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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 typed an essay on my friend's computer, so she forwarded it to me in a email and she made the subject "here bitch" as a joke. I then went to email the essay to my teacher. I forwarded it thinking nothing of it only to realize that I didn't change the subject name. FML
Today, I "answered" an email instead of "forwarding" it. As a result, there is a chance that my Master's thesis supervisor gets a message from me starting by the F-word, and complaining about my bad work and inability to understand a deadline. FML
Today, I received an email from a potential employer with an awesome job opportunity. I was so excited, I immediately went to forward the email to my husband. My email included a lot of "I love you" and "we are going to celebrate tonight ;)". In my excitement, I hit reply instead of forward. FML
Today, I had an argument with my boss and tried to text a friend about it. I accidentally texted my boss instead. 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 received an office-wide email about our new boss. I meant to forward it to my friend with, “He looks like he eats mayonnaise straight from the jar.” However, I hit "Reply All" instead. Including said new boss. FML
Today, I sent a reply-all email to my entire company that said "Go tit" instead of "Got it". FML
Today, I meant to send a cheeky “I’m out of the office” reply to my team but instead hit “reply all” on an email chain with my entire company, including my boss, HR, and some clients. The message included a joke about “sleeping through meetings” that was NOT work-appropriate. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

i dont really understand this FML. Seems OVERLY dumb, I mean.... you hit reply FIRST, then it goes to the message, then you write it and push send, of course, ESPECIALLY if your making fun of someone, checking to make sure its going to the right place.

First off, if the co-worker's e-mail made them look stupid, they deserve to know they are retarded... #2- Outlook still lets you recall e-mails. You just open the sent e-mail and go to "other actions" on the action tab and recall message.

OP doesn't sound too smart, but you idiots don't have to be dicks about it. Accidents happen, it's an FML for a reason, calling them dumb for mistakes so blatantly and offensively makes you a failure of aperson ^^

if you are forwarding an email to someone, you'd have to type in their email address, so how could you accidentally send it to the wrong person? fake.

obviously, you type in the email AFTER you press forward.

This is dumb. When you hit forward you need to type in your friends email address or select their name from a list. So if you hit reply by mistake instead, you're going to type your friends name in to the To: field still anyway (cause you're thinking you pressed forward) and it won't go back to the person who sent it. Your friend will still get it but the subject will say RE: instead of FW: You'd also notice that the To: field has been automatically populated with the original senders email address when you go to enter your friends address.. so youd realise before you send it unless you're a total knob lol.
