We’ve all heard about it happening. One way or another, someone sends a message that wasn’t supposed to go out. The thing about technology—text, e-mail, voice mail, and the like—once you send it, there’s no easy way to retrieve it.
Sometimes it’s adding the wrong recipient, other times it’s including the wrong content. Take for example the woman who attached a frightening headshot of Nicolas Cage instead of her résumé. While she didn’t get the job, she acknowledged her mistake publicly, posting it to Tumblr, and made light of the situation.
Unfortunately, not all missent messages can be so easily swept under the rug. That’s what one teaching assistant has learned after she sent an e-mail to her math students.
The message was supposed to have homework attached. However, instead of pre-calc problems, she mistakenly attached racy pictures that were intended for her boyfriend.
The students then went to social media, spreading the word about the unfortunate mistake.
According to KCGR.com, the TA has been reassigned to a nonteaching position for now.
