A milder story than some here:

Someone had accidentally sent an email to the whole company of 44,000 or so employees. Cue a bunch of emails -replying all- asking why they were receiving the emailโ€ฆ followed by another wave of emails asking people to stop replying all.

Was a great popcorn moment, and made me laugh every time a new email came in.

Once a year in government. I just cringe, every time.

Idiots.

We had this one at a place I worked, except it was a very large company and the chain started crashing servers.

I think we work for the same company...

Quite possibly but gotta keep the internet life separate from real

This happens in the military far too often.

This used to crash outlook servers. If anybody has ever replied to one of these know that I hate you.

Do you work for UAP? This happened recently at my job, and was fucking hilarious.
