I volunteer for a helpline. This morning, all volunteers got an email from the rota secretary about vacant slots on the rota. I quote:

“If you haven’t signed up yet there are some gays we would like you to fill. Urgently”.

My 10 year old son is obsessed with ducks. I texted him a photo of one and said “I bet you can’t wait to hold this fuck!” He couldn’t quite believe what I had done, and has told EVERYONE BlushGrin

An email sent round the office 10 years ago from Jack asked us if we could support him with his sponsored wank.

I do hope you were suitably supportive @TargusEasting :)

I'm a translator and do a lot of press releases. You would not believe the number of times I have put "pubic" instead of "public Blush.

I work in IT, more than once I've had emails reporting issues with dick space/ hard dicks.

I once started an email "dear county", but I missed out the o.

Luckily, noticed before I hit send

Sent out an email once - 'Can anyone do an extra shit on Saturday?'

No takers, unsurprisingly.

I’d have replied with “ why does it have to be on Saturday?”

To my boss 'I appreciate you're really busty'

To be fair she emailed back 'I think you have me beat there'
