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 “Mautice” 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 “Mautice” 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 “Mautice”, 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 Ma’am
Though quite embarrassing especially when your boss can read the entire thread, we think it’s forgivable and an honest mistake.
3) Dear Wrong
Though we’re wondering why the person who created the email didn’t realize that he got the “Wrong” name.
4) I was very nice
However, in this case, instead of “It was very nice to meet you”, she accidentally sent “I was very nice to meet you”.
Her manager had to point it out to her because she didn’t notice it sooner.
5) Too much s*x
We’re laughing so hard – sorry!
6) The rude co-worker
Though, it’s the right of the person to correct you and you should take it properly. This one didn’t.
7) The missing attachment
Sometimes, 3x in a row and we’re talking about the same email.
8) Who’s Hollz?
Nope, it wasn’t sent to a wrong address, turns out she misspelled her own name. We’re 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 “pooping” sound
Good thing it was actually strange “popping” sounds that was being complained. We’re 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.
We’re 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. It’s all the auto-correct’s fault!
13) The bo*bkinders
Though, sometimes, these errors become hilarious mistakes just like changing “Bookbinders” to “Bo*bkinders”.
14) Hey, Scoot!
15) Who is Marka?
Like this guy over here who was furious as they emailed him with the name “Marka”. Only to find out that it was him who added the “a” 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 “self-t*ttie” topic.
Well, let’s just say that everyone had a good laugh.
17) Grumpy Mary
Then she herself ended the email with her name as “Mart”. We’re guessing she needs to send this email to herself as well.
18) Who want’s Nando’s?
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 Nando’s.
19) Who is Mary?
However, in this case, it shows that they still didn’t get it. We’re wondering where they got the name Mary when the sender’s name was Fiona.
20) Dear Sir or Madman
In this case, she failed to notice that her cover letter started with “Dear Sir or Madman”.
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) à très bite
Instead of sending “à très vite” meaning “see you soon”, he sent “à très bite” which literally means “very d*ck”. Oopps!
25) Le cul se forme par ici
This literally translates to “The a*s goes in this direction.” It’s time to move and “Le cul se forme par ici.”
26) C*pulate the document
Not just any type of mistake but a rather hilarious one.
27) Don’t send an email when you’re sleepy
Sending a 2 AM email can be quite a challenge especially when you’re still sleepy.
This Twitter user talked about an upcoming Training A*s instead of “Training Class”.
28) Returning the “favor”
When your last name is a common first name, people tend to confuse your first name with your last name.
This guy’s 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 didn’t notice that she spelled “library” as “libary”.
Well, it’s sort of okay but well, she got corrected after 3 long years of working there.
30) An extra “e”
Some people fail to notice the spelling of the sender’s name on the signature, it happens.
Twitter sender shares how people commonly put the extra letter “e” on her name as it can be spelt that way.
So, she returned the extra “e” and replied to a Steve as “Steeve” with a note saying she’s returning his “e” 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 “Baise Toi” which translates to “F*ck You”.
What’s 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 “beaucoup”.
Instead, he pronounced it as Beau Coup which may look the same but translate to “Beautiful A**).
We’re getting good laughs about this!
33) Mr. & Mrs. Blank
While preparing her fundraising email, she drafted it first by using “Dear Mr. and Mrs. Blank and Blank, I’ve heard so much about you!”
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 “public”, he accidentally wrote “pub*c.”
35) Embarrassing typo
Being all serious and advising someone about the needed requirement such as having sufficient hard disc space but she said “hard dic* space”!
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 “Slick” name
Not just on one occasion but on several emails, this Twitter sender’s phone decides to change her name to “Slick”.
She said she’s wondering if the people receiving her emails think that it’s her nickname.
38) How hard can it be?
The name “Shanice” which was pronounced as (Shaw-NEESE) isn’t 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 “Love, this anus”. She needs to find a new nickname.
39) Naughty auto correct
This Twitter sender’s phone is quite naughty if you ask us.
She responded to her client and said “Thank you so much” and her phone decided it would be better if it would change it to “Thank you, Douche.”
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 “his 20 years of personal boobkeeping experience” is quite hilarious.
We’re pretty sure she was too embarrassed but it still gave her firm a good laugh.
