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?

Novell send message - oh bugger
Let me set the scene.

In our big office everyone has their own ink jet printer. In an attempt to make things easier, and to stop everyone having their own supply, I put all of the different cartridges on one shelf in the cupboard.

Seems trivial but it saves about £4000 in stock.

One chap decides he should have his own stock even thought the cupboard is 10m from his desk. Cue him arguing with my pal who sits next to me as to why he should have his own way. Bit of sport I thought... for the first ten minutes... It then got boring...

In the end sent a message to my pal saying

"Let him have what he wants, it'll be easier"...

OHNO

The other chap now looks at his screen somewhat puzzled, then looks at me. Somehow through gestures and pulled faces I got him to believe I meant to send it to him and was taking the mick out of my pal.
