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?

Morning panic
I wrote an email to my boss one night (when extremely pissed, of course) having a right old go at him, ending the email with "you are a cunt". I pressed send, and it sat there for a while, then came back with an unable to send message. Not realising my good fortune at this point, I stubbornly pressed send again, but the fates saved me once again.
I had my onosecond when I came too the next morning, and ran downstairs to check the PC. What a relief when I realised that it hadn't been sent. I tried sending a test email and it worked fine. I am now a religious man.
