1. Accidentally including someone on the recipient list for an email that speaks negatively about them.
An old friend was going to be in town and emailed a colleague and I to meet for a drink. Both the colleague and I had lukewarm feelings about this friend. I wanted to reply only to the colleague, "What do you think? I could take it or leave it," in order to gauge his interest, but I accidentally hit 'Reply to All'. The old friend never emailed or called again. I e-flubbed.
2. Signing up for an online professional or social networking service and accidentally inviting all of your contacts. My friend recently committed this e-flub, and sent out an email apology:
Dear friends,
I signed up for "(insert online networking site)" and accidentally invited everyone in my gmail contacts.
I hardly know what it is and only joined out of curiosity. I don't vouch for it in any way and I'm sorry to have junked up your inbox.
Please find it in your heart to forgive me,
(E-flub victim)
