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?

We suffered a major system crash, and spent several hours running round swearing until the monster was fixed.
Boss sticks his head round the door and says "Scary - do us a favour - send an on-screen message to all users to let 'em know the computer's no longer fucked."
So I did.
"ALL USERS: COMPUTER NO LONGER FUCKED"
We laughed.
Then, I dropped my coffee mug. It landed on the Enter key.
Our network had several hundred users in many varied locations round the world.
I was no longer one of them.
