An unexpected tweet turns into a viral thread when a Twitter user named Maurice shared his workplace fail. According to Maurice, he felt annoyed when a client spelled his name as โMauticeโ instead of Maurice. He made sure that they know how he felt but he was so surprised when they replied.
Apparently, he was the one who wrote the name โMauticeโ in the first place and they were just following his lead. He misspelled his own name and the Twitter world found this hilarious!
Soon, many people also shared their own hilarious yet terrible workplace fails that made this post viral!
From being absent-minded to allowing auto-correct to dictate what the word should be, these people share their own unique, funny, and embarrassing workplace fails. Be sure to finish them all and see if you can remember your own face palm moments.


1) The tweet that started the trend
So when Maurice saw that his name was spelled โMauticeโ, he was upset and he wanted to let the person know. Turns out that he was the one who initially misspelled his name.


2) Yes Maโam
Though quite embarrassing especially when your boss can read the entire thread, we think itโs forgivable and an honest mistake.


3) Dear Wrong
Though weโre wondering why the person who created the email didnโt realize that he got the โWrongโ name.


4) I was very nice
However, in this case, instead of โIt was very nice to meet youโ, she accidentally sent โI was very nice to meet youโ.
Her manager had to point it out to her because she didnโt notice it sooner.


5) Too much s*x
Weโre laughing so hard โ sorry!


6) The rude co-worker
Though, itโs the right of the person to correct you and you should take it properly. This one didnโt.


7) The missing attachment
Sometimes, 3x in a row and weโre talking about the same email.


8) Whoโs Hollz?
Nope, it wasnโt sent to a wrong address, turns out she misspelled her own name. Weโre wondering how it all turned out.


9) The stolen car
This lady made sure that she called the cops to report the incident.
Though, as it turns out, she returned to the wrong car park. Good thing that out of this funny mixed up, she was asked on a date by one of the officers.


10) The mysterious โpoopingโ sound
Good thing it was actually strange โpoppingโ sounds that was being complained. Weโre wondering how scary it is to listen to pooping sounds on big speakers.


11) Da Jelly
She said many, as in many of her colleagues have received this type of sign off but none of them ever mentions it.
Weโre also wondering what they are thinking!


12) A reply from Satan
This Twitter use said that she always accidentally signed off some of her e-mails using Satan instead of her name. Itโs all the auto-correctโs fault!


13) The bo*bkinders
Though, sometimes, these errors become hilarious mistakes just like changing โBookbindersโ to โBo*bkindersโ.


14) Hey, Scoot!


15) Who is Marka?
Like this guy over here who was furious as they emailed him with the name โMarkaโ. Only to find out that it was him who added the โaโ first.
Hi, Marka!


16) Self t*ttie
When it was her turn to talk, she thanked the person who introduced her and everyone for joining her โself-t*ttieโ topic.
Well, letโs just say that everyone had a good laugh.


17) Grumpy Mary
Then she herself ended the email with her name as โMartโ. Weโre guessing she needs to send this email to herself as well.


18) Who wantโs Nandoโs?
Being lazy and all, he accidentally sent the email to all his 2,200 coworkers.
Maybe next time, typing her whole name would be better than accidentally inviting all of them to Nandoโs.


19) Who is Mary?
However, in this case, it shows that they still didnโt get it. Weโre wondering where they got the name Mary when the senderโs name was Fiona.


20) Dear Sir or Madman
In this case, she failed to notice that her cover letter started with โDear Sir or Madmanโ.


21) What a strange degree
Everyone had a good laugh about it! We know you did too!


22) The letter S and D are side by side on the keyboard


23) Brest regards
Have you had any similar experiences like this one?


24) ร trรจs bite
Instead of sending โร trรจs viteโ meaning โsee you soonโ, he sent โร trรจs biteโ which literally means โvery d*ckโ. Oopps!


25) Le cul se forme par ici
This literally translates to โThe a*s goes in this direction.โ Itโs time to move and โLe cul se forme par ici.โ


26) C*pulate the document
Not just any type of mistake but a rather hilarious one.


27) Donโt send an email when youโre sleepy
Sending a 2 AM email can be quite a challenge especially when youโre still sleepy.
This Twitter user talked about an upcoming Training A*s instead of โTraining Classโ.


28) Returning the โfavorโ
When your last name is a common first name, people tend to confuse your first name with your last name.
This guyโs emails always contain his last name in place of his first name and he got a little fed up so responds to the people sending emails to him using THEIR last name as well.


29) After 3 long years
Apparantely, this Twitter sender didnโt notice that she spelled โlibraryโ as โlibaryโ.
Well, itโs sort of okay but well, she got corrected after 3 long years of working there.


30) An extra โeโ
Some people fail to notice the spelling of the senderโs name on the signature, it happens.
Twitter sender shares how people commonly put the extra letter โeโ on her name as it can be spelt that way.
So, she returned the extra โeโ and replied to a Steve as โSteeveโ with a note saying sheโs returning his โeโ back.


