Just Texted my Boss that he's a Jerkface with the face of a jerk

[szyzygy]

by accident. Oops.

Meant to send it to my buddy. I was watching the Simpsons with my kids and that 25 greyhounds episode was on and I got excited.

Boss was cool with the mistake. Ugh.

[Schrup]

he's cool. I apologized, he's younger than me and semi-laid back as far as go-getters go.

I ain't worried, just a little embarrassed and wiser.

Ain't technology grand!
Now you not only have to watch your mouth, but your fingers as well.

I blame my kids. They were skwerming around and made me choose the wrong contact. I realized what I'd done in less than 2 seconds.

Wish you could redact texts.

I once sent my brother in law a message that said, "I love you, can't wait to see you" that was for my wife as I was boarding a plane to head home. His reply was that he didn't like me that much.

a looong time ago i was working at a big advertising agency in nyc. i was unfamiliar with lotus notes but was required to use it at work. i discovered i could communicate with a friend back home using it to instant message.

so one day i was telling my friend on the lotus notes that my boss is a C*NT and well, since i was thinking of her, i sent it my boss instead. she got it instantly.

i hated that job anyway

Is'nt there a thread on this forum about whether to send a message or not? I think your situation applies to it.You must have an understanding boss if u are still employed. Good luck. Kind of like saying the first thing that comes into your head. More fun that way. I do it all the time.

I once received a text from my ex wife ment for her boyfriend. It discussed their activities from the night before. Sent back" Thanks for sharing" I am sure she was 4 shades of red when she got. Got a long text back saying sorry and all that.

I have a woman that works for me in TX. We have instant messenger and we use it all day. I sent a message that was supposed to say "give me a sec.." and it came out "give me a sex". One day I'll learn to type.

The shop foreman and I are really close. Close enough that during my family's health crisis, he texted me first thing in the morning at work, and called me a c*nt just to make the mood a bit lighter. I sent one back to him that said "You're a *****...". It was 5 am here, his name is Darryl, and the next contact in my list was my friend Debbie, who lives in Denver. The nansecond I hit send, I realized Debbie's name was highlighted... So I sent Debbie a text at 3 am her time calling her a *****. I apologized profusely, and repeatedly, and explained what had happened. She still sends me a message every now and then asking if she's still a *****.

That reminds me of a little prank I played with one of my managers several months ago. He left he computer unattended so instead of being a jerk and explaining why its a security risk, I just banged out an email to the Commander and cc'd his buddies with a message "You sure do have a purty mouth!" I could hear the guys laughing throughout the building along with the Commander (he knew exactly what had happened). From that moment on, I had to make damn sure I logged off my PC every time I left my office but it didn't take long for the guys to pay me back.

Oh yeah, very common.

I've done something similar many, many times. What I usually do is type up an email in a huge red font addressed to everyone saying that they want to come out of the closet or telling about their oddest fetish or something like that. I don't hit send, but leave it on their desktop. They get back to their desks and know how close they came.

This is why I don't have any co-workers (except for the ones I am personal friends with) in my personal cell phone. I have a second work-issued cell phone, and it stays home when I go out...which doesn't happen anymore with a six month old at home.

As for leaving your work computer unlocked...that usually merits a lunch invitation to the whole unit, to be paid for by the sender.

I am cool...But you are fired since I'm a jerkface...

[szyzygy]

I'm going to remove him from my contacts. If I ever need to call him outside of work I'll look his number up on the company Outlook.

You guys really think a boss would fire someone for an honest mistake like this?
