Most Embarrassing Tech Blunders

[devildeac]

Clicking on and reading...

Nah, never mind.

[Nrrrrvous]

That series had pretty much jumped the shark by then. Anything after #6 they were just phoning it in.

Way to make me spill my beer!

Not really a blunder but...

I was setting up a new home network for a client and she asked me to get her laptop on and save the new settings etc. As she opened it, she said "But whatever you do, don't open that folder!" and pointed to one on her desktop. We had been joking most of the day about stuff and she didn't seem "that" serious about it so I said "C'mon, you can't just say that about a folder and not tell me what's in it!" So she opened it to show me shots of her, bare-chested, before and then after her breast augmentation.
She asked me "So what do you think, worth the money?"

I just smiled and said "Yes ma'am."

Pretty sure she wanted you to open that folder.

[bundabergdevil]

Pretty sure she wanted you to open that folder.

Lots of reason for that procedure but I assume this is one of them.

[Nrrrrvous]

Pretty sure she wanted you to open that folder.

Yeah, that was pretty clear.

Dear Penthouse Forum.

I never thought I'd be writing to you, but today . . .

I believe here's how the conversation was supposed to have gone:

"Ma'am, you might give a man ideas."

"If you were a man, you'd have ideas."

Out of sporks for you, but well done.

But wasn't it "I never thought this would happen to me, ... " ?

Not that I can give a first-hand account.

This just happened today to a family friend...

A family friend just had a facelift on Friday. She and her husband saw a stitch on her ear that they were concerned about, and contacted the surgeon. He asked them to send a picture of the stitch. They sent a picture. Unfortunately, after they hit send, they noticed that the reflection in the mirror also had a great view of her boobs. Always, ALWAYS, check your pictures thoroughly before sending.

"Face looks great, no worries about the stitch. I can help with lifting those, too, when you're ready."

CNN has an internal instant messaging system that is really simplistic in terms of user name. I am JEvans. There is a camerawoman I know named Jane Evans who has the username EvansJ.

Jane was having a hot and heavy relationship with a fellow employee... The fellow employee was a friend of mine who was suitably mortified when I told him Jason Evans was not interested in the acts he was describing in lurid detail.

The things people do on their work tech. I hope you make that guy do your laundry or something.

I can't believe anyone writes this kind of stuff in text form -- email, IM, etc. Is this common? I guess the folks here who work HR for large entities haves some stories.

Yea, number 1 on my wife's list of things NOT to do (from her "Practicing Safe Send" Powerpoint) is to ALWAYS double check to whom you're sending the email or other message to BEFORE hitting "Send".

...and read most emails (especially those composed in haste or emotion) about 3 or 4 times before sending (and not "to all")
