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?

Passwords
For some reason a few years ago I decided I'd had enough of the MSN Messenger application and fancied a change. Wanting to keep my contact list I decided a switch to Trillian was a good idea.

Anyway, fast forward a few days to when I need to enter my password to log into a website somewhere (the password for said site and my MSN account were the same). Little did I know that somebody starting a conversation with me while I used Trillian would open a window that would actually steal the focus from the current window I'm typing in.

So there I was, having typed my password and hit return, trying to come up with a decent enough excuse so the guy talking to me didn't figure out he'd just been given my password in plain text. I think I explained it quite well, all things considered. Needless to say MSN was back in action after this.
