I have friends who have recently split up - the man has walked out on his wife and two children (one is special needs; a boy who idolises his dad). So far, there is no evidence of an A but I'm waiting....

I got an email from the guy last night - a fun maths problem. He'd sent it loads of people. Not having seen him since he left his family, I decided to use the opportunity to 'say' a few things but I accidentally hit the 'reply all' button instead of just 'reply' so it went to everyone on the mailing list. Basically I have accidentally exposed to people who weren't even aware of what was going on. As soon as I pressed 'enter' I realised what I'd done but it was too late to undo it!

I knew there was a reason I usually only post in Idiotville.

OMG! I guess this is one of those times that "everything happens for a reason" responses. Oh well. If he's not doing anything wrong, he won't be embarrassed or ashamed, now will he? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That happened to Old Christine on the "New Adventures of Old Christine" and was HILARIOUS that time too!

She was sending an amorous, slightly sexual reply to the sender, who was a teacher at her son's school, and it went out, via reply to all, to every child's parent of the school to which the teacher had emailed a school announcement.

When Christine realized what she had done, she got up and pulled the cable plug out of the wall. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

PM - there is a lot of drinking going on. Am pretty sure he's going to end up making this a whole lot worse very soon.

Krusht - I don't know the program and I'm sure if it wasn't me who'd dropped a clanger, I'd find it hilarious too. His 11 yr old daughter was even on the mailing list.

B - when I was a kid my mum used to call me, "The News of the World" which is a trashy tabloid newspaper in England. Guess I'm living up to the name!

TT, I have to laugh - that is so like something I would do. I have the worst problems with those little computer button doohickeys. Of course I never did anything quite that widespread, but give me time.

Do you think your subconscious helped you on that path?

Oopsies, TT.

I wonder how long it took him to remove you from his mailing list. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can relate to this! When I started working at the firm I'm at (over 700 attys now) I needed some more Kleenex for my desk. So I sent an email to "Hospitality" asking them to bring me two boxes when they got a chance. Much to my GREAT embarrassment, "Hospitality" wasn't the two girls that setup drinks, food, etc for meetings or whatever anyone needs, but rather it was the "Hospitality Practice Section" (Hotels, etc.) of our firm. I sent a request for Kleenex to a bunch of attorneys. I got some very clever responses, but it didn't take long for people to know my name. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
