    Woman in a wheelchair using a laptop and talking on the phone, illustrating accidental sends and awkward moments. I messaged a co-worker when I was drunk that I thought she was smokin' hot and had a great set of wheels. (She was wheelchair bound after a sledging accident) I added wheels into a separate text to be cheeky and bamboozle her

    She tortured me for weeks at work

    We ended up dating for over a year. It was fun, but I definitely wouldn'tve sent the text sober, no way. Even though I knew we had a matching sense of humour.

    Young man in denim jacket looking at phone with a concerned expression after accidental sends causing embarrassment. I was texting my best friend, completely over-analyzing a text from my crush. I wrote out this whole long paragraph about what I thought he *really* meant, what I should say back, etc. I hit send and then realized I had sent the entire cringey analysis directly to him instead of her.

    Man receiving a food delivery in a drive-thru, highlighting accidental sends and embarrassing moments at 2 A.M. When delivering for UberEats I send a drop-off message which I've copied, so I can quickly paste it in the field and send it. It usually says "your order is at the door, have a great day!" One time I forgot that I had copied other text and instead I sent "urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads.".

    Two people viewing ancient Egyptian artifacts in a dimly lit museum showcasing accidental sends museum visitors. Had to fill out a new emergency contact form at my old job as the company was updating the HR software and wanted everything to be up-to date.

    I put down my mothers details and contact info. Under the section "relation to employee", I wrote "my mummy" for a joke.

    I scanned the form and sent it back, but was too busy laughing with my team to notice my mistake.
    I then got a ton of emails telling me to recall the message.

    I clicked reply all. We had over 300 employees globally.

    Hand holding multiple green banknotes, illustrating the concept of accidental sends causing embarrassing moments. I accidentally sent $2,000 extra to the bank during our daily deposit the day I was leaving for vacation and had brought my bags to work. There was a middle man service involved like brinks or whatever so it took several days for the bank to confirm and it looked extremely suspicious and there was a meeting whether to fire me or not but one of the managers bought me some time and said wait for the bank to get back to them.
