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.
(He really shouldn't have ordered the death of all those poor Russians moob moob).
