Today, I found a website that lets you write an email to yourself from "the past". I used my boss's address, and wrote a long email about how much I hate him, signed from me. It worked, and he'll receive it in 6 months, after I move away. He's already received the confirmation email, though. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, HR sent a review email to me asking me to anonymously tell them about my boss. I decided to use this opportunity to tell them what a dick he was. I printed off the review, filled it out, then scanned and emailed it to myself. Or so I thought. Turns out I'd sent the review to my boss. FML
Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML
Today, I sent my resumé to a former coworker to get some pointers, except that I sent it to his old work email account and now my boss knows I’m looking for a new job. FML
Today, I sent an email to my boss saying I'd fixed a glitch in our mail servers. He called me later, angrily shouting that I'd done a piss-poor job of fixing it, because my email had spammed his inbox with several hundred duplicate messages. FML
Today, I was cleaning out my email folders and found a message I'd sent myself five years ago with the subject "IMPORTANT." I opened it, expecting something useful. It was a reminder saying, "Remember to look up what this is about." I apparently trusted future me far too much. FML
Today, my boss sent me a link on how to write a good resignation letter. FML
Today, I emailed my crush an anonymous love letter. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that I realized that the email address I used contained my full name. FML
Today, I sent an email to my boss about a sensitive project. After hitting send and getting a response, I remembered I'd set my automatic reply to say, "I'm currently out of the office, enjoying a much-needed break from all the idiots I work with." My boss was not amused when he replied and got the automatic email in return. FML
Today, I wanted to rub my success in my ex's face to get her back for breaking my heart. I typed the perfect email, included every detail of opening my own business, buying my own home and cleverly intertwined insults. A few hours later, she replied, "That’s nice. Who’s this?" FML
Today, I decided to write a romantic email to my boyfriend describing how much I love and miss him. An hour later, I got an email back saying, "I think we need to discuss this." It seems I sent it to my teacher by mistake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Perhaps you should have tested it first to see how it worked. Sorry to say, but YDI because of that.

You're an idiot. Not because of the confirmation email, but for doing this in the first place. What happens when a future employer calls in two years wanting a reference interview from your boss? Idiot, idiot, idiot. And before you think, "I just won't list him as a reference in the future," please let me give a word of warning to everyone. I work for a company that does background checking. We call old employers for references. We do NOT only take references from the people you have listed, because we realize that (1) people give fake references all the time, and (2) even if your references are real, obviously you're going to choose people who will give you good reviews. So we call the company, ask for HR or whoever is in charge, and then ask for a list of your supervisors and managers, so that we can see what ALL the people in charge really think. So please, people, don't be dumb enough to do this.

On the contrary. The more there's dumbasses out there doing such things, the better it is for the smarter people who know how to behave in polite society. We should all encourage idiots to shoot themselves in the foot like that. In a time of crisis, it's better for the rest of us if they screw their own chances from the start, as it makes the race easier for the rest. Of course, that would be without counting Karma in the mix, so technically, you warning them is still probably the best move on the long run. ;)

Confirmation email? Huh?

Sucks but that was kind of a dumb thing to do. xD; You could have just emailed him when you moved away instead.

35, you have no right putting anyone down, seeing as you can't even spell "moron".

35, you have no right putting anyone else down. Maroon is a color. I believe "moron" was the word you were looking for. Still, OP, that was a pretty stupid idea. Good luck getting a job in the future!

I could be wrong, but he could be referencing Bugs Bunny? In the Looney Tunes cartoons, when another character would do something dumb, Bugs used to say "what a maroon!" Just a thought *shrug*

also, maroon can be used as an insult.
