an old friend was going to be in town and emailed a colleague and i to meet for a drink. both the colleague and i had lukewarm feelings about this friend. i wanted to reply only to the colleague, “what do you think? i could take it or leave it,” in order to gauge his interest, but i accidentally hit ‘reply to all’. the old friend never emailed or called again. i e-flubbed.

dear friends,

i signed up for “(insert online networking site)” and accidentally invited everyone in my gmail contacts.

i hardly know what it is and only joined out of curiosity. i don’t vouch for it in any way and i’m sorry to have junked up your inbox.

please find it in your heart to forgive me,

(e-flub victim)
