For a bit of a laugh

I was reminiscing with an old work colleague recently, and we were howling at the email I once sent to a large list of various highfalutin folk. Instead of the sentence reading "I will have to shut down the system at 5pm Friday" it read "I will have to shit down the system at 5pm Friday"

300+ people.

I'm not the only one who has made an utter twat of themselves in this way have ???

I once text my academic advisor and tutoring group saying

‘Sorry, will be late I was covered in dick this morning’ it was literally my 2nd meeting with them, nothing major but felt so Friggin awkward

I once had a marketing email from a company advertising a sale on their (fairly upmarket) products. The subject line was clearly meant to be something like "Shift yourself to catch these offers".

Unfortunately they missed out the 'f' in the first word.

An abject apology followed shortly afterwards.

I received a long, detailed and highly professional email the other day. Last sentence accidentally described a colleague as busty instead of busy. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. It made my day.

I’ve just been ticked off for howling at some of these corkers.

My DH - on the basis of this topic cling off and asking why I was laughing- told me he once sent a text to his boss asking him if he left his nicotine chewing cum in his car after he’d had a lift for a work meeting once. 🙈🙈🙈

I messaged my boss to let him know there were two deaf guests in one of the rooms at the yh I work at. (I’m case of alarms not being heard if they went off). Unfortunately I said there were two dead guests. That caused a bit of panic.
