sending out Christmas cards during the holiday season. Jenny Smith, 52, is no exception. She makes a list of those she intends to send cards to and then goes out to buy them. Afraid of forgetting someone, she often buys extra cards. However, a few years ago, things took an unexpected turn.After purchasing the cards, she randomly chose some people from her database and sent them a Christmas card, thinking they would be happy to receive one. But one man, David, was not pleased.

David's Reaction

In a voicemail played by Smith, David could be heard expressing his frustration. He said, "You sent a Christmas card to my house by mistake and now my wife is accusing me of buying a house for a hidden girlfriend." He added, "You need to straighten this out before it gets very, very ugly."This incident became a source of amusement for Smith now, but at the time, it was total chaos.

Aftermath and Lessons Learned

Speaking to TODAY.com, Smith explained the situation to David and his wife. She said they calmed down immediately after she clarified that he was not a formal client and that he had merely filled out an online form, which added him to her company database.When asked if she would send cards to random people in her database this year, Smith replied, "Oh, no! I don't think I will ever do that again." This experience has taught her a valuable lesson about being more careful with her holiday card selections.Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
