one of my mates at work received a very terse email from a client. Almost rude, but its sort of the blokes personality, and is funny in a strange sort of way.

Anyway my mate tries to send me this email for my amusement this afternoon. He writes (and I will paraphrase) - "look at this - what a idiot, I wont be replying to this"

Instead of sending this to me, he promptly sends it to the client in question.

I suspect he will get a bking but, with an apology it will end there.

can anyone beat this?

To be honest I made that up. It would be funny though...

Have you actually taken a picture, though?

Think you should do it now, as a form of karmic payback for lying to us.

Zimbra email has a 'Are you sure' count-down to sending for about 8 seconds allowing you to cancel it - saved my bacon on a couple of times...

One of the departments at work that deals with confidential sensitive info shares it's name with one of the cleaners.

He must make a fortune selling the info I accidentally send him

My mate got drunk and sent naked pictures of himself to everyone in his address book. Cost him a small fortune in stamps.

Due to severe foot in mouth syndrome I have had to add email delay to one user at work for everything he sends

It sits in his outbox for 4 minutes before sending in case he thinks "bugger... Shouldn't have sent that!"

I never knew this option existed; thankyou for that (for use by a colleague, of course...)

My mate accidentally copied his boss into an email saying he was quitting his job to start a business as a competitor.

Default email address for the ex-colleague he meant to sent to forwarded to company CEO.


Boss called him in for a chat.

Not sure if you can, but there used to be a command in Windows from the command prompt where you could specify a PC to send a message to and it would pop up on the screen.

One chap in my office (a contractor) meant to send the word "bks" to the guy that sat next to him, however he manage to get the syntax wrong and sent it to every PC worldwide, this was in a company where they had over 100,000 PC's on the network.....he didn't last long smile

I was supporting the server environment at the time and for months afterwards I would log onto different servers and find the message still on the screen!

My colleague had an email open from some regional manager.

I clicked the reply button and typed "You are a cock"...

My colleague, inexplicably, picked up the mouse and clicked on the send button. Yeah, we both got disciplined for that.

Ive done similar with texts.

I was slagging off one of the managers (it was pretty strong), but instead of sending it to my manager, i sent it to her. banghead

She replied with, "you didn't mean to send that to me did you?"

This happened in a civil service department - twit of a person sent, by mistake an E mail to everone in the department, 100,000 + people. Meaning to send it to only those in their section, what realy buggered it up was that they put a read recipt on it. Nearly crashed an entire departments systems.

I applied for a job once via email, saying "my CV is attached", which it wasn't. I then sent another one saying sorry forgot to attach the CV, it is attached to this message, which is wasn't.

This was for a software developer job, I didn't get it.
