Have you ever wished there was an app on your phone that would save you from drunk texting? Or something that would prevent butt-dialing? Or even something that would decide that the email that you are about to send won’t be featured in an email fails list?
It is safe to say that we've all been in a situation like this. Whether it's because we were inebriated, hit the wrong button, or simply weren't paying enough attention to what we were doing, we've all accidentally made some pretty funny email mistakes.
However, as you can see from this hilarious list of email fails and text mishaps compiled by Bored Panda, there are embarrassing, and then there are mortifying message fails!
From students writing to their teachers while mentally vacationing to prospective employees applying for jobs with pictures of Nicholas Cage instead of their CV, these funny email fails below will make you laugh, but most importantly, they'll make you think twice before you ever hit the 'send' button again.

On my first week on a new job a coworker must had been sexting with her husband but press the wrong button; she sent a pic of her privates to all her coworkers by accident.
Why do people feel the need to photograph their junk for their spouse in the first place?

A Student Emails His Professor While Drunk. Results Are Amazing
Wow...considering that you must be really stupid to write this email even when drunk, and that it might be enough to get you expelled, Mr. Martin surely has some humour.
Professor Has Regrets
Did he really believe his students wouldn't click on the first link because he told them it's an adult website?
If they'e older than 14 they'll want to click on it more now.
Load More Replies...Anybody else is typing the link and see if the professor got a good taste?
I don't feel like searching for it, but is it at least an interracial video?
How the f**k did he not notice this? The link itself is pretty explicit.
How To Write the Funniest Emails?
While unintentional email fails are always the most hilarious, sometimes you might want to write an intentionally funny email. A bad day at work? Scribe a hilarious letter to your work friend! Caught someone else’s grammar error? Respond with your own intentional letter scramblings and watch the day get better from a dose of laughter.
But how do you compose these funny emails? We have some pointers for you:
Give them a plot twist. If you’re good at storytelling, you can turn any work or personal email into a hilarious story with a completely unexpected plot twist. For instance, start with a casual conversation and end it as if you’re being abducted by aliens. Fun!
Use visual humor. Yes, we’re talking emojis. Those little faces can make any email hilarious, especially if you choose them without any context or at random. Nobody would call that an email fail!
Play with language. Don’t be afraid of puns, wordplays, or even intentional funny email mistakes. After all, these little things are the base of all fun.
But of course, the best inspiration for creating intentional email fails is looking at mishaps that have actually happened to people. It's a Good thing there are still plenty of those on our list!
I Am Afraid
Lost Phone
If those phones existed 50 years ago, this would have been a Monty Python sketch.
Now, in the 80's we would say this guy is a classic "AIRHEAD"! LOL

Me too. I will not be surprised if I am called into the bosses office because of the noise I am making.

Wow...taking a photo of a phone with paper on it wins the "I have no idea how technology works" award.

Always Read Over Your Emails
Wow, that stick man of yours is awesome! Just saying!
Load More Replies...Literally laughing so hard they came checking on me if to see if I had a meltdown :D :D :D
Load More Replies...And this is the case when I prefer my own language to English, as it allows to avoid such misunderstandings (granted, English have some very good words that are not translatable)
That was incorrect English. You would say a “black men’s watch” and it conveys the meaning exactly.
Load More Replies...It’s not a comma but it should say “black men’s watch” instead of “black man’s watch”.
Load More Replies...Oooops
Me: everyone say your prayers Mom: why? Me: he is now dead
Load More Replies..."I Accidentally Sent My Potential Future Boss A Picture Of Nic Cage Rather Than My Cover Letter + Resume, Which Was A Zip File Titled With A Bunch Of Numbers Like The Jpg I Accidentally Attached Oh My God"

I think that pic is much better than a boring cover letter hopefully she got the job
Email To Professor While High On Hydrocodon
'I will not be normal until Thanksgiving turkey' is how I'm introducing myself from now on instead of saying nice to meet you.
E-Signature
To be fair, there is NO ONE else who would send that as their signature.
Load More Replies...Maybe a Christmas list...or a gift a child wants and she meant to paste it and send it to a relative as a birthday gift idea
Load More Replies...I have something like 20 second window that allows me to delete the message if I don't want it sent. Has saved me from couple of situations
Load More Replies...Wrong Picture
Somebody with an overbite, high on cocaine at a rock concert.
Load More Replies...At least you are alone. My colleagues must be thinking I'm having a breakdown. These are too good
Load More Replies...Oh, u've never felt more embarrassed? So one time, I had to upload an essay to this homework platform our school has and instead of uploading the actual file, I uploaded a photo of one of my guy friends' "abs"
There Were Two Problems
Is It Too Late To Unsend?
for the longest time, i kept writing 'king regards' on my letter/emails, i guess no one noticed, it was only when i emailed one of my lecturers in legal writing that it got pointed out - go figure :P i completely looked over it tbh, i guess subconsciously i have a bigass ego or something :P
I Accidentally Sent This To My Little Sisters First Grade Teacher But I Meant Sick
In my experience, they hardly read the letters and just sign off.
Load More Replies...My ex-wife was rather naive when I first met her. She once had to locate a work colleague called Richard. She went from office to office, popping her head round the door and asking loudly: "Has anyone seen D**k? I need D**k". She had no idea why people were laughing...
So I Send My Sister A Snapchat Of A Party I Had When My Parents Where Gone. She Sent Me This Back (It's My Dad)
What is this thing of parties in the US when the parents are gone? Are you not typically allowed to party? Or is it because of the high legal drinking age?
Is this from Jimmy Fallon I ate all your candies? :D
Load More Replies...One should apparently have a photo of an authority figure doing this on the camera roll for times like these.
No, teens are not allowed to pay when their folks are gone bc they don't know when to stop.
Please Remove Your Pants
hahaha, "i hope you are successful in your endeavor to remove Matts pant's"
The fact that the professor just signed his name as dave cracks me up.

I was given 'cknt, for a password . Foreign admin could not understand my refusal in accepting it - and I was not being paid to explain.
I Accidentally Sent This To My Female Coworker

Load More Replies...I wouldn't have tried to explain. Just say "sorry, that is actually an interesting story" and drop the subject.
Actually I do believe this one as we’ve asked Siri all kinds of crazy things just to get her/its reaction cracking our asses up!

These gave me a great, much needed laugh this morning! cage-5a02e...ae677f.jpg
Oh reading this made me wish I had screenshotted MY text fail. I was trying to message my mother because my parents are divorced and they had just been arguing over something over the phone so I opened up my messages and sent something along the lines of "I am sorry he hung up on you, I hope we can talk about this in person, love you 🖤" or something similar and honestly I don't know what happened I guess it glitched or something but the message got sent to my mother AND my friend's dad and I had never been more mortified, there was no way to unsend it or anything!
I love the rejection email. "Company Name" though? Did they have too many names to put out one?
