first year at university
way back when few people had internet at home and email was a bit of a novelty. A friend of mine at another uni thought that it would be a laugh to send me a spoof email using the name of the head of my department. The email pointed out that I had been missing lectures (true) and was behind with some coursework and drew my attention to the university rules on the subject, accurately listing them until the 7th rule, which read 'Don't believe fake emails from your mate Ridge'.

Until this point I had been reeled in, hook, line and sinker. So I quickly clicked on reply and sent him a faux-angry email, which read something along the lines of:

You absolute cunt, you evil fucking cunt. You complete bastard, you fucker of small children.

Unbenownst to me, for added authenticity my friend had altered the reply address, so rather than going to him, I actually emailed the head of Theology department and called him a fucker of small children. Needless to say, having to go and explain the mistake to him was not one of the most glorious moments in my life...
