Today, I received 46 emails from co-workers who were using reply-all to tell everyone else not to use reply-all. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

A pin drop
Today, I received a "Reply All" email from a colleague, in which they vented their frustration with our boss. Unbeknownst to them, our boss was included in the distribution list. Our whole open plan office became a silent comedy of awkward glances. FML

Three cheers for the boobies
Today, I sent a reply-all email to my entire company that said "Go tit" instead of "Got it". 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

Never cross the streams
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

I'm outta here
Today, I received an email from my boss announcing a new company policy that everyone already hates. Meaning to vent, I typed a snarky reply meant for my friend, saying, "Guess we’re all fucking robots now, huh?" I'd hit "Reply All" instead. Now the entire office, including my boss, knows exactly what I think. FML

No fun allowed
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

Who's the moron now?
Today, before I could realise what I was doing, I replied-all to an email chain about a huge company issue, saying, "FFS, this is ridiculous and moronic, and so is upper management." I’m still employed, but everyone now avoids me like I’m radioactive. FML

How does this keep happening?
Today, I meant to forward an email to my coworker with the message “Can you believe this crap?” referring to our client’s request. Instead, I hit “Reply All.” The client responded: “Yes, I can believe it. And I expect it done by Friday.” FML

What are your unpopular opinions?
Today, during a work diversity seminar, everyone was asked to share “one unpopular opinion.” Thinking it would be funny, I admitted I actually enjoy replying-all to unnecessary company emails because I like the chaos. Nobody laughed. HR asked to “have a quick chat” afterwards. FML

Use replay-all and send the 47th mail

Been there - people at my work tend to send group emails, often Union related, to hundreds if not thousands of contacts - like the entire staff of every prison and court location - and among the meaningless Reply All drivel like 'here here' there are always at least a dozen who reply to all to say, take me off this group email and stop hitting Reply All. Fortunately our work emails use Outlook and I just create a rule to send all future emails with that subject line into the junk folder. We get enough irrelevant rubbish to read each day without this.

And the office redundancy continues...

This sounds like something my coworkers would do on purpose to annoy people.

Bingo. It's to annoy the one person who replied to all to criticize the first person, who more than likely hit reply to all by accident out if habbit, Or everyone is trying to be funny to lighten up the day. Either way I just roll with it. It usually happens once for every new hire.

A similar thing happened where I work OP. One person accidentally sent a group message to every member of office staff in the company, we came into work to about 2000 emails from people clicking 'reply all'!