41) The incomplete sentence
It’s amazing how one sentence can turn into a threat when you send it out unfinished.
Just like this one right here. Instead of sending “I’ll shoot you an email when I find out”, the sender sent “I’ll shoot you.”
Good thing they know each other really well and the issue didn’t 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 “tasty n*pples”.
Too bad he never recovered and left. We think it’s too funny!
43) Why one missing letter can change everything
Another story made us laugh so hard but in reality, it does happen – more than we know.
Instead of the word “County” in the subject text field, the sender dropped the letter “o” 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 “reincarnation.”
Let’s 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 “Specialt*ts” in his auto signature.
What’s terrible is that he had it for months!
46) The kind reta*d
When the words “Kindest Regards” turns into “Kindest Reta*ds”.
To her defense, they are quite close to each other, right?
Ever since, she’s been known as the “kindest” of all re*ards until she left the company.
47) Still traumatized
This sender has a habit of checking her documents with words like “Pub*c.”
She said she was still traumatized by the time she said “orga*m” instead of “organism.”
48) A lonely Christmas
Instead of wishing her boss a “lovely” Christmas, this young lady didn’t that auto correct changed it to “lonely” Christmas.
Oh boy!
49) Commas are very important
Good thing this girl had a cool boss!
Instead of sending “Here you go”, she sent it as “Here you h*.”
Instead of pointing the real mistake, her boss just replied – “Shouldn’t it be: ‘Here, you h*?’”
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, we’re guessing it didn’t end well.
You see, instead of Hello, Trish”, she began, “Hello, Trash.”
We’re 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 “go around today”, his auto-correct decided to have fun and changed “g” to “h”.
We all know what it means now. He has been known as the “h* around guy” 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 didn’t know that!
When she went to a meeting and they referred to her mailing list, she was known as the “Millennial Avocado the Unicorn Kween.”
53) She’s a beast!
Instead of “Best”, Erica’s phone always changes it to “Beast” making her signature “Beast, Erica.”
We think it’s actually very catchy! No one wants to mess with the “beast”, 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 “o”
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 ““Thank you for getting back to me on those two counts,” she ended up sending it without the letter “o” on the word “count.”
Unfortunate but hilarious!
56) A weekend for Satan
When you’re in a hurry and you send your client an e-mail only to realize that your phone did an auto-correct.
It’s mostly okay as long as it’s not like this one. Instead of Stan, auto-correct changed it to “Satan.”
57) An old passport
Id’s are very important that’s why it’s 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:
“That’s fine madam, but this passport is from when you were a man…”
Oops! It was her boyfriend’s passport.
58) Boss: “Oh”
Instead of asking permission to take PTO or paid time off, she sent an email saying”
“Taking pot today.”
Boss: “Oh”
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.
He’s certainly great with his expertise of ascertaining CUCUMBER needs.
60) A huge mistake
Exchanging emails in your workplace about “secrets” require an ample amount of time of “checking” where you send it.
This guy was so caught up with the “news” and calling his boss an *ss mistakenly sends the email to their global users – 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 “all assets” she forgot to type in the letter “t”, making it “all ass*s.”
Outlook’s recall feature didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 “Hi, it’s Karen Licking… oh no sorry, that’s not my name! Locking, it’s Karen Locking.”
Maybe she’s 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 “booking link”, auto correct changed it to “F*cking link.”
We’re 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 “F” where the “D” should be.
That makes it the F*ck Brigade.
68) The company wide email
Having auto correct change your name sometimes happen.
It’s okay but if your name is Alan Bruner, and auto correct changes it to “An*l Burner,” well, that’s 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 “Sh*t” instead of “sheet.”
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 “Reta*ds” instead of “Regards” somehow made their next day meeting really awkward.
To his defense, the letters “t” and “g” 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 “F” to “D”.
She later said, it’s difficult to find a foster for a “dead” 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 you’d end up just like this mom here.
We still think it’s super cute!
74) The biggest hugs
75) There’s a feast!
“I feast upon your tears.” This line can be quite intimidating especially when you’re sending it to another virtual game team.
However, this player accidentally typed in “I feast upon your t*ats.”
Now, it’s hilarious!
