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.

A Student Emails His Professor While Drunk. Results Are Amazing
Hans 8 years ago
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.
Elena Kuznetsova 7 years ago
Just an excellent example of the principle of individual approach in modern teaching: the more drunk the student the shorter the essay... the wiser the teacher the more willingly he encourages his students to come to his classes!

This is Gold ! I can't stop laughing ! Mr Martin is a top bloke with a great sense of humour ! You are one lucky barstard !

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!

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?
