To have told colleague I'd would do a poo

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

I sent a passive aggressive email to a different department lots of “as per my last email” standard office speak for read the email you moron and then to emphasize my point I signed off with regards instead of kind regards but autocorrect changed it to retards.
I felt awful!

When I was a trainee in an office I was doing some mail merge letters and addressed one to ‘Mr Moorsballs’ the MD thought is was hilarious & even hung it on the wall!

'I appreciate that you're really busty'
Not me, but I know several people who've done that.

I once signed an email off with ‘Kind Retards’

DarlingNikita · 13/12/2019 10:55

I'd just done a 24-hour fart and was feeling a bit washed out. Grin Grin Grin

Similar to the loo/100 rolls my aunt sent my cousin to the shops to buy crackers on Xmas Eve. He came back with Jacob's Cream Crackers.

An easy mistake to make and a damn sight cheaper too! I think in his position i would have done the same tbh

DarlingNikita · 13/12/2019 13:14

Yeah, I'd probably assume they meant crackers for cheese!

Londongirl86 · 13/12/2019 13:16

Just crack a joke in another email and correct yourself. Don't be silly haha

AutumnRose1 · 13/12/2019 13:30

Responding with a joke...hmmm

I guess once the purchase order is sorted, you could email and say “just an update on my POO”.

I was working in rehab where every Sunday we weighed the clients after breakfast. It was my turn to weigh everyone and we had a straggler. I approached him at the dining table and asked him if he would like to come and get laid. The whole place erupted into fits, but I was so mortified.

Absolutely weeping at some of these (autocorrect wanted to change weeping to either weeing or seeping Grin). Love the ones telling everyone to bring their willies and the person who emailed Deaf Bill 😂

On Christmas Eve? When your Mum has just given you £20 to buy the crackers?

Harls1969 · 13/12/2019 17:00

I'm pretty sure the colleague would have had a giggle but realised what you meant. I'd have emailed back saying "Whoops, I meant PO!" but don't worry about it. Most of my colleagues would not be surprised to receive an email like this from me, knowing my habit of oversharing 😂

Morning, everyone. We've had a few nominations for this thread to go into Classics. We're going to move it there now.

Ohfrigginghellers · 16/12/2019 10:15

I once sent an email for my then boyfriend to my boss by accident as they had the same first name. God it was so embarrasing.

DarlingNikita · 16/12/2019 11:51

Yes, because I'd assume we wanted crackers and cheese on Christmas Eve and/or Day.

AutumnRose1 · 16/12/2019 12:05

Thank you Hebe.

I laughed so hard at these I forgot my own. I needed to put a load of stuff in storage and said to my male colleague “right, it’s time we went to find a cupboard”. 😳

AutumnRose1 · 16/12/2019 12:06

Btw I’d buy crackers for cheese too!

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 16/12/2019 16:16

I experienced a cracker- mistake the other way around once. I was organising a Christmas lunch where everybody was supposed to bring some food along, and I sent out a list of items to choose from. I had put crackers on there. I did think, should I be more specific and say "crackers for cheese" but then thought "nah, it's a list of foods, and I've specified a maximum spend of £3, surely it's obvious what I mean". Well, it wasn't, because the numpty I'd assigned that item to turned up with Christmas crackers, and he'd only managed to stay below the spending limit by getting them from the pound shop. We ate the cheese by itself while wearing our little paper crowns.

I was once messaging a friend and complained about suffering with ‘gay fever’ 🤦🏼‍♀️

I meant ‘hay fever’

My DD went through a phase of being obsessed with ducks. I was messaging my sister about a massive rubber duck we’d seen in a shop and instead wrote “MiniNinja would love that big black dick!”

My sister found it hilarious! 🙈😂

AutumnRose1 · 17/12/2019 21:49

I think autocorrect is starting to do stuff on purpose

I just sent an email to my cousin

Instead of “here’s the link” it tried to say “here’s the kink”.

JorahsMistress · 18/12/2019 11:44

Yesterday i told my dd we were having she puppies for dinner Confused

I meant shepherds pie! Grin

glasgow357 · 03/01/2020 02:24

So many of these have been seen a million times before on the internet! Almost word for word. The 100 rolls thing has been about for YEARS on about 10 different websites. There's even pictures if you google it in a tonne of different handwriting. Just saying.

OvenGlovesWillTearUsApart · 03/01/2020 02:58

Was it a cutted up poo 💩 though?
