What are your best/worst typos in emails to clients?

I've had some pretty great typos in the past. I had one today (below) that I couldn't stop giggling about.


Today's:

"I sharted the feedback with my CEO, I'll let you know what he comes back with"

Nothing like sharting on a Friday afternoon...


My other favorite was:

"I realize you're very busty, but I was hoping we could connect later this week"

And yes, it was to a woman who was, in fact, busty.


What are some of y'all's best/worst typos?

After wrapping a demo, product specialist meant to say something like "i'm going to take a quick pause, I know that was a big data dump"

What she actually said by mistake:  "I'm going to take a quick dump"

During a live demo, auto-correct made my sales engineer type 'sexcellent' while he was sharing his screen. That was pretty great.

Hahaha, has a prospect ever pointed out an unfortunate typo?

I don't think I've ever actually sent it but I've come very close to sending:

"Give me a sex" instead of "sec"
"Kind retards" instead of "Kind regards"

Thank god I proofread.

Shits instead of Shifts. On a presentation slide for a client "- 3 Shits a day, 7 days a week"

A rep from competitor of ours sent out an email, forgetting to update the subject line from FU to [customer]. The recipient was an engineer with a different context of FU of course and he shared a screenshot to Twitter. I felt bad for the poor fella but I couldn’t help giggling 😅

Not to a client but my boss spells my fiancé’s name wrong every time he writes it out. I used to correct him but I’ve just given up. The Xmas card from him with her name spelled wrong is on my fridge as motivation to get a new gig
