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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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
Today, I accidentally emailed the entire company everyone's salary, sales history, and the names of four people I intended to fire. FML

Happened to my school. One single student mailed all the students who belongs to my school in the entire country. Let's just say that there were a lot of replies…

That's nothing. We had one that was sent to all 14000 employees with an email address. Had over 1000 responses saying stop replying to all by using reply all. Crashed our severs and meant IT had to reset all email accounts. Grand **** up!

I work It it is amazing how often this happens. That and oh lets use the entire company email list to send out an email about some either not important in the least or super critical that freaks everyone out... just pay attention to want you're doing.

The most "STOP USING REPLY ALL" reply all emails I've gotten was 80 in the span of an hour.
