True story: I once deleted a column I desperately needed and only realized after saving. Cue the heart-stopping panic. Luckily, version history saved me. 😂😂

I left the o out of ‘headcount’ and typed a t not a g in ‘regards’.

I literally send a whole email correcting some work (quite politely, but this was British understatement so I was clearly furious) and then finished with ‘re*ards’. Not ‘kind re*ards’ or ‘best re*ards’. Just a load of ‘constructive’ feedback and then a carriage return and then ‘re*ards’.

They were pretty offended. It was a typo but it was pretty clear that is what I thought.
