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?

I wonder if there ever was an onosecond?One day a few years back, on my way to uni I received the following text:
"Hi you, fancy meeting up tonight at [some pub/bar/restaurant name] Prince's Street? 6ish OK?"
Now I assumed from the Prince's Street part of the text it must be Edinburgh. Given that I was living in London at the time this seemed a tad impractical. I assumed it was a wrong number (it wasn't from anyone on my phone book) and so sent the following response:
"I think you must have the wrong number, I'm a student in London."
The response was shortly followed by:
"If you don't want to come just tell me, no need to be such a cnut about it."
To this day I wonder whether the penny ever actually dropped for the sender. I hope he/she was cringing for a day at least. I don't like being called a cnut by anyone apart from my girlfriend.
