Sending emails has become so mundane that some of us get into a false sense of security. So it’s not that hard to, say, send a fully empty email or, even worse, attach the wrong image or file. Even worse are the emails folks send out fully believing that what they just made works and isn’t either unhinged or deeply bizarre.
We’ve gathered some hilarious examples of emails people have accidentally sent or inexplicably received. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and, if you are brave enough, share your own examples and stories in the comments section below.

I Made A Snowman In The Yard Today And Later Got An Email From My Landlord. Thought He Was Gonna Be Mad I Broke Sticks Off His Trees For Arms. Guess Not
I Wish I Had The Courage To Do That
Never a good idea to think "empowering" your staff with free speech. Even without it, I remember one staff member thinking he had entitlement do and say what he wanted because he basically they had no one to replace him in his critical job. The best email he sent was the to the head of our service, accusing them of "Dickensian Work Practices" which may have worked except we were IT Systems Staff...
Lol, nobody at a company is irreplaceable. Not even the CEO. Looking at you Elon!

Brilliant move on a really s****y 'workpractice practice'. If my company came up which such a stupid thing, my answer would consist of two letters...
I feel the same way when I wake up to get ready for work except I feel more depressed than angry lol. I suspect that many of us labouring under capitalism feel the same way.
Oh my dear lord one of our directors writes an email to the whole department, every Friday... About his week. Luckily I have outlook skills and they are moved to the trash automatically. The waste of time, for everyone to read about what he remembered while standing in front of the coffee machine, eating a donut yaaaawn😝
... As they say, the only thing WORSE than Capitalism ... is the Alternative! :P
The courage to do what--send a cranky e-mail? Have you investigated the alternatives? Please do so and report your findings (from experience, please, not theory). You have freedom--exercise it!
To do what--send an e-mail? If you're furious abut laboring under capitalism, consider the alternatives and report back to us.
Dissatisfied employee is free to leave, is he not? What, exactly, does he want?--was that explained.
Well they did consider it a great idea for boosting the coworkers..
Oh, the poor soul. There they are, working under capitalism, instead of joining the few hundred milion who d!ed under communism, in gulags, purges, famines or random ethnic or class cleansings.
Why always bring up communism? Criticizing capitalism doesn't mean being a communist. But of course there are a lot of people who think they live in the best of all possible worlds, or at least try to console themselves by believing so.
Load More Replies...Hahaha! Everyone indeed does not. I tried to convince one of my best friends who lives in Belgium to come to the states because I couldn't move to Belgium just yet. Completely laughed in my face and said absolutely no way they'd be moving here. I knew it was slim to no chance of ut happening but figured it was worth a try. I get it because I was trying to leave, still would like to move back to Europe permanently at some point.
Load More Replies...I see the problem, Your mistaken notion is that you are getting bread under capitalism. In reality you are getting crumbs. Wanting more for your labour doesn't automatically mean communism.

My 8-Year-Old Brother Sends Me Emails From Time To Time. I Don’t Always Remember To Delete The "Sent From My iPhone" Signature. Apparently He Thinks This Is Important Email Etiquette
Aw. Seriously warmed the cold cockles of my heart. XD I'm taking applications for siblings, btw. The one I've got usually just texts me "HELLO???" and then just "???" if I don't answer her calls.

I Sent A Joke Email To My Old Gym Asking Them To Stop Sending Me Monthly Newsletters And Their Response Was Hilarious
"To Toby,
We can't believe you have sent us a Dear John letter, we feel so used and abused how could you do this to us? We nurture you only for you to leave us for a younger (will question the better gym) gym. But be like that, we were only using you for your money anyway.
We hope you and your new gym will be happy together! I guess it was too good to last.
Toby if you ever want to come back, we are willing to forgive and forget.
Don't forget us!"

Jack Has The Day Off From Work Tomorrow. My Friend Sends Email To Let Boss Know. Hilarity Ensues
Reminds me of a colleague at a 2-story store I used to work at. Building was old, elevator was broken, customer was in a wheelchair and wanted a bathrobe. Those were on the upper floor. The (female) colleague therefore asked the (male) customer: "Soll ich Ihnen einen runterholen?" which, depending on context means either "Should I fetch one for you from upstairs?" or "Do you want me to jack you off?". Cue me doubling over laughing, the customer deadpan replying "Thanks for the offer, but I'm married." and the colleague going red as a tomato, after she realized what she said.

I once read the first novel of a freaking English teacher and getting "your" and "you're" wrong wasn't even the half of it. I had to break it to them as gently as possible that no, you aren't going to be able to retire on the proceeds from this thing.

I just recently shared a Google file with the greeting of Hell Team, Nobody has noticed 😳
I've typed 'Hell' and persons name several times, managed to see & correct it so far, but that could change. It's a pain.
