When I first started working here, my company had two websites, one HTML and one text. The HTML website was correct, but no one ever looked at the text website since we used HTML. One of our insurance agents pointed out the typo "Pubic Auto," which should've read "Public Auto."

Haha, my Dad once caught a number of these errors while reviewing a report about to be filed with the "Pubic" Utilities Commission.

It's now standard company policy to do a search and replace for "pubic" in all reports lol.

Something funny I heard on Bob and Tom.

A woman was writing an email to the company that talked about an employee who had a family member die. At the end of the email she wrote something like

"Susans Mom died this past week, blah blah... So lets all give Susan our support

Good Luck, Susan, LOL".

The woman thought LOL stood for "lots of love" for some reason. Pretty hilarious.

lol! that's hilarious.

This wouldn't be funny if it weren't true, but I work for the government, so it's even more believable. We got an email, on official letterhead, from the base's shipping office saying that Federal Express would no longer be used for overnight letters. Instead, all outgoing mail would be sent by the least cost effective method. The person that sent it sent out an email 10 minutes later, pleading for people to please stop emailing her back about the typo.

But was it really a typo?

I've gotten to where I don't say sec... at all. Not in email, not in chat, never. the C and X are WAY too close together.

"Come see me for a sex"... Although in this case her response was alarmingly positive lol....

as in you got laid or as in - "Oh! so you are not gay?!"

I do the scheduling for where I work, we have relief staff that I email with open shifts each month before I finish off the schedule. Last month I sent out this email:

"Hey guys, we have lots of shits available at [location]"

Only one guy caught it

I was complaining about it being cold in my office one day.
Co worker sent me an email
"Want some head in your office?"

Few seconds later she walked in with a space heater

"area counts" written as "area cunts"

Area count is how some analytical instruments measure things. The instrument makes a graph and measures the area.

We have a (somewhat pudgy) director here who once sent out a department wide mail that included the phrase "please bare with me on this". A short while later another department wide email went out from HR stating "Um, I think you should clarify to state that you meant 'please bear with me'".

We still laugh about it

Monthly newsletter at work was put together by the plant manager's secretary. One of the items on the front page was a notice, in pretty big type face, for a "Union Shift Meeting". She forgot the "f" in shift.

What was funny was that all these had been distributed throughout the complex and you saw her for like an hour running around the complex (1/2 mi. X 1/4 mi.) in her high heels, quick stepping it, trying to retrieve all the unread copies.

Not an email, But when I was a bench tech for tandy when they made their own computers, I had a board come though with a 'Hard dick failure' on the tag.

I was helping a client with "promo codes" but misspelled it 3 times as "pormo codes". I ran spellcheck and was about to send the email when I saw it changed everything to "porno codes". glad I caught it.
