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?

Onosecond
Not strictly relevant but still funny...
An old friend, who we'll call "John", used to work in telephone sales, drawing the evening/night shift. He likes his porn so when his cousin phoned him asking if he'd like a selection of Amsterdam's finest, he replied "Bring it on!". Now this company didn't have e-mail at the time but did have colour faxes so John supplied his cousin the fax number and the pages came rolling in. Unbeknownst to him the fax lines were networked to three devices: his, sales... and the managing director's desk.
John had the following conversation first thing in the morning:
"John"
"Yes?"
"The fax..."
"Err... yes...?"
"You're fired".
Here we have time travel: one Onosecond lasting until the morning
