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

Can you go to sleep during a 24 hour fart?

thecatneuterer · 12/12/2019 13:32

Not rude - just absurd. I just yesterday sent someone a message saying that the vet would be able to tell if the cat had recently had kittens by looking at her Tweets. (Should have been teats). If only cats could give us information via Twitter life would be so much easier.

@Wallywobbles

I would have peed myself laughing if someone said that to me Grin.

AutumnRose1 · 12/12/2019 13:53

In fairness, the cat probably would tweet if she’d had kittens 😂
It’s the way to announce these things now

Pretty sure my husband has this syndrome. I'll ask him.

So sad to have got to the end of this thread. Xmas Sad

How do we nominate it for Classics? Do we just @MNHQ

in which case, hopefully I just did Grin

I’m sure it was on Mumsnet that I read that someone had texted someone to say she had booked a Caucasian cruise. Which sounds dodgy as hell.

StVincent · 12/12/2019 16:58

Bump for more

Ticketybootoo · 12/12/2019 17:43

Don’t worry a friend of mine once said to a very senior person “ I will have to blow you off then “ - she has meant to say “i will have to blow you out “ Crown Grin

My sister sent an email to the entire company on her first day at work as the new PA to the MD. Her salutation said "Kind Retards" Grin we still laugh about it now.

I was asked to help at a church a few years ago. I had to hand out service sheets with his name typed on them. The vicars name was pronounced Canute.. However he spelt his name Knut. Someone mistyped his name, Kunt.
I remarked we can't call the vicar that it's not nice.

ohdeardaddyibrokeitagain · 12/12/2019 17:56

I sent an email to a client, she couldn't find it.
I asked her to check her sperm box. 🤦‍♂️

Emmylou1985 · 12/12/2019 17:58

If this is the most embarrassing day of your life you really need to get out more. You said poo, for goodness' sake.

JustDanceAddict · 12/12/2019 18:00

I typed ‘ill keep you in the loo’ instead of ‘keep you in the loop’ - no/one noticed 😆

Yep -don't worry - I sent out the school newsletter to 300 families, saying
'join us for a walk in the woods - but make sure you all bring your willies'

DoTheNextRightThing · 12/12/2019 18:02

My boss sent an email to an entire committee talking about "mooning".

I can't remember what the word was supposed to be but it definitely wasn't that.

AutumnRose1 · 12/12/2019 18:07

Oh I have to know what mooning was intended to be!

Sperm box and keeping people in the loo 😂

Butterfly005 · 12/12/2019 18:17

Not sure why you'd be horrified and embarassed if he's clearly understood what you meant.

It can still be embarrassing yet get its point across! Poor you, OP!

momtoboys · 12/12/2019 18:24

Once before I hung up on a conversation with a coworker I actually said "ok, thanks. Love you."

FilthyBiscuit · 12/12/2019 18:25

An old colleague used to keep a spreadsheet of her monthly analysis called Monthly Anal. She used to say "Right, time for the monthly anal". I sniggered every time she said it Grin

StarlightLady · 12/12/2019 18:30

Relax! The joys of typos and sutocorrect. If this is the worst thing you have done, you have had a very sheltered life. Just going for a poo now! Grin

purplebunny2012 · 12/12/2019 18:32

I once sent a passive aggressive email about someone in another dept to my line manager. Except I didn't. Yep, I somehow sent it to the person I was complaining about

Billythecat · 12/12/2019 18:35

In school, many moons ago, I asked a teacher if he had a ‘floppy dick’ instead of disk. I almost died- it went all around the department and so many people ended up winding me up Blush

More recently, I emailed a department about my team’s shits. I tried to recall but was unsuccessful. The first response from the scheduling team was ‘LOL’

These have made me laugh out loud.Smile
