This is a question The Onosecond

Wired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.

What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

Do close calls count?
Once I sent an e-mail to everyone on my family address list with pictures of my husband and I in it. Except, being the lazy git that I am, instead of attaching them to the e-mail, I just sent them the URLs of the pictures on my server.

They were, of course, in the same open directory as various other pictures, including some I had sent my husband back when we were still just dating - wisely named things like "naked.jpg" and "tits.png."

About an hour or so later I was toddling around elsewhere on the internet when I realized what I'd done and frantically moved everything indecent into another folder. My parents, aunts and uncles were probably all at work - meaning my retired (and surprisingly web-savvy) grandparents were probably the only ones that could have received the e-mail by then.

If they found anything strange, they of course never brought it up. I hate having rampant paranoia!
