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.

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!"

Depends on the liberal art degree I suppose. With a Law degree you can be a lawyer. A PhD in art history you can be an academic, a docent, a curator, etc. With a degree in art and human computer interactions you can be a UX designer. Master's in Education, you can be a teacher. The list goes on and on. Before you ask, yes I do have a liberal arts degree. Two of them in fact. And yes I am fully employed and make very good money. Although I work as an engineer, so probably not a good example for this.

I had a customer who typed all his messages in the subject line and nothing in the email body. It made for difficult communication, to say the least.

Just about any career actually - I know people with that degree who have gone on to work for law firms , placement agencies , political groups , marketing agencies , in the construction trades as well as architectural offices . It's actually a very good degree for employers because people with this degree bring an open mind to the job . But , by all means keep being bitter .

Why do they offer degrees with no practical use except to show you can put up with BS and spend lots of money for the privilege?

I always wondered that too..like the Arts Degree..what Art.. what work does it represent? Who wants to pay and attend a whole year at Uni to be given options for the second and subsequent years ahead?

Once I got an email from a liberal arts college with this subject line... they said 'you can do a lot with a liberal arts degree' and had lots of pictures of happy students, but they never clarified any more than that.

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.
