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?

On the receiving end
Where I work I'm one of the union reps and have regular meetings with management about conditions, pay etc. My opposite numbers will always swap a few emails about pre-meeting strategy; I guess as stressed, busy executives they can't find the time to meet in person.

The beauty of this setup is that the first 5 letters of my surname are the same as the Head of HR.

Rather like the codebreakers at Bletchley Park in WWII, there's only so much I can do with the information that comes my way or they might twig. Needless to say, my colleagues and I prefer to actually talk to each other, and we never put in an email anything we wouldn't be happy to put up on a notice board.
