"Some woman sent out a 'Happy Thanksgiving' reminder email about a potluck she was hosting to our entire company (a global bank) by accident. It was email that was clearly meant for a few of her friends at work, as it was a potluck at her home in upstate New York. Most people just deleted the email, but of course a few dozen boomers decided to reply asking to be taken off the email chain, which started the chaos of endless emails about this fucking potluck for like a whole week. Honestly, it was hilarious."
"We had a test environment for our email server where we would obviously test emails prior to deployment. Now, our test environment had ZERO differences between itself and the actual CRM, so the only way you knew you were in test was by your login credentials. I sent a test to myself and to the test contacts with the subject line saying, 'Hey Buttface, 100% Off Today.' The actual email body contained the proper markup and copy, but the SL was always meant to be funny. Except I was in the live environment, not the test one."
"One of my coworkers was working the register and had a guy come up and buy a $2 pack of gum with a $100 bill. He apologized, saying he didn't have any smaller bills. She gave him his $98 change and he left. He came back in a few minutes later and said, 'Hey, I found a $2 coin in my car, can I have my $100 back?' So she did it, not realizing her mistake. It was a small shop, so it was a tough scam to fall for."
