This is why you shouldn't read your emails in public

[Fraca]

Just received an email from a colleague - the email was entitled "Shits Today". She's sent it to approximately 100 people and I wish, more than I've wished for anything in a long time, that I could see a) her face when she realises what she's sent, and b) read the replies she gets.

Im in a cafe and am trying very very hard not to laugh out loud!

Why are some people being rude to OP. It’s a funny whoopsie. I’m sure OP doesn’t need to “control” themself. Nasty people who take life too seriously.

This is quite a sweet, amusing thread apart from the mean comments trying to put the OP down. You could always just scroll past if you don't find it that funny. Why take the time just to be nasty?

This made me giggle 😂

I've sent emails before about pubic health (yes, more than once, fucking autocorrect).

Honestly the smallest giggle can become uncontrolled laughing when your trying NOT to laugh my mom threatening to murder me and my sibling during prayers at a wedding because I had a stray thought snickered a little tried to move on my sibling asked me wth? So I shared she then snickered we both then tried to stop and couldn't we were in a very old church on a rickey pew and were vibrating it to the degree my mother found out her face coupled with her threats didn't help stop the situation it made it worse

Some people get the giggles over nothing

Just another normal day on AIBU then.

Pun intended?

They could just say nothing, but they must just be incredibly miserable and hate their sad little lives.

😂😂that made me LOL

Maybe some of the fun sponges on this thread are just a bit hangry.

As MN has taught us, something that's boil-in-the-vag is always quick and simple.

Thank you to the posters who found my op amusing, to those who have shared funny typos of their own, and to those who have been supportive.

I hate to be that person but I'm going to do it anyway - please be aware when making remarks like "get a hobby", "you must be fun", "nothing better to worry about" etc. that you have no idea of the circumstances of anyone else on here.

As a very keen, newly qualified teacher I sent an email home to a parent praising the excellent work their child had completed and signed it off “kind retards” I was mortified and called the parent to apologise and she found it absolutely hilarious.
Taught me the lesson of proofreading EVERYTHING before it is sent!

"Shite manager" 😆.

A few months ago I signed off an email to one of my superiors, someone I get on with when I interact with them but certainly don't exactly chat to often, so not really something we will be able to jointly and wistfully laugh about - "Hope you have a lonely holiday" - meaning lovely, in response to her saying she was going away.

I still think about it and cringe, though admittedly it isn't the worst faux pas I've heard it's still awful when it happens to you!

When it comes to very specific (and very amusing) German words, Backpfeifengesicht has to be one of the best - meaning a face that is just begging to be slapped

Not an email but I once had a text from a friend of mine who is very proper which said we needed to leave soon as it was getting late and the shops would be shit.

Other classics are a colleague placing a recruitment advert in the local paper saying the salary would commiserate with your experience. And she put the wrong phone number on it so some poor sod had multiple phone calls for an application form on their home phone.

I started a new job and was given some old proposals to read through as part of my training. One had been sent out with the words ‘chocolate mouse to delight the pallet’.

Jeez, some of the humourless posters on here! Me and DD have a book of misprints, typos and misspeakings that we read and laugh at together.

My own... message from DH when he was out to dinner with friends but I was too ill to join them. "Shall I bring you back a doggy vag?"

Er, no thanks!

I hate to be that person but I'm going to do it anyway - please be aware when making remarks like "get a hobby", "you must be fun", "nothing better to worry about" etc. that you have no idea of the circumstances of anyone else on here.

Well said. For some reason, there are a lot of people who seem to think that other people are clearly wasting time with pointless frivolities on MN; whereas they are being very resourceful and important - doing the exact same thing, on the exact same threads!

Someone at my work had to send an important client an apology for an error and it went to a lot of people. Instead of typing sorry for any concern this has caused you she wrote sorry for any constipation this has caused you. I always crack up when I remember 🤣

Oh gosh op, thanks for this thread, I really needed a laugh today!

"Please find enclosed our floppy dick"

This was a LONG time ago.
I'm sure it happened a lot.
We still laughed and laughed and laughed.

OP, it's OK to laugh in public.
I sometimes listen to comedy when I am out running. Running along laughing looks completely bonkers!

Constipation instead of concern!!!

I can see how inconvenience could easily be mistyped/autocorrected to 'incontinence'; but that one's a cracker

Did typing out and sending this patronising reply make you feel better about yourself? 🙄

I knew that would be the issue. I once had a colleague send me an email with that exact same typo and it tripped the profanity filter and sent him an automatic warning 😂

I sent out a shagging list to about 50 people in my first week of a new job, took a while to live that one down.

I bet you're fun at parties ..
