📰 The Story Everyone’s Talking About
What happens when work life and social life collide? For 25-year-old Central Coast real estate agent Daniella Szakac, it led to the most mortifying text mix-up of her career – and the internet cannot get enough.
After a night out with friends at the Bondi Hotel, Szakac gave her number to a persistent guy who wouldn’t leave her alone. Fast forward to Monday morning: she noticed a missed call on her phone (which doubles as both work and personal) and fired off a polite, professional message.
“Hello. I missed a call from you on Saturday. Just touching base to see how I can assist you? Daniella Prestige Properties.”
Sounds normal enough – except the recipient wasn’t a property buyer. It was the man from the pub.
His reply? Brutal:
“You asked me on a date on Saturday at the Bondi Hotel. Can’t believe you don’t remember.”
Cue: instant horror. Daniella texted back one word: “dead.”

😂 From Mortifying to Viral
The mix-up quickly became viral TikTok gold, after Daniella shared the screenshots with followers.
The caption? A cheeky admission:
👉 “One phone for buyers, one phone for boys.”
Fellow real estate agents piled into the comments admitting this was their “biggest fear” – accidentally sending a client text to someone from their personal life.

📈 The Unexpected Twist
If that wasn’t enough, the story took an even stranger turn.
Since posting the blunder, Daniella has been inundated with attention:
-
📨 DMs from strangers asking her out
-
📞 Cold calls to her office
-
💌 Even men Googling her work details just to track her down
One man told her he’d seen her TikTok, thought she was “pretty and funny,” and asked her on a date – right over the phone.
Her response? A polite but firm “no thanks.”
🤔 Why This Story Resonates
This tale isn’t just funny – it’s relatable. With the lines between work and personal life increasingly blurred (especially for young professionals in real estate), mistakes like this feel almost inevitable.
Daniella’s honesty and humour about the situation turned an embarrassing blunder into a viral win.
Her takeaway lesson?
✅ Keep your work and personal numbers separate.
✅ Laugh at yourself when life gets awkward.
✅ And maybe… don’t give out your real number at the pub.
