The human brain is like a machine that occasionally glitches. Sometimes, the words in your head may not come out the way you intend them to. And it could lead to a hilariously embarrassing moment that you may not be able to shake off for a while.
Here are examples from people who experienced them firsthand. We’ve all been there, and as cringeworthy as they are, we will eventually end up looking back with laughter.
If you’ve been in this situation recently, feel free to share your experience in the comments.

I was texting back and forth with a guy selling a space heater online. I then started texting with a friend about the weird things we do in the doctor’s exam room while waiting for the doctor to come in. I texted “I always hide my bra and underwear under my clothes when I see my gynecologist.” I received a text back “that’s nice but are you still interested in the space heater?”

I like to write strongly worded emails to people and not send them. They get UGLY and it’s extremely therapeutic. I often times edit them over and over until my rage turns level headed. Do it. I highly recommend it.
Except don’t put their actual email address in, or don’t save them for ever and ever. Or at the very minimum don’t accidentally pocket email your last 20 drafts to unsuspecting supervisors, CEOs, colleagues, parents, preachers, and friends.
