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?

Always use your brain first
Not an email, more a right in the face insult.

Department manager, my group manager and me standing in front of a rather complex machine we built. Department manager wants a few explanations on how everything works. Since it is getting more and more technical, he asks "Can you explain it so I understand it?". To which I promptly reply, "Oh, that's gonna be difficult." My boss nearly ROFL, me standing there rather shocked (since the brain kicked in a split second later). Thanks to god the manager keeps asking questions without noticing what I really had just said to him.

After 10 years, my boss still tells this story to everyone at work parties.
