To ask you to tell me your email fails

[Pandaa]

After accidentally sending an email to the wrong person today at work, please tell me your email fails to make myself feel better!

@ktld

I was writing a schedule of the day once for a supply teacher covering my class, at 10:30 I put “give children a light smack after break time”

SNACK. A light SNACK- I was mortified 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Cloe78

Brain 😂😂😂😂
Made me laugh so much

We would have our case findings proof read by a colleague before sending to client (High level complaints). My colleague electronically changed my name to Kleew 'SMELLY PANTS' surname. I didn't pick up on it and sent the email...

got a gift of a pregnancy photoshoot, think boudoir style. Got an email from the photographer with the pictures and decided to forward them to DP. Sent them to a work colleague with the same first name. only found out when asked DP what he thought of photos, spoke to colleague who very graciously said he had not read his emails and would delete ones from me. dont know if he ever did

Not an email, but a phonecall.
Was wanting to ring my husband from my office phone. Our phones are connected to our company contacts on our computers. So I typed in my husbands name (I have families numbers in my contacts too) and hit dial.
Next thing this strange voice answers, I sit surprised for a while and then ask can I speak to my husband (using his actual name), the voice on the phone replies, speaking, I reply, nope definitely not husband, voice replies back, honestly you are speaking to the right person. So I get annoyed thinking husband is taking the piss out of me, I give off and laugh saying, honestly I think I know my own husbands voice and hang up.

I realise a few moments later when I go to use my computer that there is someone in my company with the same name as my husband 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully I have never had to speak to this person since.

Dicking Station instead of docking station

My manager is called Angus. I did unfortunately miss the g out once so wrote Dear Anus. I am tempted to do it again whenever he annoys me

This is the second funniest thing I have seen all day (after Ru Paul’s Drag Race U.K.)

My DH received an email that made him very angry. He hit the reply to all button (this included the head of department and several professors) and typed a very ranty reply. The system crashed as he was doing it, he'd calmed down by then and was really worried the email had actually been sent. Fortunately it hadn't.

@shotofchips - How did that play out?

I've typed SHIT allowance instead of SHIFT allowance a few times.

Not email, but WhatsApp in a work chat group. One colleague's name is Natalie so I call her Nats or Natsy for short, except once I said 'Hi NASTY' facepalm

I've been the recipient of a few accidental 'reply to all' emails that were very definitely not meant to be sent to all. One ended up in a full on slanging match for about three days. I was quite pissed off when one of the other recipients replied to the two people involved with 'you do realise all 40 of us can see what you're saying, don't you?' and it abruptly stopped. To this day, I never found out how it ended.

@justineboober

"Kind regards" has become "Kind retards" on more than one occasion.

You can set a rule that changes ‘retards’ to ‘regards’ automatically I had to do it as when would I ever use ‘retards’?

I took out a grievance against an ex manager who then, as part of that process, sent an email meant for someone else to me by mistake

I didn't say a word to her about it but it made me dance inside

When emailing a prospectus to numerous lawyers on a public offering of shares a couple of years ago, I accidentally wrote pubic offering instead of public in heading of email.

Hi Gays is my favourite, along with an old one I read on here, I think. The person was speaking to a German colleague and finished with "If you have any Fuhrer questions please do not hesitate etc etc"

Not me but a colleague was once having a terse email exchange with someone from another company (it was a policy/political thing) which he was secretly enjoying all the tense back and forth. He got a ranty email and forwarded the email with the comment “ooh handbags!” To what he thought was his colleague but actually he’d hit reply.

Cue grovelling emails and phone calls to sort it out.

Thank you for all these 😃 dreading going into work today!!!

Attempted to set up a Zoom meeting for me and one other person to discuss an account. Accidentally sent it to 190 people in the dept. Surprising how many turned up with only 6 minutes notice!

So @Pandaa what did you send???

@justineboober

"Kind regards" has become "Kind retards" on more than one occasion.

This but 'I've forwarded your details to our accocunts department'

I asked my brownies to bring old shits or aprons for cooking.

Could have been smelly!

In my first week in the job I sent a shag list to everybody and his dog instead of a snag list. I regularly got emails with suggestions to add to the list

In the police sent one to my colleague who had left, had rather unfortunate nicknames for each other, Sent one to him but had actually sent it to a commander, started email hello nickname how you doing? Any gossip etc. Went on my Merry way, came in saw an email from a name I didn’t know but same surname, he was a good sport and replied hello nickname I’m good thanks, work is busy, no gossip, you? Love commander surname xxx

I emailed back apologising, he said it was nice to get an email that was lighthearted.

Not me but one of my work colleagues. She had been texting her boyfriend just prior to finishing an email for the entire department and accidentally wrote 'love you' at the end instead of 'thank you'
