This is a question The Onosecond

Wired 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?

About a year ago
I was desperately trying to get a job (hmm, some things never change). One stunningly attractive semi-friend of mine told me the place she worked at was recruiting and got me an application form. She even signed the little bit saying "this person is a friend of someone who works here, and they're wonderful, let them have a job". Anyway, as she worked there most days I was expect her to pass the message onto me if and when I got an interview.

Was on a day out in York when I receive a text. Inside were detailed the time and location of my interview. Now as I was also trying to get into her pants at the time* and so I sent a rather over-cute text message back implying how grateful I was for her help. Something along the lines of "thank you thank you thank you x 1000, you are a STAR". With extra along the same lines. Sent the text, and then in wonder re-read the text message.

Pressed the down button once more, and reallised with horror that the text message had come from my dislikeable stepmother, who had taken the phonecall detailing the interview, and my reply was winging its way to her as I stood open-mouthed in shock.

She never did mention my response.


*Note- in the end I was unsuccessful
