The OnosecondWired 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?

Promise of pain :(Not a text/email but an onosecond moment...
Had been frying supreme fatty foodstuffs in pan that was now filling with oil (due to value nature of supreme foodstuffs).
Thought "better wash this" so whisk pan to sink. Hilariously due to glutton-based brain imperative whisk FAR too quickly and simmering oil slops across whole top of thumb.
Instant onosecond as I realise what's absolutely and very definitely just happened but *before* nerve signals reach brain to deliver mind-shattering blast of searing pain.
Hand under cold tap for 20 mins...
Dull throbbing for days? Oui. HUGE leathery blister? Aye. Worried chunk of skin would fall off revealing bare bone? Yes.
I had to clean the bastard wall too as the reflex response sent all the oil flying.
And my dinner was cold.
