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?

Messenger
If you're careful enough, you learn to avoid the 'onosecond'. The real evil is Instant Messenger programs. You know, a window pops up, you start talking, another pops up, you put a reply in the wrong one.
I once made a moaning comment about the fact that my colleague who sits next to me does absolutely no work. Except he had just messaged me about some musical crap, and I put the response in his window. Cue the most bare-faced lie ever to weedle my way out. I'm not sure if he sussed me out or not.
Top tip for e-mails: train yourself to always enter the mailing address at the end, then accidentally clicking 'Send' (or doing CTRL+S when you only wanted a SHIFT+S for a capital letter) will be a thing of the past.
My post for this week's question is rather boring. Sorry.
