Today, I was writing an email to our entire company regarding a fundraiser we are taking part in for children and adults with disabilities. I was rushing to get the email out and hit send before I realized that instead of "Best Regards" I had typed "Best Retards" as the closing line. FML

Today, I was emailing my department about a huge meeting we’re going to have. I was also emailing back and forth with another colleague about office gossip. I absentmindedly replied to the wrong email. I hit reply all to the meeting e-mail, saying that the new supervisor of X department was "so fucking retarded." FML

Today, I meant to forward an email to my friend mocking a coworker's email, but I hit "reply" instead of "forward". FML

Today, while at work at a maternity and baby clothes store, I was supposed to send out an email about our "Beat the Clock" sale. After it was sent to over 500 people, I realized that I'd misspelled the subject line. It read, "Beat the Cock Sale." FML

Adding insult to injury

Today, I sent a polite yet strongly-worded email to one of my corporate clients in which I expressed my irritation at being asked the same question by the same team for the 4th day in a row. I ended it with "Regards!" but accidentally swapped the 'g' with a 't'. FML

Hi how are you?

Today, I texted my boss, "I'm looking forward to doing you" instead of, "I'm looking forward to seeing you" thanks to a very unfortunate combination of my atrocious typing skills on a smartphone and an overzealous autocorrect function. FML

Today, I accidentally sent a text message meant for my best friend to my boss. The text was about how much I hated my job and my boss's constant micromanagement. FML

Today, I was talking to a co-worker about birth control. Ten minutes later, I went to my sent e-mails to copy and reuse an old e-mail and realized I had sent "I tried calling you but your birth control is not working" to a student. It was supposed to say "voicemail". FML

Stolen from: http://ruminations.com/ruminations/16691 Nice originality on this site. As if three-quarters of the posts aren't fake to begin with.

They weren't referring to people with disabilities as retarded, it's just that being mentally retarded is considered a disability.

#42 making words bad is such a made up PC culture sack of bullshit. This person obviously cares for differently abled people, otherwise he/she wouldn't be doing the fundraiser. Words are only bad in the context where the intention is to harm another person in some way. This is funny because the general population is so ingrained in PC semantics that they can't grasp the concept of a meaningless typo.

haha this is great! and to #21 and #41, do you think that the guy on ruminations is the only one ever to make this typo? brilliant. i bet he's also the only one who has accidentally typed "i'm gonna lick your ass" because he missed the "k" key, too.
