My daughter once sent me an email complaining about her awful boss. I sent a reply saying "what a horrible woman". It went straight to my daughters boss because she had forwarded her email to me! Thank goodness I didn't say anything worse! Now I always make a new email if I'm going to pass comment! The horrible woman let her keep her job! Lol

I once accidentally sent a picture of a man I liked to my entire mailing list. Oooops! Fortunately, he wasn't identifiable, and many of them couldn't open it because it was too large.

I sent a text to a friend about a guy I was dithering about. I really liked him but had been single for a while and questioned his motives.
I sent it to him!!! Sooooo embarrassed! I did have a brief relationship with him but my instincts were right!
I sent a text to my (then) partner saying good morning, love you, in fact I'd sent it to my boss ? who thought it was hilarious ?

l once sent a text to a work colleague who had the same first name as my partner.
Thank goodness it wasn't too bad....

I once sent a highly sarcastic note to my DH about my stroppy sister - and sent it to her. Well, I thought I had but it turned out I had not. I had sent it by pressing 'reply' to him rather than 'forward' to her so the comment only reached the DH.

Unfortunately I had already sent a mollifying comment to the DS which completely mystified her and alerted her to my misdeed.

Serves me right. I have learned nothing though about being less sarcastic, I am only a little more careful about my addressees.

I received a text at a conference from a lesbian colleague about how much she loves me and then some (it was a 2 day conference and we were all staying overnight). Much wine had been consumed that evening I panicked (her room was across the corridor from mine) until I remembered that her partner's name starts with the same letter as mine... grin.

She was extremely embarrassed and apologetic at breakfast the next morning.

Talking to a colleague in e mail stream, I once said ;Richard must think we are both idiots to fall for his sold tricks'.....copied him in of course........

My sister wrote me an email complaining about her daughter's head teacher, and by mistake sent it to........... you can probably guess who! The only lining to the cloud was that she felt it was righteous indignation she had expressed

grin Thanks for that, Icy. I almost choked on my breakfast tea.

Is cybergrime when DH moans that I never clean my keyboard and screen.

Icyalittle Wed 01-Mar-17 09:05:01

Cybergrime - what on earth IS that?
I think I had better stay home today.

Icyalittle Wed 01-Mar-17 09:03:37

Cybercrime even!

Icyalittle Wed 01-Mar-17 09:03:23

MawBroon if I'd said viruses, I would probably be investigated for cybergrime.

Icyalittle Wed 01-Mar-17 09:01:24

Go on, Rinouchka, do tell?

I am laughing over my coffee. Did something similar not too long ago with hilarious results!

thatbags Wed 01-Mar-17 08:12:43

Good one, icy! grin grin

Icyalittle Wed 01-Mar-17 08:08:36

MawBroon Wed 01-Mar-17 08:07:02

At least you didn't say Germans or viruses grin

And it's hardly 8 o'clock yet. I was writing a text to my DD whose family all have colds when one popped in from BT canvassing my opinion on a scale of 1-5 on a recent engineer visit. You guessed it - I accidentally pressed send, and told them 'No worries, germs are everywhere'. ? confused confused confused
Anybody else done anything similar? (Not necessarily today!)
