I just realised that I have just emailed the manager of HSBC Maidstone. I told her that she was a sweetie and That she would never know how much I appreciated all she does for me. Sighning off "love you lots, James"
oh bollocks, is all I can say about it at the moment

I have had a few in my time. This is probably the most cringeworthy: I once sent an email to my female boss's PA (young female) with an unfortunate typo. Wanting to get something done in a hurry, I had meant to say "I realise xxxx is incredibly busy so I thought I'd try my luck with you" Unfortunately when I hit the "y" in the word "busy", I also hit the "t" just before it. Next thing I knew I heard them both at the top of the room howling with laughter. All my boss had to say was "I'm glad you noticed! Took a while to live that one down  |

I got an e-mail from a member of staff complaining that her e-mail was "jammed on". My mind boggled with possibilities or what she actually meant.

Sighning off "love you lots, James" oh bollocks, is all I can say about it at the moment I've been pondering this. I give up - WHY did you write this email?  |

Well, he's either prostituting himself for a loan or he meant to address it to someone else.
I suspect the latter!

I used to have a young and attractive client, she was awfully propper. There was a big rush up to Christmas and I was trying to organise our workload, not wanting to miss anythining before the company shut down for Christmas. I emailed this client saying. "Hi Pippa, I'm desperately trying to get my dick in a row, can you look at the list attached and let me know if I've missed something" It was my wife who picked up the mistake, but it was be who had to rectify things .  |

I had a colleague who developed the habit of writing a draft email to vent his anger and frustrations, saying exactly what he would really like to say if social convention and career protection were not considerations. Then he would calm down and send a more acceptable and appropriately calculated response.
Well, you can imagine the accident just begging to happen! Oh, that priceless split second after pressing the send button!
Unfortunately when it did, it was not to a colleague but to the MD himself. The error was obvious and understood as the content was so extreme, apologies made and accepted.
Except they weren't, really. Ever.

I do drafts like that.
Make 100% sure they are addressed to *me*
Lately I'm working on Outlook and Gmail to make sure of separation

The trick is to create and amend your drafts with NO RECIPIENTS. Keep saving them and only add the recipients when you're ready to send. That's stopped me from sending a couple of times when I meant to save!

Good question, I actually thought I was emailing my wife. Molly and I share an email account and it was her that let me know I was spouting my love th the bank manager |

Guy I knew had been working offshore for roughly 3 years. Job finishes so he gets moved back to the office. After a couple of weeks his boss asks him to organise a charity bike ride which he does. Hands the plan in to his boss(I saw it and it was Ok but needed more thinking). His boss looks at it says fair enough but it needs tweaking here and there to suit more people. My mate gets the hump and sends EVERYONE in the office an email with his proposed bike ride but also includes an utter slating of his boss and his ideas on the bike ride.
EVERYONE gets the email,boss included. Cost the guy his job. Twat.