31) Been saying it for the whole year
Twitter user worked at an optical clinic where she had to ask their patients to scooch down (baisse toi) but instead, she says โBaise Toiโ which translates to โF*ck Youโ.
Whatโs funny or rather embarrassing is that she has been doing it for one whole year!


32) Been saying it for the whole year
Twitter user complimented a french friend and her mother on their โbeaucoupโ.
Instead, he pronounced it as Beau Coup which may look the same but translate to โBeautiful A**).
Weโre getting good laughs about this!


33) Mr. & Mrs. Blank
While preparing her fundraising email, she drafted it first by using โDear Mr. and Mrs. Blank and Blank, Iโve heard so much about you!โ
However, she forgot to edit it and put their real names and she sent it that way.
Well, she said that they decided not to donate after.



34) The letter L matters
Writing an article will require proofreading. Sometimes, even if you do it three times, you still end up having lots of typos.
Just like this one here. He said he was working on an article on Bill Cosby and instead of typing โpublicโ, he accidentally wrote โpub*c.โ



35) Embarrassing typo
Being all serious and advising someone about the needed requirement such as having sufficient hard disc space but she said โhard dic* spaceโ!
Good thing she added that they were all amused by her error! Good for her!


36) Excited to go home
We all have our own absentminded moments, right?
This guy picked up his manager from the airport and instead of going to their appointment, he brought his manager home.
He realized his mistake when his manager asked where they were!


37) A โSlickโ name
Not just on one occasion but on several emails, this Twitter senderโs phone decides to change her name to โSlickโ.
She said sheโs wondering if the people receiving her emails think that itโs her nickname.


38) How hard can it be?
The name โShaniceโ which was pronounced as (Shaw-NEESE) isnโt at all hard to understand.
However, this lady had a hard time getting her phone to recognize it so she decided to change phones.
Instead of getting it, her new phone heard it as โLove, this anusโ. She needs to find a new nickname.


39) Naughty auto correct
This Twitter senderโs phone is quite naughty if you ask us.
She responded to her client and said โThank you so muchโ and her phone decided it would be better if it would change it to โThank you, Douche.โ
Too bad she noticed it after sending it.


40) Personal bo*bkeeper
Sending an email to all your colleagues and saying a welcome note for someone and โhis 20 years of personal boobkeeping experienceโ is quite hilarious.
Weโre pretty sure she was too embarrassed but it still gave her firm a good laugh.


41) The incomplete sentence
Itโs amazing how one sentence can turn into a threat when you send it out unfinished.
Just like this one right here. Instead of sending โIโll shoot you an email when I find outโ, the sender sent โIโll shoot you.โ
Good thing they know each other really well and the issue didnโt escalate.


42) Tasty what???
Twitter sender had a colleague who brought in treats for everyone at work.
He invited everyone by sending an email inviting them for some โtasty n*pplesโ.
Too bad he never recovered and left. We think itโs too funny!


43) Why one missing letter can change everything
Another story made us laugh so hard but in reality, it does happen โ more than we know.
Instead of the word โCountyโ in the subject text field, the sender dropped the letter โoโ and made it look like a very naughty word.


44) Reincarnation anyone?
In her first year of her PhD program, she sent an abstract to her entire department about the risk of increased re-incarceration.
She then realized that what she submitted was about โreincarnation.โ
Letโs just say that more people decided not to show up on the day of her presentation.


45) Specialti*s
Creating an email signature is very important.
Most of us will use it multiple times a day.
This guy had โSpecialt*tsโ in his auto signature.
Whatโs terrible is that he had it for months!


46) The kind reta*d
When the words โKindest Regardsโ turns into โKindest Reta*dsโ.
To her defense, they are quite close to each other, right?
Ever since, sheโs been known as the โkindestโ of all re*ards until she left the company.


47) Still traumatized
This sender has a habit of checking her documents with words like โPub*c.โ
She said she was still traumatized by the time she said โorga*mโ instead of โorganism.โ


48) A lonely Christmas
Instead of wishing her boss a โlovelyโ Christmas, this young lady didnโt that auto correct changed it to โlonelyโ Christmas.
Oh boy!


49) Commas are very important
Good thing this girl had a cool boss!
Instead of sending โHere you goโ, she sent it as โHere you h*.โ
Instead of pointing the real mistake, her boss just replied โ โShouldnโt it be: โHere, you h*?โโ
Well, commas are also very important!


50) Adding fuel to the fire
When you are emailing someone who is already upset and end up sending an email like this, weโre guessing it didnโt end well.
You see, instead of Hello, Trishโ, she began, โHello, Trash.โ
Weโre eager to know what happened next!


51) Auto correct is at it again
When this guy was a little bit down and confirmed to her boss that his coworker will be the one to โgo around todayโ, his auto-correct decided to have fun and changed โgโ to โhโ.
We all know what it means now. He has been known as the โh* around guyโ since.


