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 used to have a collegue named Griet. In Dutch, when closing an informal e-mail, we write 'groetjes' (+/- 'greeting'). The number of times I, she or anyone wrote Groet ('greeting') instead of Griet (her name), and grietjes (little Griet's) instead of groetjes (bye) is larger than the distance to the moon and back.

This is such an easy mistake to make - married almost 25 years to my own Brian and I still have to check myself regularly to make sure I'm not spelling it Brain!

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!"
