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?

Inappropriate stuff
Backin the early 90's before text and email, we used phones! Quaint but true!
Anyway, a fellow colleague had one of those dash board stress "reducers" that were the rage then. When you pressed a button it called the sales rep who just cut you up on a roundabout a "cnut", at a very high volume.

Various combinations of buttons, could if pressed quickly enough, could make amusing sweary phrases.......
.....such as "fuck you!-stupid!-cnut!"

At work for a laugh we would phone each others extentions and play it down the phone except..........

I did it by accident to the Boss and his Deputy. On the remote speaker phone facility, so they didnt even have to answer.

I actually ran to their office and physically prostrated myself at their feet and grovelled my apology, before they even had time to thinks about a P45.

I still cringe.
