I have just sent an email about someone to that person. I was attempting to send it to my friend but hit reply and not forward. I am mortified!

Please tell me if you have ever done this and the worst example of this to make me feel better! My stomach is in knots I'm so ashamed.

I once meant to send a text to a friend updating her on a second date. I described what I thought was going to be a night of passion ahead of me and accidentally sent it to my DAD! He was next to her in the phone book. Mortified! Blush
Also my Mum once sent a text to my DP telling him she wanted him. She tried to pretend it was a mistake but it wasn't and her only mistake was thinking that he wouldn't tell me and that I wouldn't pull her on it! That's a whole other thread! Confused

I've sent a frustrated email about someone at work mucking things up, meant for my friend but sent to the person that kept mucking things up.

I was mortified. She was rubbish at her job but lovely and had very very low self esteem and I was convinced she'd get better if someone just tried with her so I'd been trying to help her, but she mucked things up so I vented, to the wrong person. Nearly 20 years on I still feel guilty as I know it will have affected her confidence. I learnt my lesson though and have never emailed or texted anything bad about anyone again.

OH got a late night text from his auntie - she meant to send it to her new boyfriend. We thought it was very funny. She took it all in her stride (she's lovely).

My MIL sent me a text meant for SIL slagging me off once. That was pleasant...

Goingtobe well, in my case the builder turned up like RoadRunner for his cheque and catsbumface looked like she was going to lamp me in the meeting... Grin

I thought I sent a friend a work a ranting email about my manager, setting out why I was so fed up, why they never listened and never supported me... I obviously didn't send it to my friend but my manager... worked out well though as we resolved the issues and work was a much better place to be.

I was horrified though and still cringe about it!!!

I sent a bunch of harmless texts to the person whose name was over my boyfriends in my phone - bring home milk, I'll be late etc. We really didn't get on, but shared a hobby so saw each other a bit.
Unfortunately he told a mutual friend who thought it was hilarious, robbed my phone in the pub one night and proceeded to send a stream of completely filthy and tremendously imaginative texts to him. I found them in my Sent folder a few months on and realised why he had been avoiding me more than normal!

Goingtobeawesome he was indeed!
We were together just a few months - I was not in a position to fall into another relationship- but he was a lovely man.

He made me feel loved, sexy and valued at a time when my confidence was on the floor. He was a great strength to me. We're not in touch but we bump into each other every few years and have a chat.

I am now married to the man of my dreams.