52) Millennial Avocado the Unicorn Kween
Did you know that changing your YouTube username will also change the name on your e-mail?
Most of us certainly didnโt know that!
When she went to a meeting and they referred to her mailing list, she was known as the โMillennial Avocado the Unicorn Kween.โ


53) Sheโs a beast!
Instead of โBestโ, Ericaโs phone always changes it to โBeastโ making her signature โBeast, Erica.โ
We think itโs actually very catchy! No one wants to mess with the โbeastโ, right?


54) Please, read my name tag
Twitter user Farah had a customer who always calls her Laura even though her real name was Farah.
Well, maybe because it rhymes or the elderly gentleman remembers someone named Laura.


55) The missing letter โoโ
Facepalm moments? We understand, it happens.
Such as this return of messages from an employee with her boss.
Instead of sending an acknowledging reply of โโThank you for getting back to me on those two counts,โ she ended up sending it without the letter โoโ on the word โcount.โ
Unfortunate but hilarious!


56) A weekend for Satan
When youโre in a hurry and you send your client an e-mail only to realize that your phone did an auto-correct.
Itโs mostly okay as long as itโs not like this one. Instead of Stan, auto-correct changed it to โSatan.โ


57) An old passport
Idโs are very important thatโs why itโs always a must that you bring them all the time.
This lady had to show some valid id so she handed her passport and the people behind the bank counter gave her funny looks.
She said it was okay and she understood, after all, she had so many surgeries before. Still, they frowned and said:
โThatโs fine madam, but this passport is from when you were a manโฆโ
Oops! It was her boyfriendโs passport.


58) Boss: โOhโ
Instead of asking permission to take PTO or paid time off, she sent an email sayingโ
โTaking pot today.โ
Boss: โOhโ


59) An expert in dealing with cucumber needs
One of our top favorites!
Instead of customers, auto-correct decided it would be nice to change it to cucumber.
Making his resume quite unique.
Heโs certainly great with his expertise of ascertaining CUCUMBER needs.


60) A huge mistake
Exchanging emails in your workplace about โsecretsโ require an ample amount of time of โcheckingโ where you send it.
This guy was so caught up with the โnewsโ and calling his boss an *ss mistakenly sends the email to their global users โ which meant a lot of people.
Later that afternoon, he no longer worked there.


61) Interchanging Y and U can cause quite a stir
This Twitter user has a nice habit of quadruple checking her posts.
This habit came from a coworker when she told her that she once posted a job opening for an An*lust instead of an Analyst.
Again with the letters sitting next to each other.


62) Definitely an asset!
While sending an email about collateral statements as โall assetsโ she forgot to type in the letter โtโ, making it โall ass*s.โ
Outlookโs recall feature didnโt work, bummer!


63) You can call me Beyonce
Some auto-corrects are quite okay. Just like this one that auto corrects her name Bryonie to Beyonce.
Who wouldnโt want that?


64) Tater tots
Talking to many people can be quite nerve-racking!
This caused this lady to say that her name was Tater instead of Taylor.
We love how she said that she laughed so hard that she might have snorted a little.


65) Fun moments with your last name
Leaving a voicemail and being quite pre-occupied can get us forgetful.
However, this is quite odd as she said โHi, itโs Karen Lickingโฆ oh no sorry, thatโs not my name! Locking, itโs Karen Locking.โ
Maybe sheโs licking an ice-cream?


66) The booking link
Auto-correct can sometimes give out or may we say force suggestions that are out of context.
Instead of โbooking linkโ, auto correct changed it to โF*cking link.โ
Weโre wondering what the client had to say with this?


67) The Duck Brigade
While emailing a company named Duck Brigade, this lady misspelled their name with an โFโ where the โDโ should be.
That makes it the F*ck Brigade.


68) The company wide email
Having auto correct change your name sometimes happen.
Itโs okay but if your name is Alan Bruner, and auto correct changes it to โAn*l Burner,โ well, thatโs a whole different level!
Oh, did we mention that this email was for his whole company?


69) Please, see the attached sh**t
Sending a file document can be quite easy, not unless you mistakenly put โSh*tโ instead of โsheet.โ
Being a good coworker, this Twitter sender made sure that his colleague never forgot her mistake.


70) The rat!


71) The awkward next-day meeting
Signing off with โReta*dsโ instead of โRegardsโ somehow made their next day meeting really awkward.
To his defense, the letters โtโ and โgโ are close to each other.


72) Who wants to foster?
We all know how rescued deaf dogs need someone to foster them, right?
This sweet lady was looking for someone to foster deaf dogs but ended up changing โFโ to โDโ.
She later said, itโs difficult to find a foster for a โdeadโ dog, right?


73) Secret Santa
Changing your name in your Email just to surprise your daughter is really sweet!
Just remember to put it back to your real name or youโd end up just like this mom here.
We still think itโs super cute!


74) The biggest hugs


75) Thereโs a feast!
โI feast upon your tears.โ This line can be quite intimidating especially when youโre sending it to another virtual game team.
However, this player accidentally typed in โI feast upon your t*ats.โ
Now, itโs hilarious!
