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...

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.
