:roll:  :roll:  It's one of my biggest fears realized :roll:   Ish talking about someone through text or email and accidentally sending it to them because they are obviously in the front of your brain at the moment :roll:  

I did something similar in college.  I was on the executive board and we had an email chain among the officers.  Well, one of them we were removing from their position because they wern't doing their job.  So I *thought* they were already off the discussion and I said "So to be clear, we are kicking Matt out in tomorrows meeting".

 

That's how he found out :ph34r:

    Just got back from my mother's oncologist. They're really happy with the results of her latest CT Scan. All of the cancer has reduced a little. So a really good report. 

  • Proud of this girl.  Eleventy billion push ups, sit ups, squats, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, planks, combinations, self defenses and weapon katas later in the cold and wind she earned her black

  • I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer in November. They removed my thyroid gland right before Thanksgiving. Post surgical blood test showed a thyroid globulin number of a 6, which is above the threshold

similar experience: i'm a big fan of My Blue Heaven with steve martin (this will fit into the story*). years ago, we used to keep an IM window up for all the scale operators, inside sales, CS agents, ect daily for instant communications for moving aggregates across the city/state. unspoken rule was, first one in the office would start the IM and hit a custom IM group (made up of 40-50 employees). whomever would start it would initiate the conversation with just a simple greeting. one morning i happened to come in early, fired up the cpu and instantly an IM popped up from an coworker i knew very well with just ''Good Morning''.

I responded with F*** You....but without the censors. 

i chuckled at my reference to the supermarket scene from My Blue Heaven reference until magically all the names of invited coworkers started popping up.

i was gasping NO  NO NO no no no like a broker watching his stock plummet. 

I once recommended a friend for a job at my company and he got it.  The day before he started, they had already set up his email account, so I thought it would be nice to welcome him to the company with an appropriate welcome message consisting only of the word 'TURD'.

Turns out, there was a Vice President with the same name as my friend who sat one floor below me.

:sad:

Hunt & B3, i'm guessing neither instance could have been remedied with the ''DAMMIT AUTOCORRECT'' clause ?

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:  Like it never happened.

oh no...not for mine. i had literally just spoken to her & seen the latest boyfriend before sending my text. :lol:   there really wasn't any way to claim autocorrect on that one. or even bs my way out of it...although i tried anyway. 

she's extremely non-confrontational so it didn't turn into a "thing"....but i'm 100% sure she didn't buy my story. :lol: 

Is her name similar to your wife's, as in next to her on your contact list.  It is, isn't it?

names aren't even close...but the ex wife's text exchange was open because she had just sent me something about our kid.  99% of my text are to my wife so i must've assumed that's the text discussion that was open. 

oops!

IM got me in trouble once too.

A few of my work friends went to a PSU tailgate one weekend.  The next Monday my one buddy was pinging me of all these photos of the drunken shenanigan's. At the same time I'm having an IM conversation with the partner on a new project I just joined.  She was making these plans for me to come in a few weeks earlier, have me get started before the rest of the team gets there, it would be great to meet you and blah blah blah.   So while I'm having that convo trying to make a good first impression, my buddy is sending me these photos in a different IM window, to which I reply "I'm going to kill you, you f***** ****"....... 

 

....but I never clicked into his window and sent that message to the partner :ph34r:

no idea...never saw him outside of the car. i wasn't worried about that at all, tbh. i'm a rock solid 5'2 120 lbs...so i'm sure i would've kicked his azzzz. :flex:

enough to crush that pasty hall of fame trophy you got hanging.

wait....sorry son, thought you was someone else. i'm inclined to follow up that apology with a reasoning...see i'm a tad inebriated given it's not quite lunch yet and that's typically when i've had my first cup of joe. i'm sure you understand.  

Bright side, boyfriend probably wound up dumping the ex for having had the bad judgement to marry such a careless dope.

Text should have a recall feature.   I have posted before about having a breathalyzer installed on devices.  Have sent stuff out in the past that should never have gone while under the influence.  Not so much now though, I'm getting better at it (mostly ).

Brother and my sister in law refer to his ex as just  #2.  We haven't spoken her name out loud for 10 years.

I gotta be honest with you...nitwit is pretty mild compared to what I'd probably call my hypothetical ex-wife.

Would've been great if your ex texted you on "accident" after she got that:

"Looks like Rocky Dennis is here by himself again...his new wife must not want to be seen in public with him"

:lol:  it all depends on what kind of work she needs done around the house. she tends to date contractor types specializing in whatever work needs to be done at the time & then moves on to the next one once the job is finished. come to think of it, i think she was having car problems..so this one is probably a mechanic. :roll:
