It sure does suck sending an e-mail and then regretting it.

We've all had one of those days!
I'm a Mason and the guy in charge of our mail list is an old man who loves Fox News. He sends us Glenn Beck videos, fox news chain letters, etc.
So today I got a new one saying all true patriots need to help keep the flag in the class room! And telling me to go vote on some Fox News poll.
I hate Fox News. The only terrorist organization America needs to fear is Fox. So I sent him an e-mail, telling him what I think about him and his Fox News. There may have been one or six curse words in there, I went into detail about why I hate Fox, and I told him I was embarrassed for him because he takes Fox seriously.
I'm now regretting being so rude and blunt. I don't regret telling him off, but I regret how I did it.

which is why it takes me 45 minutes to send a three line email reply
making sure i didn't say anything wrong
or had a curse word slip in by accident
(only in professional contexts, not if i'm emailing like my friends or family)
that sounds awful
You should send him a follow up email saying that you apologize for using such strong language and you understand that it was inappropriate to do so. You can say that you should have just expressed your opinion, but not taken it to a personal level with this guy. Mostly just say you're sorry and that your actions were inappropriate. If you truly feel bad about the way you disagreed with him, just say so.
Ditto. Work emails tend to be written, deleted, re-written, etc. Though I've found that habit slowly seeping into my personal emails/messaging, even here on the forums, I constantly find myself editing msg's for tiny errors that no one would care about. But what if they really do!?
Or just don't be a douche
(i've been proofreading this post since yesterday)
Same. It takes me fucking forever to hit send.
you can put an automatic timer on the outbox, so if you're like, oooo shit that's wrong
you can get it back

Oh well, it beats coming across like a sub-literate baboon.
e: For example, so far I have edited this 3-sentence post twice. (Yes, counting this edit.)
i like tabbed and then hit enter or something and instead of jumping a line down i hit send
i was like
noooooooooooooo
Me too. Just hovering over the send button, knowing that you've made a fool of yourself somewhere in there, but being unable to see where.
Then whoops, it turns out that the part that made you a fool is that you sent it late.
Right click->Recall Message, and if they haven't read it by then, they never will
It doesn't really help the ol' post quality.
You can set it to 30 seconds now, which is what I have it at. It's saved me from enraging a couple exes already.
This is hilarious to see as a Thunderbird user.
"Oh, you sure would like to take that one back, wouldn't you?"
Then! Send a third email that is just a picture of you sleeping with his wife
We're auditors and one of our clients was a GLBTAU Center. Brad, the supervisor, is a born again Christian. He's been through an exorcism that cleansed the demons out and now he's super hardcore religious. Well they were out at the client and Brad just kept talking about how this place is an abomination and how these people need to be saved. Sarah kept telling him no and that its a bad idea and not professional. Anyway, they found out at lunch that the CFO is gay (or transgendered, I forget which), but then when Brad and Sarah were alone, he kept venting. Then he got into Sarah's religious beliefs and tried to get her to be saved, but she kept politely turning it down.
Anyway she got annoyed and went to send me an email saying how she didn't want to get saved and that she's tired of hearing about all his exorcism and born again stuff.
Problem is that my last name and his last name are very similar. When she began to type mine, it autocompleted with his and she sent it.
She realized what she did and just flat out said "Look. I sent you an email just now and I'm sorry, but this is how I feel. It wasn't meant for you but it is what it is now"
He read the email, sat back, and was like "God intended for you to send this email to me. Let's talk about it. Why don't you want to be saved?"
Now they never work on jobs together.
tl:dr Hilarious email story dealing with religion and being saved. Whoops.jpg
Coran Attack!
prepare to have your wacky crab-god eat your soul.
Abraham Lincoln taught my friend who in turn taught that to me
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.
I was gonna say.. 5 seconds sounds like the exact amount of time it takes to process that you did something wrong so by the time you react to hit cancel it gets sent.
That was meant for my oldest sister, not me. The texting sister felt real bad about that one after I called her out on it.
Coran Attack!
The one time I really let loose was on my ex-girlfriend and she really, really didn't deserve it. We're friends now and anytime it comes up I apologize profusely and grovel at her feet. Oh and also at some idiot I used to be friends with, but I don't feel bad about that.

Wait, were they just watching it, or were they trying to get you to watch it or something?
Oh they were watching it. And believing it.
It seems watching a show and buying into it (crazy as that man is) isn't really cause to yell at your parents.
dis right here
I think I know my parents better than you.
You don't know man. You don't know! Cuz you weren't there man!
