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 Blush

It will soon be wiped from his memory.

I once emailed another branch and put “please do not contact me with any queries”. I meant “please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries”. Mortified.

I recently emailed someone at an organisation I work for and told them I was due to do a shit with another colleague on Saturday.

A good few years ago now I used to count the church collection with the vicar's wife.

In a hurry one day I intended to send a text saying "please tell your wife I will do the count on Sunday"

What I actually put was "please tell your wife I will do the cunt on Sunday"

One missing letter made an entirely different

I once cheerily invited my former colleagues to sign up for 'Secret Satan'

I salute your style

DM sent newly retired DF shopping with a hand written list. On it was loo rolls. DF came back with one hundred bread rolls.

Hahahha I love that. It sounds like you've just had enough.

I once had an OOO on for two weeks that said I was on anal leave.

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/12/2019 06:29

Omg. The POO email is mild in comparison to some of these clangers. And how can you come home with 100 rolls?? 😂😂

originaldomesticgodess · 12/12/2019 06:36

Mummyoflittledragon....I'm fairness to DF they had been discussing requirements for up coming BBQ and thought DM was planning ahead. But one hundred rolls...😂😂😂😂

Lysianthus · 12/12/2019 06:37

Don’t worry about it. Last week I sent all my managers an email asking them to update their anal leave.

cricketmum84 · 12/12/2019 06:44

I almost sent an email to a head of dept last night asking about some of her teams shits.

Thank god I noticed just before I hit send and changed to SHIFTS!

StealthPolarBear · 12/12/2019 06:47

I sent a cheery message to a colleague which began
Hell David!

Mynameisrow · 12/12/2019 07:09

My boss is called Alan. I sent him a message on Skype saying ‘Morning Anal! You ready?’

Blackbird1234 · 12/12/2019 07:38

I wanted to offer a client of mine a discount, so I sent her an email asking her if she would like a very generous “discocunt”... I didn’t hear back.

SquishyLint · 12/12/2019 07:48

Not that bad, but I was answered a phone call “John Lewis, how can I help?”

I don’t work for John Lewis, or anything even similar. Never have.

Wherearemyminions · 12/12/2019 08:02

Got asked to pretty up a document and messaged my boss back saying "Will do some twerking tonight" My phone does not like the work tweak and seems to think twerk is in my everyday vocab!

Greygooseorchid · 12/12/2019 08:04

That’s nothing, I worked for an insurance company and had to send an email to another department within the company and had to also send a copy of the email to the customer to was about. I can’t remember word for word what I wrote, but I do remember what I meant to write was “this customer” I wrote “this cunter ” 🤦🏻‍♀️. I was mortified!!

charley50 · 12/12/2019 08:17

DiscoCunt 😂

Messaging a Tinder match, I told him I was in Hamas...I meant I was in my jamas. Never heard from him again!

butterpuffed · 12/12/2019 08:28

My daughter and I were chatting away on Whats App. After a while she said 'Must go, have to wank DH' . She meant 'wake'.

redcarbluecar · 12/12/2019 08:40

Some of these are really funny. ‘John Lewis how can I help?’ when you don’t work there Smile I laughed out loud at butterpuffed too.

Many moons ago I wrote to 6 beneficiaries of a will, in which a grandfather clock had been bequeathed. I can't remember the exact details of what was happening, but basically they had to decide what they wanted to do with it as it had been bequeathed to them all as a class.

The heading I typed underlined and in bold was Mr B Smith deceased - Grandfather Cock

I think I was confused because it was their grandfather's will and a grandfather clock. None of the beneficiaries mentioned it, but my boss did. Blush

I told him I was in Hamas
