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?

Tutor
I have a strange kind of humour at the best of times, but unleash it more when drunk...

So one of my tutors is heavily into LOTR. And for some strange reason I know she is newly married. After getting four hours sleep in the previous 48 and finishing two essays, I start drinking immediately. After several pints of stella I switched from PS to the net and found the LOTR pic below. I remembered I had not thanked her for giving me a potentially year-saving week's extension on the essay so proceeded to email her. At the end of the email I finished:

"Oh, by the way saw this and thought of you (don't worry, I know you're married)."

Don't worry, I know you're married.

DON'T WORRY, I KNOW YOU'RE MARRIED :|

As I sent this it was a drink delayed Onosecond. Needless to say she (who always replied pretty sharpish) completely ignored email, until I had to email her again for a query a couple of weeks later and received the most unpersonalised email possible, re-assuring me that she thought myself to be a stalker (she was American as well, which doesn't help things on the let's be rational scale ho ho).

It's a shame Lennon didn't have one of these, boom boom.
