To have told colleague I'd would do a poo

[chellochello]

Most embarrassing day of my life - I have sent an email to a young male Collegue saying these exact words 'OK I will do a POO'

Now what I should have said was 'ok I will raise a PO' (purchase order) but in my rush I typed the above am I'm just mortified- he did place my order so he knew what I really meant and he hasn't said anything about it but I'm so embarrassed

Oh I'm sure you made his day .

Love the stories here.

I also sent my MD an email signed off as ABBA - yes I am the dancing queen. And also think I am Allah..Must proof read as my posts here prove..

I once emailed a recruitment manager with my CV and said I hoped to be accepted into the “talent poo” instead of talent pool, I will screenshot the email now as proof and post it!

Here it us

I've sent a letter to Cunty Headquarters before too. Many moons ago on a typewriter so no spellcheck. It had already gone in the post when I got round to filing the carbon copy

I had a friend who once said in an email to a customer "I hope this didn't cause you any incontinence" instead of inconvenience. She was mortified at the autocorrect fail!

Talent poo

These are brilliant! I once received a CV from a hard working acuntant

Not as bad as when I sent a VERY important email to a VERY important senior manager some years ago, with the title 'here is a summary of Mr Harrison's accunt.'

Still funny though @chellochello

I once sent a text meant for DH to a male work colleague Luckily it was soppy but not rude and it was obvious who it was for but I was mortified!

Why did you rush the email?
Did you need to poo

In my former job, we once received an email asking if we would be prepared to do 12 hour shits (instead of shifts) to cover a colleagues annual leave. Boss was mortified, I thought it was funny.

Trust me, this will work

Emmeline to be fair, I’d rather cause inconvenience than incontinence 😂

There is a good chance he did not notice. Often people only read the first couple of words in a confirmation email and scan over the rest.

😂 Brilliant! Moons ago I worked in sales, we had clearance offers on disks. I group emailed Over 1000 clients offering them free dicks with orders over x amount/ with certain products. oh and the MD was cc'd in, he replied asking when we had started selling Anne summers products 🤣

Haha AutumnRose. The funny thing was that it was to a customer who was upset about her water bill!

Brilliant thread.

I once emailed my big boss to say I was too busty to attend a meeting.

Oh OP this is wonderful

Capital letters and all

I once sent a text in which I was moaning about my horrible old boss...to my boss’ landline instead of my Mum. Now, I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a landline text, but it’s read out by a computer voice. Very slowly and painstakingly.

Just laugh it off , I’m forever sending emails to Booby on my team by accident - it’s become an in joke between us

I once marked an essay about disability issues except the writer had the word statistic incorrectly say spastic multiple times. Because of the context of the essay it wasn’t instantly recognisable as a mistake. I just thought omg this is going to have to go to the head.

I don’t think I’ve seen a student be so embarrassed since.

Someone I worked with once sent a telex (if anyone can remember what one of those was!!) to a supplier asking 'please confirm how long your prics will remain firm' instead of prices . Telex went through realtime so no way of changing it.

Apparently they had it stuck up their noticeboard for a number of years!

I changed Shropshire to Shropshite

I am crying with laughter at this thread 😂

Ooh, and I just remembered one. Not an autocorrect but similar. One of our directors had a long job title. Skype automatically truncated it, in all situations, to: “Director of Consumer Pricing and Anal”.
