HITTING REPLY ALL on an email is either a mild inconvenience for the recipients or a potentially life-ruining moment for you.

Naturally, it’s more entertaining to focus on the morto life-ruining half of such situations.

And that’s exactly what this question on AskReddit wanted answers to last week

And oh it got some good ones:

My cousin once sent an email meant for his girlfriend to everyone in his address book. He wrote in great detail about the ways in which he and his brothers English bulldog were going to have sex with her when he got home. This probably happened 15 years ago, and I’m sure he has convinced himself that everyone has forgotten. Things like that stay forever.

Some people had workplace tales of woe:

I saw a guy ‘reply all’ with a file attached that included the social security number of his whole family, his income, wife’s income, etc.

And office drama:

HR manager sent an Excel workbook with some pertinent info on the first sheet to everyone, but failed to remove the fourth sheet which had everybody’s salary.

One way to make the wedding day awkward presented itself:

My best friend friend and best man replied all to a group text when I was getting married. We were talking about making plans and doing wedding related errands and he said something to the effect of, “When are we gonna ditch these losers and get drunk?” my fiance was unimpressed.

There was NSFW content, because life is cruel like that:

Babysitter wrote to my husband, my daughter, and I, about babysitting my granddaughter who was staying with us. My husband and I were going out on a date night.

I was trying to respond to my husband ”Come 7 o’clock…” With a picture of my tits.

Whelp…

And finally… perhaps the worst first day this lad could ever have had nightmares happened. And all thanks to a “send to all” email he didn’t even type:

At the Head office of a large UK insurer, Adrian, the pugnacious, unpopular and unappealing contractor was showing Peter, a new programmer on his first day how to use cc:Mail. Peter is logged in, Adrian is next to him, typing. He decides on the following message

Subject: Wanker

Body: You are one.

He shows Peter how to call up the address book and selects the first entry which happens to be “A-J Surnames”, couple of clicks and there it is in the to: box. He then states, explicitly, “better not click send!” then, somewhat inexplicably, does that very thing.

About 800 employees, including the CEO, almost simultaneously look up and start to loudly discuss exactly who this “Peter” is and why he thinks they may have onanistic tendencies.

Peter, rather unfairly, spent some uncomfortable time with both HR and the CEO, who was a “hands on” type, to be sure. Ironically, Adrian, who indeed was a wanker of the most furious variety, didn’t receive said email as his initial was further down in the alphabet.
