Back before smartphones, an extremely detailed and raunchy s*xt that was meant for my girlfriend (now wife) to the first contact in my phone, my friend Ann. It was extremely embarrassing, but I’m glad she was my friend, because the next contact in my phone was Anna, my grandmother, and I really wasn’t prepared to fake my own death at the time.

I accidentally sent $2,000 extra to the bank during our daily deposit the day I was leaving for vacation and had brought my bags to work.

I was joking back and forth with a coworker friend by email, and somehow the topic of clowns came up, and I sent a response that was along the lines of >Maybe they enjoy creating smiles and bringing a touch of wonder and whimsey to the world. > > >Or maybe they are soulless freaks whose only means of achieving s*xual satisfaction is by devouring the fear of children and tasting their sweet, sweet tears of horror. Except instead of having her email selected when I hit Reply (which was still highlighted), I had selected a “flagged for follow-up” email from the Outlook task pane. Instead of emailing my friend, I emailed the Controller of one of our major partners. I have no idea what they thought about getting that message out of the blue, but they never mentioned it in any of our future emails. Hopefully they got a laugh.

I worked for a company in the investment industry and we had different investors for each fund. I was new and needed to send out the quarterly investment reports. Two of our funds had the number 1 in them and I accidently got them confused and sent the wrong fund report to each different investor group. The fund had a list of all the investments we had made, value at investment, current fund value. Detail of each company we invested in and size of the fund. Was absolutely mortified after this. Complete stuff up.
