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

The ole answer/forward conundrum
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

Off to a good start!
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

Many such cases
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

Sent from my beach towel
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

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.

... Don't you check the subject field of an email? Usually emails will have "FW: ___" if you're forwarding, or "RE: ___" for replying. + I agree with #3. #1: Not all workplaces use Outlook express. What happens if it's a company email? + if you're going to mock, you might as well do it on the phone or at home or whatever. At work? Lol what are you, 5?
