The Onosecond
Wired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.
What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

Well, not actually me
but an unfortunate friend called Mo - and it sorta fits the exact onosecond definition...
Mo used to work on a helpdesk shift rota, as he came towards the end of one of his late shifts he got an email from someone who required some assistance. Being tired and bleary (and a lazy shit to boot) Mo decided to forward the request to the poor sap who was about to start the next shift. Not wishing to appear totally uninterested, Mo added a few unhelpful lines of text and commented that this customer signed off his email with the word "Peace". "Maybe", mused Mo, "This twat thinks he's a nigger".
Oh Mo. Poor Mo, he could have died, if only he forwarded, instead of replied.
Bye Mo.
