Email Faux-Pas
So, today, being as T is just above G and I was in a hurry,
The spell checker didn't notice as the alternative is also a legitimate word, spelled correctly.
Yes, instead of offering my "Regards" I called about 12 people on a reply to all email, managers included "Retards" !
Previous best was at Woolworths, I emailed my (still fairly new colleague) Angus but missed the G and called him "Anus".
Anyone else got this habit ?
might do it on purpose in future.

Oh, much, much worse, sent an email to my boss discussing a brief for a job - the lack of budget and would we be able to do anything for the money other than take them out for a smart lunch.
Copied in the client on the email.
She was not best pleased!
Boss found it rather amusing having done similar himself, suggested i did not make a habit of it in future.
we did not win the pitch either.

The last one I did was mispell cranage for carnage, which was quite amusing when the client was reading out my notes in a meeting and asked with a grin what it meant, luckily we have a resonable company relationship & everyone found it funny.

Writing an email to one mate slagging off another mate and ended up sending the email to the one who I was slagging off.
Talked my way out of it, saying I sent it as a wind-up. Luckily he accepted it.

whenever i type in administrator quickly, it ends up as administarter.
also played a trick on an old sales colleague of mine called Chris Bradley.
and used the autotext function in word to automatically change his surname to Baldy, whenever he typed his name.
most amusing as it was subtle enough for him not to notice it for a while....
i hope he's not got a scoob and is on here!!! lol

i sent an email to a potential buyer for a house we'd built in epping and suggested that if they'd like to view the "sh1te" [site], then i would be very pleased to hear from them...
...they did actually contact me and hadn't noticed the error!

Girl here was having a private email conversation with her fella, discussing what they were going to have for dinner, what they were going to watch on TV......how she was going to put on her new underwear and "let him have some back door action"
Only problem was she managed to copy in the whole of the companies sales team on a reply......poor girl had to take 2 days off.
