Customers were left stressed out after a taxi company unexpectedly sent out Mother’s Day messages almost two weeks early.
Holloway taxi company Yellow Cars made the text blunder last Tuesday evening, appearing to send the message out to all of their previous customers.
The premature text went on to give a special reason why we should celebrate Mother’s Day – with more than just a few typos.
It reads: “There is nothing in the world of world of art like the songs Mother used to sing. No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to youlife.”
The message was sent 13 days before Mother’s Day, which falls on Sunday 15 March this year.
King’s College student Matthew Barnett, 20, received the mistimed text on his journey home. He said:
“At first it shocked me and I honestly thought I’d forgotten Mother’s Day and nearly called my mum. Then I realised it was a just a mistake.”
Bartender Oli Harris, 23, was also sent the message. He said: “It was a bit strange to get a Mother’s Day text from a taxi company anyway.”
He added: “I’m assuming they meant to put a timer on the text to go out on the 15th, but sent it right away instead.”

Yellow Cars were approached, but have yet to provide a comment.
