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?

Over the cliff or notUnfortunately not a funny one.
The worst onosecond I've ever had was coming around a right hand corner on my motorcycle at about 70 km/h (approx 55 miles), the chain comes off and locks into my back wheel making the rear slide and hit gravel, sending me and the bike into the ground sliding towards a cliff.
This is where the onosecond comes in. Do I hang onto my uninsured bike, or let go and let it slide into the unknown? In the 2 seconds this accident is happening, yep, that actually runs through my head.
In the end I hung onto the bike, ripping a nasty hole in my knee, but keeping it from the cliff. 2 weeks of hospital, 6 weeks recovery and about 5k total in bills. Bike was only worth about 3k.
Granted I have a cool scar on my knee from the accident though....and I still have that bike.
