Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Accidentally addressing the entire organization as "Dead colleagues" instead of "Dear colleagues" especially during the COVID-19 pandemic was some seriously unfortunate timing!


Do or die (via u/DDLynch / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Let’s hope the recipient didn’t take it literally when this user accidentally wrote "please die" instead of "please do!"


Wrong screenshot (via u/sc00022 / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Probably the worst screenshot anyone could ever send to the entire office!


Wrong CC (via u/aegeaorgnqergerh / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Wow, imagine CC’ing the exact person you wanted to be fired in the email. Awkward!


Accidental insult (via u/allthefearandnoidea / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Looks like this person just took playful banter a step too far, by accidentally turning it into body shaming!


Wrong poppy (via u/NarwhalsAreSick / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Poor Poppy, having his name misspelled in the most annoying way possible!


The 'O' that mattered (via u/Incantanto / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

As you can see, sometimes missing just one letter can completely change the meaning of an email, and not in a good way!


Cute as a bottom (via u/Mardiacum / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

This boss surely heard every compliment about how cute his baby was except for this one!


Not so kind regards (via u/HisLordship144 / Reddit)

Comment byu/BarryFairbrother from discussion inAskUK

It looks like this user’s colleague sent their “kind regards” via email, which was far from kind. Imagine being the person who read it!


Appreciating the client (via u/Sock989 / Reddit)

Comment byu/MuchRatherBeNapping from discussion inAskUK

Hope this user’s client felt appreciated, and not weird when they received this email!


Sharing jokes (via u/Middle--Earth / Reddit)

Comment byu/BarryFairbrother from discussion inAskUK

Considering this user’s friend and boss have the same name, he’ll definitely think twice before sending an inappropriate joke next time!


Medical announcement (via u/Massive-Situation-85 / Reddit)

Comment byu/BarryFairbrother from discussion inAskUK

Well, looks like now the entire office knows what medications this user orders!


Everyone's salaries (via u/HamsterEagle / Reddit)

Comment byu/BarryFairbrother from discussion inAskUK

If anyone in this company ever wondered how much their coworkers were making, they now have the official copies!


Incomplete assistance (via u/1Original_Username / Reddit)

Comment byu/BarryFairbrother from discussion inAskUK

Good thing this user clarified what they meant in a follow-up email, or the receiver would’ve been seriously confused!


Embarrassing typo (via u/ParisPretzel / Reddit)

Comment byu/MrsOld-Blighty from discussion inCasualUK

Who knew that pressing the wrong keys while typing out your name could turn you into the devil himself?


Everyone's invited (via u/WufflyTime / Reddit)

Comment byu/MrsOld-Blighty from discussion inCasualUK

Either this user made a mistake, or they must have the biggest house in the world to invite every employee of their company to their barbeque!


Upfront manager (via u/emailrob / Reddit)

Comment byu/MrsOld-Blighty from discussion inCasualUK

It was very honest of the manager to be upfront with the person he was planning to lay off!

Well, there you have it. Email blunders can truly lead to hilariously embarrassing moments, so be sure to double-check those emails!
