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!"

Received This Email. It Wasn't Very Comforting
BeesEelsAndPups 1 year ago
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.

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.

Jack Has The Day Off From Work Tomorrow. My Friend Sends Email To Let Boss Know. Hilarity Ensues
Teutonic Disaster 1 year ago (edited)
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.

My Daughter's Teacher, The "Literary Specialist" Used The Wrong Form Of You're In Their Email To Me

Best Email I've Ever Received From An Amazon Seller
The Scout 1 year ago
Well, the whole ductus of the message is typical "Chinese Industry Appeasing Western Customer" tone (I have worked B2B China imports for a while, and this sounds very familiar...). And it is a very common thing to tell the customer to keep a low-value-item free of charge instead of sending it back, as the costs return, re-stocking and processing are probably higher than the buying price of the product, so they are better of if it does not end up in their return queue.

Never Say "Yo" To Your Professor
"Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo,
We did everything. You're giving a 3 minute speech on why red pandas are the best animal on Monday. I'm not joking. Also, check out this link http://www.wisekids.org.uk/netetiquette.htm on email etiquette. It's geared towards children, so it should be pretty easy to follow.

PS. I don't put much stock in first impressions, but since I'm here to teach you this one was pretty bad. Also, you really are giving that speech. I'm funny, so you'll know when I'm joking."
